Windows 10: Which one of these is my OS Partition?

I'm not that much of a tech guy myself and have just been following the Microsoft help panel's instructions to tackle error 0x80070643 . Could someone tell me which of these is my OS Partition?Partition ### Type Size Offset ------------- ---------------- ------- ------- Partition 1 Primary 50 MB 1024 KB Partition 2 Primary 237 GB 51 MB Partition 3 Recovery 520 MB 237 GBI would provide a screenshot but this text editor won't allow m to upload images for some reason.

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

 

Partition or multiple hard drives?

As the title suggests. Is it worth installing say a 36GB drive for the OS soley or partitioning an existing larger drive with either 2 or more partitions? I am currently running Vista 32bit and want to try out 64bit and am sick of reformatting the whole drive. Any suggestions?

 

Installing WIn10 on machine with no OS. Issues with partition creation

Hello,

I have a Lenovo 5-15ARH05. It came with no OS installed. When I try to create a partition it simply won't show. If I manually create a partition, and follow the required steps (below), it will delete some file that came from manufacturer.
Is that safe?

"This partition might contain files or applications from your computer manufacturer..."

1. list disk (and make note of the disk number to install Windows to)
2. select disk=0 (where disk 0 is your destination drive, so be careful, all information on this drive will be removed)
3. clean
4. convert mbr
5. create partition primary size=xxx (where xxx – is the size of new partition)
6. select partition=1
7. active
8. format fs=ntfs quick
9. assign
10. exit
