How many restore partitions do I need ?

Hi Steeboo,

At some stage there were major updates performed on your system, which has caused these multiple Recovery Partitions . . .

Recovery Partitions are created out of your C Drive in turn . . .

So the only actual Recovery Partition that is required is the on to the right of your C Drive

You can safely remove the others if space is required . . .

 

We can't see enough details to advise you we need to see type and size

 

Here is the info on the 4 partitions.
The second partition (E) appeared after using Minitools Partition Wizard to set up partitions on an external hard drive. Since which I have local drives I to R which have no size or content. MiniTools say they can do nothing about it.

 

Post an image from disk management - much easier to interpret

 

Disk Management does not see all the partitions

 

It only hides the MSR partition. We cannot see Drive 0 - you need to drag bottom of window down to enlarge window so we can see all drives.

 

Is this what you want.

 

Hi,
You have 2 system recovery partitions
At least one of them might be able to be removed
Go to this pc and C and see if you have a windows.old folder or a upgrade folder
You might need to show hidden folders files and drives to see it in folder options.

 

To find out which is in use, open a command prompt (Admin) and type reagentc /info

Code: C:\WINDOWS\system32>reagentc /info Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) and system reset configuration Information: Windows RE status: Enabled Windows RE location: \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition3\Recovery\WindowsRE Boot Configuration Data (BCD) identifier: d381b85f-11c6-11e8-8dbc-e34efc00a4ce Recovery image location: Recovery image index: 0 Custom image location: Custom image index: 0 REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.[/quote]

 

Windows.old was deleted some time ago.
Can I simply delete all the partitions on drive 1 (Internal drive) and re partition it as a single partition.

 

C:\Users\>reagentc /infoThis command can only be executed from an elevated command prompt.REAGENTC.EXE: Operation failed: 5REAGENTC.EXE: An error has occurred.

This is the result.

 

No, it won't boot. Your EFI system partition is on disk 1 and your C volume is on disk 0. You could move it onto the SSD if you wanted.

For reagentc you need to run from elevated command frompt (right click and run as Administrator).

 

Yes, that's normal in an ordinary command prompt. I did tell you to...
