I have done a clean install of windows on a machine with two fresh disks. By default, it put the System Reserved Partition (~100mb) on the machine's 2nd drive.
I don't want this, as I don't want to have to clone 2 disks to ensure that my system is backed up, and I intended to use the separate disk for a SQL server install, so ideally I want that entire disk dedicated to that.
What are the benefits of this type of set up e.g. where the system partition is on a separate disk? Can I assume this default install behavior be different if I had unmounted the 2nd disk first?
Can I safely (and easily) move this partition without installing a bunch of extra software to handle it and without any other negative consequences? I don't want to do the windows install over again, as I've spend a few days installing software, etc. and I'd rather not repeat that.
