there are so many useless guides out there for this problem but you are a godsend. you have a very good cadence in speaking as well, quick enough that I don't fall asleep and slow enough that I get to follow. Kudos to you!!
I just want to say a big THANKYOU for this. I have struggled with this problem for the past 2 days and there is so much bad info out there on how to do this. You are the first that explained the right way to do this.
A big thanks from me as well for the exact same reasons! Two days of troubleshooting and this was the one piece of the puzzle missing from all of the other explanations I found! Your instruction was clear and succinct without digressing into tangents or skimming over important details for those of us who don't (or didn't) know how to do this.
Thank you. This video is perfect from video to audio. Windows decided to install the system reserved partition on my HDD and not the SSD windows is on, and my HDD is failing so I had a lot of trouble getting into windows Thank you very much
nice tutorial m8 really appreciate, i just upgraded my 4 yo gaming laptop to 2tb cuz why not, thank god i bought a SATA dock. but couldn't do it without your tutorial
Thank you very much! I wanted to change out my old hardrives for newer ones, and was curious why I couldn't boot anymore, as my Main drive for Windows is an SSD. Now I saw, that that partition was created on one of those harddrives, but my recovery was on C. Must have happend, when I upgraded from Win 7 to 10, because back in the day under windows 7 I didn't have any problem with changing out harddrives. Thank you very much! I am glad that I didn't need to install any weird third-party-software.
Thank you, your video is very comprehensive however my problem is slightly different. I have 2 SSD, Vol 0 is MBR, that contains my Reserve system only. My Vol 1 is GPT, that contains my OS, Recovery and EFI. I tried to move the Reserve system but I can't activate the GPT partition created as GPT doesn't understand. I also tried to use the MBR2GPT on Vol 0 but that doesn't work. Is there a way a way to make this happen without doing a full reinstall? Trying to prep my system for Win11. Thanks again.
Create a new windows on the pc u need MBR u need gpt convert this in cmd Repair ur GPT windows with CMD In new convertet gpt system and watch the video again
Hi there, I have an issue with this method, so basically i have a SSD set as C: with my active windows there and aside from the main partition I have a recovery partition with like 500 MB the same as yours, yet I have my system reserved partition on my HDD which is D: in my case. I've followed your guide very clearly yet when I type in reagentc /info to view the primary boot partition it's set to disk 0 (my SSD) partition 3 (The 500 mb recovery partition) even though i clearly disabled the system reserved in my HDD. I went ahead and changed the ID to 7 for my 500 MB recovery partition and even inactivated it yet it still pops up there. What do I do?
Hello Sir thank you for the tutorial, the only thing is that the "new" reserved partition shows up as a drive in file explorer, and i want to make it hidden is it possible?
Hello. I don't think this video can solve my problem. What my problem is that my windows 10 had an update and it said restart your PC. I clicked on restart and it went to a loading screen saying we are installing system updates. It took like more than 30 minutes and the update installation did not finish. I just force shutdown my PC and turned it on again. Right after that I tried installing windows 11 but it gave me partition error. I even tried installing windows 10 on it again from the Microsoft website but it still gave me partition error even for windows 10. Please help me find a solution to this. Also it does not show the system reserved area in the disk management area.
7:20 when it reached this part i couldnt keep going because my partition type was some long code and it didnt let me change its id to 27 i hope i undid everything right if someone can tell me how to do it with this problem im thankful
I was using a GPT formatted disk for this issue and with a bit of help from chatgpt I got it working. The disk on its own is not said as Primary Partition instead Basic Data Partition and the new 1 GB of space you create will be called data partition and you also can not set it to active. You also don't have to disable the other disks system partition just unplug it at the next restart so the system doesn't even search it. When you list the partitions in DISKPART you will get the Type correctly listing system instead of Primary like in the video. The partitions Type is different on GPT so instead of 27 FOR ME it was EFI System partition: c12a7328-f81f-11d2-ba4b-00a0c93ec93b (that's the ID you need). It may wary so you can enter the HELP SET command and it lists everything you need. I'm not a pro so this may not be correct information for everyone, make sure to check online for more guides if you're unsure.
Thank you so much bro, I confirmed with my old HDD and the EFI System partition had the exact same ID as the one you listed. I then just set the new partition on my new hard disk to have that ID, overrided it and then restarted PC. I also unplugged my old disk to make sure I'm booting off of the new one only plus I also set the new disk as the default boot in the bios setting. Everything is working great and I no longer need my old disk to boot. I'll leave it unplugged for now or maybe in the future reformat it and use it as a file backup. Again, thank you very much kind stranger.

