Why do I have a D drive listed as System Reserve, 60.6mb free of 99.9mb?
My second HD is listed as E drive.
Does that D drive have something to do with the SSD?
I did not have that when I was using my WD 640g HD as my primary

thanks
Hitch

This is most likely the system boot partition. This used to be on the C:\ with Windows, but if you managed to get your Windows install screwed up, it could corrupt the system boot files. So NT 6.0 separates it into another partition that can't normally be accessed to prevent this.

So it's normal and you need this.

I'm running windows 7 64 bit, would that happen with win 7?

Yes, I meant to say NT 6.0 and above. NT 6.0 is Vista.
