Help Plz, System Partion Elsewhere.

Hello,

I started cleaning my partitions and discovered that my C: partition where my windows 7 files are, is not the system partition. The system partition is on another partition on another hard drive. I attached a picture form disk manager and highlighted the two partitions.
The question is: can i move the system partition to my C: without reinstalling windows? Use a program for that or something.
Thank you.

 

Your C:/ partition is ALWAYS where the system files etc are located (you cant move these)
your C:/ partition is fine, as for the rest, this is exactly why you DONT play with partitioning software.

We could help you get the drives into a manageable state, but that would mean moving lots of Data around and I noticed some of the space used is 900GB+ (so that'll take a while to move)

Let us know if you want to go down the process

 

900 GB move? i better install windows again. Tx for help anyway.

 

The way that you have partitioned all of your disks is sporradic at best...
You don't need to install windows is what I am saying, if you can 'live' with the mess of the disks then just leave them as they are.

Personally I would consolidate the partitions

 

I unpluged the hard drive DISK 2 with Q: system partition set my Disk 1 with the windows files and booted with the windows 7 cd in, clicked on repair and startup recovery then and boom it works now. Now i managed to delete the Q partition from disk manager and now i am back to normal.

 

Hi Alex. Thats a big improvement, on what you had.
