MICROSOFT RESERVED PARTITION
What is a Microsoft Reserved Partition?
A Microsoft Reserved Partition (MRP) is a special type of partition created by Windows on GPT (GUID Partition Table) disks. It is used by Windows for various purposes, such as storing boot information, system recovery data, and other system-critical files.
Why is it Important to Keep the Microsoft Reserved Partition?
The Microsoft Reserved Partition is essential for the proper functioning of Windows. Deleting or modifying it can cause your system to become unbootable or unstable. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you do not delete or re-purpose the MRP unless you are absolutely sure that you know what you are doing.
How to Identify a Microsoft Reserved Partition
MRPs are typically identified by the following characteristics:
- They are usually small, ranging from 100MB to 500MB in size.
- They are formatted with the NTFS file system.
- They have the "msftres" flag set in the partition table.
Can I Delete the Microsoft Reserved Partition?
In most cases, it is not advisable to delete the Microsoft Reserved Partition. However, there may be some rare cases where you may need to do so, such as when you are experiencing severe system issues and have exhausted all other troubleshooting options.
If you are absolutely sure that you need to delete the MRP, you can do so using a disk partitioning tool such as Diskpart or GParted. However, be sure to back up your system before making any changes to your partitions.
