System Reserved Partition is 75GB

guerillaradio · Sep 8, 2013

Hey guys

My system reserved partition is incredibly large, being 75GB, i do not know why its this big, but that hard drive previously had windows 7 on it, i bought an SSD to put my OS on, formatted the original drive to use just for Games, Movies etc.
now i have a 75GB System reserved Partition, i dont know how to get rid of it, and why its so large, 75GB seems too much, as my other System reserved is 100MB.

Is 75GB the size that shows up in Disk Management or are you just calculating that from missing space?

And it is on a different drive (a HDD) than your OS? And there is not an SRP also on the SSD?

RealBeast :

this is what i mean
the SSD which i have should also be 240GB and it only shows 148GB
as well as my Western Digital 1TB drive which only shows 930GB
so im not quite sure

931GB is the correct size for a 1TB drive (the market binary v. decimal thing). That is an additional partition on your SSD, as the combined size is the normal expected for a 240GB drive. Since it is marked system reserved I would assume that you can't do anything with it.

If it were me, I would backup my data and use diskpart commands to make that partition inactive, then delete it and expand the C drive into the space. You will have to be precise in doing that or will end up doing a clean install. Let me know if you want the commands to try that.
