I don't see any problems in your Disk Management screen print.
The System Reserved partition is System / Active, so that's where your boot code is.
The [C] partition is Boot so that's where Windows is installed.
I don't understand if you installed into unallocated space or a pre-defined partition, but i don't see a problem with what you have now.
You have 3 Primary partitions and 2 Logical partitions.
That's OK, but it is the max number of Primary partitions on that HD.
Just don't do anything that converts to DYNAMIC, or you will have problems.
You should get prompted if you do something and Windows wants to convert to DYNAMIC, don't click OK, Cancel it !
So that means DYNAMIC is dangerous I will certainly keep that in mind DevidE. At least there is no problem in my settings then. Now I'm refilling my hdd with loads of Software and audio-videos again
Thanks everyone who helped me to perform my first partitioning work.
Yup, converting to DYNAMIC has caused many folks problems, requiring a complete re-install.
