system partition

Hi Guys,

 

I've successfully backed up my C: drive and system partition from my original HDD and restored to an SSD.  It all works fine.

 

I just have a couple of anomalies that maybe someone here knows about.  Possibly it's the same problem for both:

 

1) When I reconnect the old C: drive, the system partition is still there (the 100MB system partition), but I'm unable to delete it.  When I use Win7's Disk Management tool, it doesn't give me an option to delete the partition.  However, when I right click on the new 100MB system partition, I get the option to delete it.

 

2) When I look at the properties for the old 100MB partition, it shows "System, Active, Primary Partition", but the new 100MB system partition shows "Active, Primarity Partition". 

 

I suspect this difference in status is why I can delete the actual partition I'm using, and why I can't delete the one I'm not using.  But I don't see how to make the change.  Anyone know what's up with this?

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

 

PS:  The SSD rocks.  It's totally worth the cost and effort to get it going.
