Windows 10: 128 MB other partition

Does anyone know what these 128 MB "other partitions" are that show up with Partition Wizard ?

They do not show up in Disk Management.

I`d like to delete them if possible.

If it`s nothing to worry about, then I`ll just leave them be.

Thanks, Brian *Smile

Partitions

Windows crashed. Used Microsoft creator to reinstall because in the crash, I could not get to my backups. In the partition manager, I now have as follows.

File system Capacity used unused status type

* Unallocated 1.00 mb 0 bytes GPT

*: System Fat32 60 mb 7102 mb 288.98 mb system GPT(EFI system partition)

*: Other 128 mb 128 mb 0 bytes none GPT(reserved partition)

* unallocated 131.05 GB 0 bytes 131.05 GB none GPT

c: NTFS 315.71 GB 31.78 GB 283.93 GB Boot GPT(data partition)

*: other 849.00 MB 849.00 MB 0 bytes none GPT (unused Partition)

*: other 17.70 GB 17.70 GB 0 bytes none GPT(unused partition)

I know I need the system and the C: but can any of these others be deleted?

Never ran into this many partitions before. Any help is appreciated.

Fail loop... Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3213986)

Have you tried assigning a letter to this partition and taking a look at it?

 

Get out of the house now Brian!

The Black helicopters are coming for you now:



You just found the CIA's hidden data collection partitions*Eek



Seriously though,They are the hidden MSR partition: Microsoft Reserved Partition - Wikipedia

 

Is that because I setup them up as GPT drives ?

None of my 500 GB drives have that show up in PW and they are also GPT.

I`m baffled, befuddled, amazed and astounded.... All at the same time *Shock

 

I have them on some drives too, seem to recall when I looked into it they were something to do with the GPT file system rather than the OS so obviously left them alone - when it come down to it between internal and external over five disks I have 2 128MB, on an 8TB external and a 3TB Internal 1 an 8MB on a 2TB and nothing on another 3TB with less than half of the disk partitioned confusing yes, but not enough to worry about

 

Thanks Nigel, I`ll leave them be *Smile