Hi, After following your steps very carefully, now I cannot boot my PC anymore... it used to work.... and I only wanted to move it because I got a new hard drive... I have tried to use Windows installation media to startup repair, and it didn't work. I have also tried to use Windows PE to undo the changes, and it also didn''t work.

REAgent is pronounced (R E Agent) or (Recovery Environment agent) 0x27 (hex 27) is pronounced (two seven) not (twenty seven) since it's base 16 not base 10

I have problem. I have some D: partition and a shrink to become twice, but the other partition is empty but used maybe 10GB. i was rechecked it was System and Reserved. how solution to cut this system operational to the other partition?
i just tried this and now my pc says it can't find an operating system. please tell me there is a way to fix this because i had nearly 2TB of data on my C drive that I really hope didn't just get nuked.
I followed it until 7:50 and then rebooted. Now it says 'Reboot and Select proper Boot device...' I have followed many tutorials on how to fix it but none work. I think it is because of the id=27 thing. Please help me!!! 🙏
i need help. i did everything but it says I don't have windows re location set and my windows re status is disabled. im scared to turn my PC off. please help quick
@@alexanderbermeo4394Had to do a clean installation of windows 11 on my PC. This was the only way I could switch to UEFI and fix my partition layout. If you want to attempt this make sure your current pc is properly backed up and any files you want to keep are kept off the c:drive. I also recommend following a guide to make sure things go smoothly.
What if my recovery partition is located on the disk where the OS sits already? Do I just have to inactivate the System Reserved partition and activate the recovery partition? The id of the recovery partition is already 27.
This made my PC unbootable. It gave the error "No bootable device found" at the start. If someone went into the same issue after following the above steps you can recover the system with a Windows DVD or a bootable USB. Plug in the bootable device and boot from that device. Then go to the repair. Where you can open a command prompt and reverse what you have done previously. (just activating the old 'active' partition and making the newly activated partition 'inactive').
Make sure you understand what you are doing and have activated the right EFI Partition ("system reserved volume). It is a good idea to completely follow a guide first, or even better use a written guide. Modifying and moving windows boot partitions is a very annoying subject, and should be undertaken with great care.
It is better to make a separate partition (volume) for your Users folder so that it does not get removed if you have to reinstall windows and delete files, or it the windows partition got corrupted (rare, but still)
This saved my ass.. used my bootable drive ..and cmd.. do we know why this failed us? What did we miss... I still want to move this over from disc0 to this new part and set active.. what's our best bet here?

