Hello
I have a PB iXtreme X6620 UK which when I had it had Windows 7 Home 64-bit installed. The C: drive consisted of 3 partitions, PQSERVICE, SYSTEM RESERVED and the rest of the drive with Win7. I installed Windows 7 Professional, but left the partitions as they were. The SYSTEM RESERVED partition is marked as active. Am I correct in assuming that bootup starts with the SYSTEM RESERVED partition as the active one ? Since I will never revert to Win7 Home, I want to remove these first two partitions and extend the WIn7 Pro partition to cover them and make this partition active. If I do this, will this affect the system booting ? Will I have to reset MBR ? Will I have to modify the BIOS to boot from the new active partition? Any adviced gratefully received TIA -- remove fred before emailing |
