I recently removed my ubuntu installation because I didn't want to go through GRUB every time I turned on my PC. That worked fine. Now in file explorer I have a 100MB partition. I know that this partition is the system reserved one because in drive management it shows the system reserved partition under drive letter e:

How can I hide the drive? I don't want to mess up my windows installation. I tried removing the drive letter but windows says I can't change drive letter on the current boot or pagefile drive.

OS : Windows 8.1 Update 1

  • @Steven I didn't want to have to select the Windows option in the GRUB bootlader. I know that I could change the default option but this is the only computer I have so I didn't want to mess anything up.

Fixed the issue myself. I had a program called MiniTool Partition Wizard which is what I used to remove Ubuntu and rebuild the MBR. I used that and removed the drive letter from the system reserved partition and it worked like a charm.

--------------------------------------------------HOW I DID IT -------------------------------------------------------------- Using MiniTool Partition Wizard 9,

  • Click On Partition
  • On the left side options list, there is an option called change drive letter. Click on that and set the drive letter to none.

Problem Solved

This can be done in the Disk management tool, by clicking on Change Drive Letter and Paths and then Remove.

See also Change, add, or remove a drive letter.
