Windows 7 System reserved

I have just noticed that one of my 512GB SSD is being used as the system reserved partition, what's the best way to move this over to my ( C: ) drive so i can have my SSD back?

Cheers

The whole drive, or a very small portion of it? usually around 100MB?

It is 100MB yeah, but i don't have access to the rest of the drive.

Don't move it. This is where all the Windows boot files are kept. Mess around with it and you could end up not being able to boot into Windows.

But if it was from a previous install and the drive was not connected during the new installation, then you can delete the partition in disk management.

It was there before i installed windows 7. Unless i re format and then delete the partition, have i lost the drive?

Was the SSD connected up to the PC during installation?
