I think we have to accept that Microsoft will not be able to fix this for an existing installation unless they (a) automate a partition shuffle and I think that is two dangerous because of all the unknown variables.If you use backup software, you might be like others who complain at how complex it is to use.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12511241055892309746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820634272434787526.post-12261717292323473702013-11-23T14:09:33.462-07:002013-11-23T14:09:33.462-07:00Nice work, Mick.

My primary drive has 6 GPT partitions; a Data, an EFI system, a Restore, and 3 Recovery. And if that is not enough of a headache, there is a SSD drive with 2 more GPT partitions, no listed type. I'll guess its connected in some way.<br />I wonder if Lenovo will get it sorted out. :( But I appreciate you post, which lets me know what I am up against.
