as the system reserved area, resolving the issue of it being placed in an undesirable disk location. I think these steps should address your concern: - Verify the disk type is MBR and not GPT - Ensure no additional primary partitions are allowed (either four or three primary plus one extended). - Install Windows. Hope this assists you. I captured some images during the process, but they might not be as useful as they seem.

I set up and removed partitions exactly as you outlined earlier. This approach didn’t produce the outcome I expected, yet it functioned correctly. During partition creation and deletion, I encountered the maximum limit for an MBR disk with three extended partitions. This limitation prevents Windows from establishing a dedicated system reserved partition. Consequently, when Windows cannot create the required reserved partition, it defaults to using the main partition (C as the system reserved area, resolving the issue of it being placed in an undesirable disk location.
