Windows 10: 250mg recovery partition ?

Yeah, those system partitions don't have drive letters assigned and thus do not show up in explorer. You'll only see them in disk management.

 

*What8.1 is the best os ever...never mind this is W10 forums *Smile

 

10 in beta form kicks 8-8.1's ass buddy *Wink

 

NOT the current build. IMHO that is. I didn't like 8.0 all that much, but what they did in 8.1 changed that for me. So far I'm not liking 10 all that much. Lots can and likely will change so my final verdict on 10 will have to wait. I had and still do have high hopes for it.

 

Yea I actually liked the prior build better start menu wise anyway
This build the search is better default wise putting local stuff on top just the web suggestions creeps me out and I really don't see the need for Bing in it at all :/

 

Embrace the bing Mike, embrace it *chuckle W10 is going to be great

 

I'm not liking the Start Menu/Screen mash up at all. I personally prefer the 8.1 Start Screen.

 

Don't get me started on Bing. *Mad If you like it that's fine, I just don't like it getting rammed down my throat. It didn't matter how many times I hid that update in Windows 7 updates, it would always come back. Now in 8 its the default and serves Adds up to your desktop. At least you can turn it off during the install. For now anyway.

 

I did notice that the reserve was not included this time. I do clean installs for 10 and have had the reserve with the active flag that comes with it and messes up the boot. Not this time. I have been sending feedback asking for the install media to see my other active partition. Well I'm thinking they fixed this for me! ha. When I did my install I deleted the reserve then the main partition and it all went together as unalacated. I hit next and instead of getting the message about windows will make a small partition it just stated installing. I was surprised to get the full dual boot screen with ten being default and 7 and vista right below just like its spose to work. So I am one who is happy with 9926

disk manage pic shows ten installed on disk 1 with the vista and 7 on disk 0

10 is C, 7 is F, vista is D, vista recover files is E

 

No doubt I've rejected both skydrive/ onedrive folder and bing desktop search for a very long time for very good reason
I don't need anything soaking up my bandwidth to serve crap web search and unnecessary syncing
I don't even like or need windows essentials photo gallery..... which only movie maker was any good and it took a long time to get any good.

Then you get into the nasty outlook.com junk email stuff and it's just not my cup of tea.
I've always preferred gmail but still wouldn't get into a live stream or title for it.

 

I do use onedrive, but I don't like bing. I only said that jokingly as they are shoving it at us.

 

Thanks Charlie,
I wonder if mini tool would show anything differently ?

Ha Ha, Milligrams *Roflmao2*Roflmao2

I`m glad someone noticed it *Biggrin

 

ThrashZone. I booted my copy of PW 8.1 minitool and saw the same thing as disk manage saw. No other partition on my ssd drive. I have done lots of installs with dual boot scenarios on lots of pc's since this started in oct. but seems to me this is the first time I did not have to mess with the boot files to get all my os's show up on the boot screen. But its all good I'm lovin it.

 

There's a criteria that must be met before that partition will be added.
I'm not sure but is shouldn't be too hard to find.......... an empty drive and a freshly formatted partition seems like a possibility but I can't remember what I had for lunch two hours ago!!
