Windows 10: Missing System Reserved Partition

I'm not sure how it happened yet I seem to be missing my system partition for one of my drives.

Everything still boots yet sometimes the system just sits on a black screen and I have to reset during boot.

This is what my system looks like:



Based on this system configuration, what is the best way to recreate the System Reserved Partition on Drive D:?

Thanks for any assistance.

W10 System Reserved Partition Error

Hi,

Have you tried all the suggestions above? If not, we suggest the resolution provided above. We also suggest that you follow the steps on this link:

Let us know how it goes.

 

Recovery Partition vs System Reserved Partition

Thanks for all the info guys.

Both original & target SSD's are listed as MBR as opposed to UEFI. I may have created a partition unknowingly in getting the original/new unformatted drive recognized, but I don't recall taking any steps that Windows did not step me through.

Not that an upgrade to WIN 10 Pro is contemplated, but I suspect that having no System Reserved partition will not allow that to happen, after seeing how the original WIN 10 upgrade created a problem for some WIN 7 users that had a smaller 100mb vs 500mb System Reserved partition.

 

"Windows 10 couldn't be installed - we could update the system reserved partition"

I think you mean "could not update", not "could".

Suggestions:

• Disconnect any other hard drives.
• Run chkdsk /f on the System Reserved partition. You'll have to do this from the CMD prompt in Repair Mode.
• Initially there were reports of some System Reserved partitions being too small for the upgrade. Search for details if the first two suggestions fail.
