aah alright sorry i didn't notice that before lol...thnx for clarifying
i suppose its seeing system reserved partition as the system partition so quickly assigning c: to it and pushing the actual windows drive down the line.

It's just My luck to finally get somewhere since Nov.,2010, just to run out of ink and
paper on the same night, however, I know that patience will persevere, and I can return back to Web Site, with printer full of Toner & Paper.I don't know I guess choked, the first, night I installed, Win7 Home. received"Low Disk space" on System Reserved, 1st thought something got inherited from my XP-Pro System, as I would get BSOD's, by the second, got so bad I salvaged the Hard Drive, And Spent a weekend in my Brother in laws John Deere 8-Wheel Drive, Combine, and made this peice of Crap part of the highway at 5 in the Morning, anyway it was a release, but know I see the ghost still invades the machine, starting to realize that PC's are much more overated that they are worth.My Greatest Appreciation to People Such as yourself Brink, You make the most confusing things seem so easy, and care free to those such a myself who wouldn't know better!:CUDOS BRINK.
dear barefootkid, earlier this year, i saw a tutorial by you about creating system reserved on a clean install using diskpart, i couldn't seem to find it now though, do you mind pointing to me the link to those tutorials?
or would you mind posting here the diskpart command when i would like to do diskpart => clean => create system reserved 200 mb
i would like to do a clean reinstall but i couldn't rmmbr the command for the creating 200 mb system reserved via diskpart, thank you very much,

Hello kungfupanda,
You could create the "100 MB System Reserved" partition while you are doing a clean install by doing the first item in the note box under step 8 in the tutorial below.
Clean Install Windows 7
Hope this helps, :)

Hello mate, sorry for the long response time.
Have a look at Step Two #3 of the tutorial linked below for that method.
So if I didn't want to install a second Windows OS and just create the System reserved partition after installation, should I just follow the steps in 'Option One'?
I still don't know how this works. From what I see you're just creating a generic partition with the volume label System Reserved. I don't know how Windows will realize that it must put the System files there. Any help?
Hi,
Everything running fine till a few days ago, when all WU failed. Installed several updates manually & left with just a few that simply refuse to install; KB3008627, KB3003057, KB2976978 & KB3011780. They all seem to install fine, but during the reboot I get "Failure configuring Windows Updates", it undoes & restarts twice. Then WU says "pending restart".
I've tried; Windows 8.1 WU fixit, DISM restorehealth, SFC /scannow, removing Windows UEFI in the BIOS, reset permissions, full chkdsk, uninstalling all AV/MalWare software & numerous other things.
I used Microsoft Support. They connected remotely & tried the same things. They then said they are seeing 0x800F0922 on systems where there is no "System Reserved". I installed Windows 8.1 into an existing partition on my SSD (I realized the previous OS had a SR partition - but at the end of the drive...? So I now have 448Mb unallocated at the end of the SSD (C drive).
MS said I needed to reinstall Windows 8.1 - from scratch, deleting all partitions & creating new, which will then create a new SR partition. I'm not keen - since I have lots of apps, so it'll take an age.
I only have the 1 OS installed to C:WINDOWS. 1 Samsung 250Gb SSD. C is 238Gb; System, Boot, Page File, Active, Crash Dump, Primary Partition.
Apparently the 0x800F0922 error indicates insufficient space in the SR partition. Of course - I don't even have one!
Is there a way to create the SR partition without reinstalling Windows 8.1 completely? Will EasyBCD do it? If so, what options/how etc?
Thanks
Martin
