EXTRA DRIVES WHY?

[Chrono_croz]

So I just cloned my 2 TB HHD to my 500 GB SSD drive using MACRIUM REFLECT, and yes my transfer size was only 230 GB.  Everything works great but in my computer  it now shows 2 extra system reserve drives "S" and "F" and both basically have only 89 MBs of 349MBs remaining available, but neither have any files inside of them why is this.  And they show as just partitions on disk management.  Can I just delete them or should I unallocate  or leave them? they are not very large so should I just leave them be?

I would hazard a guess that macaium reflect has marked those two partitions as primary partitions which would have assigned then driver letters, and there doesn't seem to be a way to revert it from the quick google I did.

 

You could try removing the assigned drive letters for each of the system reserved partitions to see if that removes them from the list of drives in my PC, but you might have to delete them entirely which shouldn't do much damage apart from not being able to do any form of recovery if the OS suffers from any issues that cause it not to be bootable (although you should only have one on the drive the OS is installed on)

He can also boot a Linux USB and clear the partition flags himself. ubuntu comes with GParted, which is the best partitioning tool in my opinion.
