  1. Where to find help with complex system partition problem ?


    I have an issue in moving my win 10 system from one computer to another MBR partition on old, GPT on new.


    This SHOULD work - it's done day in and day out, but something is corrupting the process so that neither BCDBOOT nor MBR2GPT will get me to a working system.


    I need to find someone who is truly an EXPERT on system issues who can diagnose the problem and I'm perfectly willing topay well..., but I have had no luck so far in finding such a person.


    Does anyone know such a person?

    Know someone who might know such a person?
    Know a company that would have such a person on staff?
    Know how to get into Microsoft support at a level where this knowledge would be found?

    Thanks

    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.

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that
