i just got an ssd and installed a clean copy of windows on it. booted up in the ssd, deleted the 1tb hdd but there was a partition marked reserved. i couldn't delete/format it. i loaded up windows and deleted it from there. i was under the impression that the reserved partition would also be located on the ssd but was hidden because i was booted in it and that deleting it from a drive that i wasn't going to boot from wouldn't have been a problem.
well, it was. i have since then found out that i can't boot into the ssd, so i put windows back onto the hdd and am now at 931gb of space available.
my question is this: how do i get back the full tb without the missing partition when/if i can get the ssd back and how do i go about getting the ssd back?
the whole ordeal has been very confusing for me
EDIT: also, i have everything on the hdd and it can all be saved if i can get the sdd back and working and can transfer files, so i guess that's important. the only thing i have on the sdd right now is my browser profile which is going to be unholy to fiddle around long enough to actually get back.
