[SOLVED] System Reserved Partition

So I have a problem... I just built a new pc and pretty much had the system reserved partition on my 3TB hard drive (I know, what an idiot. Should've only had the 250gb SSD in before anything else). I've done so many things in an attempt to move the system reserved partition to my 250gb SSD. I eventually went to this website and in the replies, someone was able to use EasyBCD to have their C: drive get the System status. I've attached an image of what my drives look like now.

I've unplugged the other drives to test if Windows would boot from the 250gb SSD and it works. But now when I look at it, I don't have a system reserved partition in Disk 0.

It looks like I'm able to delete the System Reserved volume from Disk 1(which I couldn't before using EasyBCD), but I haven't yet since I don't know if it's safe for me to do so. Another reason I've been doing this is that I'm trying to change the drive from MBR to GPT.

Basically, I'm trying to get System Reserved to have its own partition in Disk 0 and to convert the 3TB drive to GPT.

Any ideas on where I should go from here?

If the drive boots with no other disk in the system, should be safe to convert the other drive.

Another thing, if you "just" built it, why not just start the Windows setup clean with only the SSD in the system this time? Seems like the time you spend doing all this would have been just as long if you started over.

Hi Hang,

I actually don't know the approach to this. Is there a guide I could follow or is there a procedure you suggest in doing this?
