system working fine just was weird that after a full clean install of
OS and apps it just vanished. A lot easier in the old days with just
FDisk IMO.

I know on install windows creates a 100mb system reserved partition

boot. ( figured out later it was gone )
between diskpart bcdedit and bootrec was able to get it to go (
made the other partition active and rebuilt the BCD ) Have no idea
( or I forgot ) what that partition is for and have no idea why it
went away. Very weird. System seems fine, has no hidden system
reserved partition.
Anyone ever seen this happen ?
No, but the System Reserve Partition doesn't appear to be a critical
partition, as I have removed it before. If you are using Windows
Backup, I would resize this partition to about 400MB (not over
500MB) as this seems to resolve a lot of odd problems that Windows Backup has.
