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

 

Microsoft Reserved Partition of 128 MB on my GPT Hard Disk and Partitioning of GPT disk

I need more information about Microsoft Reserved Partition, because I know it is possible to recreate it in DISKPART with "create partition msr offset=??? size=???".

But is it possible to recreate it in a new position by temporary having 2 reserved partitions and then delete the copy in the old position without rebooting (to move msr partition)?

I ask that because I have a partition table complicated by an original install of Win 8 64b, upgraded to Win 8 Pro 64, upgraded to win 8.1 Pro.

In plus to eliminate the error on saving System Image I enlarged Recovery Partition 1 and 5 to 800MB (exaggerating); finally to have more space on primary partition I resized part 6 (primary), moved part 5 (Recovery), enlarged part 4 (boot-primary).

Now my partition list is:

# Type Size Offset

Part 1 Recovery 800 MB 1024 KB

Part 2 System 260 MB 801 MB

Part 3 Reserved 128 MB 1061 MB

Part 4 Primary 355 GB 1189 MB

Part 5 Recovery 800 MB 356 GB

Part 6 Primary 1505 GB 357 GB

I suppose that my Windows 10 upgrade is not possible for this partition table so

my target should be (???):

Part 1 Recovery 450 MB 1024 KB

Part 2 System 260 MB 451 MB

Part 3 Reserved 128 MB 701 MB

Part 4 Primary 356 GB 829 MB

Part 5 Recovery 450 MB 357 GB

Part 6 Primary 1505 GB 358 GB

What you suggest for that hard work without having to reinstall all?

 

How to remove HP Recovery partition in Windows 10?

youngwarlord is correct that diskpart.exe is the tool to use. Be aware however! diskpart.exe is a powerful and unforgiving tool meant for experts. You can quickly brick your computer with this tool if misapplied. You've been warned.

youngwarlord's answer assumes you want to make the former HP Recovery partitions into its own new partition.

If instead you want to add the former HP Recovery partitions to your primary C: partition, you want to use a different command sequence.

On my HP laptop, I had two HP recovery related partitions. The first one was about 499MB and the second one was about 11GB. Both of these partitions are immediately located after the C: partition. Because the partitions immediately follow, it will be possible
to extend the C: partition to include all of this space.

Note that the partition numbers on my laptop may not match yours. You can correlate the disk numbers and partition numbers with the
Disk Management desktop application.

Now you can Start the Computer Management desktop application and allow it to change your computer.

Click on Computer Management (Local) > Storage
> Disk Management. In the lower half of the window, all of the disks appear in disk number order. Within each disk, each partition is displayed across the window to the right in partition order starting at 0. (Note the partition numbers are
not listed here. Just count them up. Also note that some partitions may be hidden in this view. No worries though. You'll find them a little later when using diskpart.exe and can account for them when determining the real partition numbers you want to delete.
In my laptop's case, partition 3 was hidden. Because the partitions I wanted to delete followed that partition, I just added one to the partition numbers to get the correct partition numbers.)

Remember to check and then double-check every assumption before proceeding from step to step. You can destroy your computer instantly.

Here is what I did...

Start the cmd.exe program with Administrator rights.

C:\WINDOWS\system32> diskpart.exe

Now you can Start the Computer Management desktop application and allow it change your computer.

Click on Computer Management (Local) > Storage
> Disk Management.

Right-click on the C: partition and click on Expand Volume...

Click the Next button.

The unallocated space you previously freed will already be selected. Click the
Next button and then click the Finish button.

That's all there is to it. Be careful folks. Plan every step. And enjoy the extra disk space.
