    DISK BOOT FAILURE. Can't figure this one out!


    What functions does the System Reserved partition actually perform?

    As near as I can tell its only functions are:
    • Waste a Primary partition slot
    • Cause weird boot problems

    I've set my PC up without one:
    • Pre-partition HDD
    • Install XP
    • Install W7
    • Install LM17

    Well, I've about had it with fooling around with this. I re installed 9879 to my spare drive after first disconnecting my 8.1 drive. This time I left the drive "unallocated" and left it up to 9879 to do whatever with it. After installation it showed up with the boot sector within the 9879 drive. I shut it down and switched the Bios to my 8.1 SSD drive and it booted and when running Disk Management showed that 8.1 had a boot sector and now the 9879 drive didn't! ARRRRGGHHH. So I ran Easy BCD and added the spare drive with 9879 on it to the boot menu. Upon rebooting I got the Duel Boot Screen to choose with my choice of either system. Now I can boot whichever system I want. My 8.1 is on the SSD and the 9879 is on the spare drive which now has the boot menu on it. Not exactly the way I wanted it but it'll have to do for now until W10 comes out and then I'll get rid of 8.1 Thanks to all for your help.
