Windows 10: No system reserved partition on my SSD

How do I create a system reserved partition on my SSD C: drive. I have 3 other drives installed and all have reserved system partitions.

Any help would be appreciated

Two System Reserve Partitions

I have two hard drives on my computer, an SSD with my operating system (Windows 8.1 which I just successfully upgraded to Windows 10) and an hdd for additional storage. After upgrading to Windows 10 I noticed that I now have two System Reserve Partitions.
One partition is on the SSD and the other is on the hdd. Both contain bootmgr and similar files. The files on the hdd have newer file modified/created dates than those on the ssd System Reserve partition. If I set my BIOS to boot from the SSD I get the
blue screen message "no bcd found". If I set the BIOS to boot from the hdd it takes over a minute, but Windows 10 boots fine.

I'm guessing that the System Reserve partition on the hdd (storage hard drive) contains the boot files for Windows 10, but Windows 10 is not installed on that drive, it is installed on the SSD (which I think has the old Windows 8.1 boot files on its own
System Reserve partition).

I've given the two System Reserve partitions drive letters so that I can see the contents of the drives. Can I simply copy the contents of the newer System Reserve partition onto the older System Reserve partition so that Windows 10 will boot from the same
SSD that it is installed on?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Craig

 

How can I move the "system reserved" partition?

When installing windows, the system reserved partition was installed on my hard drive, and windows was installed on my SSD. Is there a way to move the partition to my SSD without removing any of my personal data? If so than how can I do this safely? Thanks
in advance.

 

If you can boot with only your SSD connected, that means the boot loader files are present in your C: partition, and in that case, you don't need a separate System Reserved partition.

 

I do not have one either on my Hard Drive.

 

Unless your dual booting, or multi booting other Windows OS, there should only be one system reserved partition on the boot drive. Certain install scenarios can result in it not being there. The drive already being partitioned, and the options you click during the install. Some upgrade installs etc. If I do a clean install to an un partitioned space, Windows will create it automatically, along with any other partitions it needs.

 

I have disconnected all my drives except the SSD and the PC boots correctly. When I go to check out under My Computer I see the drive but no reserved drive. partition.

When I try and upgrade Windows reports that it cannot access the system reserve partition.

What do I now do?

 

The small system reserved partition does not show in file exploder or diskmgmt.msc. You can see it using a third party disk utility like gparted from a linux session, or in Windows by using diskpart.exe from an elevated command prompt. The command sequence is:

list disk

select disk [n] where [n] is the number from the list disk command of the disk that holds your Windows system and boot files

list part
