    Hello,

    I'm running a Windows 7 pc, which has a 128GD SSD with the OS installed and two 2TB internal HDDs. I went to configure the HDDs just now and one of them is completely partitioned as System Reserved.

    I read and watched some tutorial on creating a small partition on the SDD for the System Reserve and did so following a video guide following the following steps at the command prompt:

    > bcdboot C:\Windows /s H:
    >DISKPART
    >select volume H
    >active

    Now I'm not sure if I even needed to do that.

    What I want to do is get back that 2TB drive that's marked as System Reserved. How can I do that?

    Attached is a snapshot of the current Disk Management setup.

    Thanks,
    John

    I ended up shrinking the volume of the 2GB drive that was listed as System Reserved by all but 450mb and now I have the remainder of that HDD available.

    I deleted the new partition I created on the SDD and expanded c: to use the entire SDD.

    I guess I'm good now.
