So I have a problem... I just built a new pc and pretty much had the system reserved partition on my 3TB hard drive (I know, what an idiot. Should've only had the 250gb SSD in before anything else). I've done so many things in an attempt to move the system reserved partition to my 250gb SSD. I eventually went to this website and in the replies, someone was able to use EasyBCD to have their C: drive get the System status. I've attached an image of what my drives look like now.

 

I've unplugged the other drives to test if Windows would boot from the 250gb SSD and it works. But now when I look at it, I don't have a system reserved partition in Disk 0.

It looks like I'm able to delete the System Reserved volume from Disk 1(which I couldn't before using EasyBCD), but I haven't yet since I don't know if it's safe for me to do so. Another reason I've been doing this is that I'm trying to change the drive from MBR to GPT.

 

Basically, I'm trying to get System Reserved to have its own partition in Disk 0 and to convert the 3TB drive to GPT.

Any ideas on where I should go from here?

Just leave it there, don't mess around with it. Usually system reserved used in the case of your system corrupted.

I suggest you do a full reinstall and let windows manage the partition of your SSD.

How should I do that? Is there a guide I could follow?
