Windows 10: System Reserved disk is showing in File Explorer

I was detected one of my partition of my PC, after restarting my pc, System Reserved disk is showing in File Explorer.

I want to hide it, and create a new partition for Unallocated space showing in Disk Management.

Showing System Reserved Partition in File Explorer?


Hi

For some reason Windows 10 is showing the System Reserved partition from Windows 8 in the File Explorer window.

It never did this before.

See Drive D:\



















Can anyone tell me how to make it invisible.

What I saw from the Disk Management, You did not do a clean install, you probably did an in place upgrade. The 100MB System Reserved is normally used in Window 7. For a fresh install the Disk partition scheme should be as follows:

1. 500 MB System Reserved partition
2. C- Drive.

Since you did not have to many apps installed, I would re-install Windows 10 as suggested above. It is better to have your Windows installed on the first sata port (Disk 0) so I suggest to open the case and connect the cable from disk 0 to disk 2 where you have C: drive. Disconnect the other cables for now and do the steps below:

1. Boot up with Windows installation media
2. On the first screen. Press SHIFT + F10 and type
   diskpart
   select disk 0
   clean
   exit
   exit
3. Continue with Installation, select the unallocated partition then click Next (Do not create partition/format. Let Windows create the needed partitions.
4. Once done, reconnect the other cables for drive D and E.
5. Reboot, your Disk 0 should contain 500MB system reserved and C drive.

Thanks for your input topgundcp. I don't have any installation media as such, as my upgrade was the freebie (from Win7 Ultimate).

As a thought though, if the C was sited on Disk 0 instead of Disk 2, wouldn't the issue then be that the C drive wouldn't be visible outside of 'ThisPC'?
