dcs18 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Does Optical drives and mounted drives also be considered as one of the partition?Thankfully no - to the best of my knowledge (based on observation - not documented facts.) :think:Can the System Reserved be removed without any formatting required?I really need atleast 4 HDD partitions.Yes, there's a dirty method to do that.

dcs18 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Would love to know the method. :)Have never had the occasion to have to do it - check out the 6th post by gregrocker (before following up, on his advice - I'd commit a backup of the system volume if I were you.) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. I had no idea that the System Reserve contains the boot files. All I thought was that it was somehow connected to one of the features (bitlocker or something).So, have you tried it yourself? Cause I remember you posting a tutorial on it a long time ago. I personally can't backup due to lack of sufficient space, can only backup a few things on the DVDs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 So, have you tried it yourself? Cause I remember you posting a tutorial on it a long time ago.Nope, never had the cause for it - I pre-format the partitions (this effectively prevents the 100 MB partition and is the most convenient and surefire method.) :)I personally can't backup due to lack of sufficient space, can only backup a few things on the DVDs...In case you decide to go ahead with it, I hope you can arrange for an external HDD for a temporal period - it's just required for a couple of hours (in case something mucks up your attempt at being rid of unwanted partition(s.) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have got no one like that.And HDD prices (still) so high, it's impossible to get even a normal HDD for backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 @dcs18 is it possible to keep the ribbon with your theme? nice theme on your desktop :rolleyes: :thumbsup:Thanks for the compliment, bro.Actually, there are just 2 components left; that do not allow skinning - the ribbon and the Office 2013 interface (have not had the opportunity to try this on Office 2010.)I love the ribbon (despite the fact that it's got a serious bug for SysAdmins) and hope it gets conquered, soon - have left it disabled for the time being. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 @dcs18, the hybrid idea isn't that good. With red skinning, red icons will make it look like "from the factory". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