My boot loader is on my old Windows 10 M.2 drive. While Windows 11 is on my new one. The recovery partition is on the right new m.2 drive, but the bootloader is on the old. Is the bootloader on the 100MB (EFI System Partition)? Can I shrink my new Windows 11 m.2 installation and do the steps you mentioned to create bootloader on it? Or so it can boot, since it can't if I deactivate the old M.2 drive in BIOS. It needs to load that bootloader in order to be able to boot into new WIndows. Should I just shrink it at 100-150MB, so there is space for the bootloader, or does it take up more space? Kind regards
I spent a million hours pulling my hair out because this didn't work. My computer was missing the winre.wim file. I needed to buy a USB flash drive and download Windows 10 from Microsoft onto it (4GB), copy the install.esd file onto my computer, then download 7-zip, select Open Archive and copy the Winre.wim file into Windows/System32/Recovery where it should have been (I had deleted my Recovery partition where it might have been hiding because of this video). After that, the instructions in this video worked. I also used MBR2GPT to convert my drive to GPT and changed the BIOS to load from UFEI instead of Legacy.
Finally! I tried other third-party stuff like EaseUS and Aomei and found them extremely cumbersome and cluttered. This right here solved my System Reserve Partition move problem. I didn't even follow the steps for changing recovery drive since it is already in my preferred disk. I just followed the changing of system reserved and it worked flawlessly. Thank you very much!
@@theapplecanfly there's the cmd command stuff in this video where the boot files are generated on your new drive. it was before the recovery drive stuff.
@@theapplecanfly make sure to mark the old system reserved drive as inactive FIRST before deleting! if your system is able to boot with the old system reserved drive inactive, then that means your PC is now booting through the new drive. Then you can delete the old system reserved partition. for the recovery stuff, that depends if you want it to be in the same drive as the recovery drive. I just ignored it because my only concern is to move my system reserved partition from my mechanical drive to my SSD. But the two stuff are not related at all, you can do one or the other without having to do the other.
I had exactly the same issue, my primary SSD had bad sectors and I got a new SSD, to make sure new SSD is healthy, I connected it to the PC and ran few checks. After that I reinstalled OS on the new SSD and after few hours I realised the mess i was in… I checked in RUclips and after going through few unrelated issues landed on this link…. Blindly followed the process and got the issue resolved… thank you for the great tutorial 🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💐
America is not the best country in the world. They don't even have a direct democracy. To call a country with practically only two parties a democracy is almost going too far. And mostly only the rich can afford universities there. And you're not freer in America either. Anything to do with alcohol or sex is only allowed very late in life. The only thing that is freer in America than in other countries is that practically everyone can get a gun. And again, I see that as a disadvantage. So I'm very happy to be here in Switzerland. And America now seems so unsafe to me that I wouldn't even go there as a tourist. Nowhere are there more gun deaths and shootings than in America.
Hello Army! It seem that somhow after I installed a new 2TB M.2 Card then installed a New Win 10 Pro a System Reserved Drive (K) & (L) have appeared on one of three of my SSD Storage Drives (M)! My PC used to boot & shut down fast but now am experiencing all kinds of Start Up issues! Do you think IfvI attempt to migrate the two Reserved Drives (K) & (L) to my new M.2 2TB (C) Drive my PC will once again will Start Up & Shut Down fast with no issues again?
I have this same problem, did a system reset and wanted to see how windows would do on my HDD but its dog water. I just want to go back to the OS running off the SSD and using the HDD for the rest of my things.
Just bought a used PC off Ebay that has two SSDs with the system partition on the disk that I want to remove so these instructions should help me move it.
Ok so after reboot it says healthy recovery partition but doesn't say active like yours does.. And wont let me click to active. just says help when i right click. After converting mbr2GPT said conversion completed successfully Call WinReReapir to repair WinRE MBR2GPT: Failed to update ReAgent.xml, please try to manually disable and enable WinRE. MBR2GPT: Before the new system can boot properly you need to switch the firmware to boot to UEFI mode! Im scared to reboot because im afraid it wont boot back up please someone help me lol.
HELP PLEASE! When I try to restart my computer (after I have done all the steps until 8:50) my PC won't boot into windows. It says "An operating system was not found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system. Press ctrl+alt+del to restart." I entered the boot menu and selected the disk that contains newly made partition (like you have shown in the video), but it won't work. So, now It seems like none of the drives are bootable or contain Windows OS. Please help me.
FIXED. I have found a fix. Huge thanks to @ashanserasinghe6043 in the comments for this idea. I have downloaded a Windows Media Creatikn tool on the other pc i have at home on a USB stick, so that I can boot into Windows that is on the USB. Using this USB i DID NOT install fresh windows, but opened a CMD and then activated the partition that I had deactivated during this youtibe tutorial, and the one I had activated, I then disactivated. I then turned off my pc and after piwering it on j have entered a boot menu and booted from the disk that windows is located at.
8:54 I followed all your instructions carefully , now my pc is not turning on ! edit: fixed the issue by changing bios settings btw thanks for this video

I was using a GPT formatted disk for this issue and with a bit of help from chatgpt I got it working. The disk on its own is not said as Primary Partition instead Basic Data Partition and the new 1 GB of space you create will be called data partition and you also can not set it to active. You also don't have to disable the other disks system partition just unplug it at the next restart so the system doesn't even search it. When you list the partitions in DISKPART you will get the Type correctly listing system instead of Primary like in the video. The partitions Type is different on GPT so instead of 27 FOR ME it was EFI System partition: c12a7328-f81f-11d2-ba4b-00a0c93ec93b (that's the ID you need). It may wary so you can enter the HELP SET command and it lists everything you need. I'm not a pro so this may not be correct information for everyone, make sure to check online for more guides if you're unsure.

