Macrium Reflect showing full partition


itsme1 said:
I know, but I use Hasleo Backup Suite. I can resize partitions *and* move the 16MB MSR partition(left or right into unallocated space). That saves me from having to use partition managers that might cause issues.

DiskGenius is good, and I haven't had any errors with it, but you can't move the MSR partition. You would have to delete it, expand the EFI partition, leave 16MB of unallocated space, and then recreate the MSR partition using diskpart.

Just to clarify for the OP. MRP refers to the 16 MB Microsoft Reserved Partition and is nothing to do with the Recovery Partition. It is tiny and I see no advantage in moving it.

You have to move it to enlarge the EFI partition!

I create unallocated space at the beginning of the C: partition, slide the MSR partition to the right, and enlarge the EFI partition.

After much deliberation I uploaded a screenshot to ChatGPT with a briefing to enlarge recovery partition and just followed instructions using command prompt/diskpart, didn't take long. I'll do EFI partition another day, not so bothered about that. Thanks for all the input.(y)
