📎 AI Summary:
Barna asked if he could relocate the Windows system reserved partition from his 320GB drive to his 1TB drive, seeking advice on the complexity of doing so. ussnorway suggested that the system reserved partition likely contains EFI files and can be moved using tools like Acronis True Image, though reinstalling Windows with only the 1TB drive might be a simpler solution. The overall sentiment indicates that relocating the partition is possible but may be more straightforward to resolve by reinstalling Windows to ensure proper default placement.

Hello,

I'd like to ask for help. I installed windows on my 1TB drive, but it automatically put the system reserved partition on my 320GB drive. Is it possible to relocate that to my 1TB drive, and if so, how complicated would that be, and how would I go about doing that?

Thanks in advance,
Barna

Sounds like the efi files which Windows defaults to the first partitian on the first drive?
An image from 'How could i relocate system reserved partition from one hdd to another?'. Disk Management shows Disk 0 with multiple NTFS partitions and their usage details.


  • Yes Acronis true image can move it ... there are prob others that can as well.
imo if you want the thing on your 1 t drive (internal) then you are better off re-installing Windows with only the 1 T drive in the system... that way Windows will just default to it.
