Windows 10: System Reserved?

Hi All
Have been trying to find out, in Disc management why I have one HDD showing it System Reserved. I think it was my old system drive and may have had Win 7 on.
Many Thanks for any help

Windows 10 destroyed my laptop

When I installed Windows 10 for the first time it was working fine for at least 3 days. Then that's when everything went wrong. My Start menu wouldn't open and my speakers kept making static sounds. So I went on Microsoft forums for a solution to get back
my start menu. What they told me was to use powershell and type this command

When I typed in the command I saw yellow letters and red letters. When it was done I couldn't open my App store. That's when I decided I was going to roll back to Windows 8.1.

When I was back in Windows 8.1 I had a lot of problems. Media player wasn't working and the apps that I downloaded from the app store would close after I opened them. I could only open the app store, but I couldn't play any games from the app store. I did
SFC/ scannow and it found some corrupted files. So then I typed another command in CMD

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

After that I ran SFC /scannow again and it said it didn't find any corrupted files. I restarted my computer and then tried opening Media player and app store games, but they wouldn't open.

What should I do? Is my laptop stuck like this forever?

System partition and boot partition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you want to fix this, and you know what you are doing.

Step One:

Delete the System Reserved partition. edit: In this case, wipe the entire disk.

- Boot the computer using the Windows 7/8/10 installation media.
- On the first screen, press SHIFT+F10 to bring up the command prompt.
- Run the following commands at the command prompt.

diskpart
list disk (this will give you a listing of the disks on your system)
select disk # (select the disk you want to clean)
clean (running the clean command will delete all partitions on the disk)
exit

Step Two:

When I loaded win 10, I only had the 250Gb ssd drive connected, if I leave it as it is, I loose a full 500Gb drive?

Step Three:

- Open the Disk Management utility.

 

It looks like that system reserved partition on the last disk is where the BCD store is located, because it is marked active. What I would do is shrink the partition to 350mb then create your data storage partition after it to use the rest of the space.

 

From your screen shot. If you disconnect disk 4 from the PC, you will not be able to boot up Windows. Here's how you can fix this problem.
Download : EasyBCD - NeoSmart Technologies
Install then run and follow the screen shot below:




Temporarily disconnect disk 4 then try to boot again. If it's working, connect disk 4 back and from Admin command prompt:

• diskpart
• select disk 4
• clean
• exit

Now open disk management, create simple and format it. You'll have the whole disk for data.
Hope this helps !!!
