    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

  3. Can Partition Type be changed

    I recently resized the WINRETOOLS partition in order to resolve VSS shadowing problems. Those problems went away however the partition type, which used to be "Recovery" is now shown as "Primary". The partition attribute also wasn't preserved but I used DiskPart - GPT to correct that. I am using Veritas System Recovery 2016 for backup and although I can include the resized partition in the full disk backup, it is not listed as required for full recovery. I wonder whether the type not being Recovery may be the reason and whether it is even important as far as performing successful recovery. In any event is there a way to change the partition type?

    How to change driver status or type from system to primary partition

    Modify windows 10 partitions?

    edited diskpart output from first post: Code:
    It is OK to have boot partition as logical but not system (as system must be active primary partition) I believe.
