Hello, initially I installed Windows 7 on an ADATA 128GB SSD. When space was low, I cloned it to a Samsung 250GB SSD. I’m unsure why I kept the OS on the ADATA and moved games there instead. Now I need to clone the OS back to the ADATA, but there’s a System Reserved partition still present. Is this the original System Reserved from the first clone? On the Samsung drive, there’s a Data partition of 100MB similar to the System Reserved. Could I remove the System Reserved and then clone the Samsung back to the ADATA? Your partition manager snapshot shows Disk 1 as the Samsung drive and Disk 2 as the ADATA drive. Please let me know if this is too confusing—I’ll do my best to clarify. Thank you for your help!