Finally! I tried other third-party stuff like EaseUS and Aomei and found them extremely cumbersome and cluttered. This right here solved my System Reserve Partition move problem. I didn't even follow the steps for changing recovery drive since it is already in my preferred disk. I just followed the changing of system reserved and it worked flawlessly. Thank you very much!
Hey which part is the system reserved part? my recovery is already in the right place but i dont know where to go from with the system partition
@@theapplecanfly there's the cmd command stuff in this video where the boot files are generated on your new drive. it was before the recovery drive stuff.
@@MrSiloterio okay so i made the new boot files in the place, so now i ingore the recovery stuff and deactive the old one?
@@theapplecanfly make sure to mark the old system reserved drive as inactive FIRST before deleting! if your system is able to boot with the old system reserved drive inactive, then that means your PC is now booting through the new drive. Then you can delete the old system reserved partition.
for the recovery stuff, that depends if you want it to be in the same drive as the recovery drive. I just ignored it because my only concern is to move my system reserved partition from my mechanical drive to my SSD.
But the two stuff are not related at all, you can do one or the other without having to do the other.
@@MrSiloterio thank you i wont delete the old one for now but it boots with the new one!
I carefully followed your instructions and after reboot (instruction at 8:55) my computer says restart and select proper boot device.
I had exactly the same issue, my primary SSD had bad sectors and I got a new SSD, to make sure new SSD is healthy, I connected it to the PC and ran few checks. After that I reinstalled OS on the new SSD and after few hours I realised the mess i was in… I checked in RUclips and after going through few unrelated issues landed on this link…. Blindly followed the process and got the issue resolved… thank you for the great tutorial 🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💐
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
America is not the best country in the world.
They don't even have a direct democracy.
To call a country with practically only two parties a democracy is almost going too far.
And mostly only the rich can afford universities there.
And you're not freer in America either. Anything to do with alcohol or sex is only allowed very late in life.
The only thing that is freer in America than in other countries is that practically everyone can get a gun.
And again, I see that as a disadvantage.
So I'm very happy to be here in Switzerland.
And America now seems so unsafe to me that I wouldn't even go there as a tourist.
Nowhere are there more gun deaths and shootings than in America.
Thank you! Short, sweet, understandable. Solved my problem!
Glad it helped!
Hello Army! It seem that somhow after I installed a new 2TB M.2 Card then installed a New Win 10 Pro a System Reserved Drive (K) & (L) have appeared on one of three of my SSD Storage Drives (M)! My PC used to boot & shut down fast but now am experiencing all kinds of Start Up issues! Do you think IfvI attempt to migrate the two Reserved Drives (K) & (L) to my new M.2 2TB (C) Drive my PC will once again will Start Up & Shut Down fast with no issues again?
Thankyou sir i love it your method❤️love from india🌎✨
I have this same problem, did a system reset and wanted to see how windows would do on my HDD but its dog water. I just want to go back to the OS running off the SSD and using the HDD for the rest of my things.
Just bought a used PC off Ebay that has two SSDs with the system partition on the disk that I want to remove so these instructions should help me move it.
I get this in the cmd BFSVC Error: Could not open the BCD template store. Status = [c000000f]
Ok so after reboot it says healthy recovery partition but doesn't say active like yours does.. And wont let me click to active. just says help when i right click. After converting mbr2GPT said conversion completed successfully
Call WinReReapir to repair WinRE
MBR2GPT: Failed to update ReAgent.xml, please try to manually disable and enable WinRE.
MBR2GPT: Before the new system can boot properly you need to switch the firmware to boot to UEFI mode! Im scared to reboot because im afraid it wont boot back up please someone help me lol.

HELP PLEASE! When I try to restart my computer (after I have done all the steps until 8:50) my PC won't boot into windows. It says "An operating system was not found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system. Press ctrl+alt+del to restart." I entered the boot menu and selected the disk that contains newly made partition (like you have shown in the video), but it won't work. So, now It seems like none of the drives are bootable or contain Windows OS. Please help me.
FIXED. I have found a fix. Huge thanks to @ashanserasinghe6043 in the comments for this idea. I have downloaded a Windows Media Creatikn tool on the other pc i have at home on a USB stick, so that I can boot into Windows that is on the USB. Using this USB i DID NOT install fresh windows, but opened a CMD and then activated the partition that I had deactivated during this youtibe tutorial, and the one I had activated, I then disactivated. I then turned off my pc and after piwering it on j have entered a boot menu and booted from the disk that windows is located at.
For some reason, I cannot make the new partition active (I already made the others inactive).
Still in the process of completing these steps but I think it will solve my problem
My pc turned off and now it asking for reboot device
The disk is not a fixed MBR DISK :( error
its not working for me - if i disable the system reserved then i cannot boot
And if I have GPT instead of old MBR?
What if I don't have a system reserved partition?
8:54 I followed all your instructions carefully , now my pc is not turning on !
edit: fixed the issue by changing bios settings
btw thanks for this video
Glad it helped
yeah, what did you change? @foxfold
I have my boot partition on the old disk and system in the new? This works with that too? I want my OS to be running and booting on my new disk (HDD to m.2 ssd)
Yes
Hello, I followed the steps mentionedin the video. Now my PC doesn't boot and takes me to BIOS instead. Can you please help me on this one?
