All you have to do is to set disk 0 as your first boot option.
D: isn't set as active (as it should be).

If you have a MiniTool or AOMEI Partition use it instead or Windows disk manager.

You have two recovery partitions. To find out witch one is in use, open a CMD window as administrator and type:
Reagentc /info

Why do you have a drive letter assigned to the System Reserved partition?

I don't know why I have a drive letter for the System Reserved partition. How do I remove it?
Please describe my two recovery partitions. I don't think this is normal? If not, how do I fix it?

Thank you.....

The drive letter for the System Reserved partition can be removed under Disk manager (C:\Windows\System32\diskmgmt.msc). Right click on the System Reserved partition, and select change drive letter. Choose none.

Windows can create a bigger Recovery partition and the last remains useless.

Probably a dumb question but - do I delete the one that is NOT in use? I'm asking because I don't know what a Recovery Partition is and how is it used. Thank you......

The Recovery Partition is created when there is a Major Upgrade to Windows
If the Upgrade doesn't go well, you can revert back to the previous Windows version with information in this partition.
It is also used if you have issues booting your computer to help troubleshoot. Both of these scenarios are accessed through the Troubleshooting menu.
Most Recovery Partitions are just a few hundred MB's so less then 1GB and you will hardly gain any space back if you delete it. So, it's best if you just leave it alone, it shouldn't affect you one way or the other.

The recovery environment has a WinPE so you can do some maintenance and fixes if you're unable to boot.

Normally the recovery partition is on the right side of the C: partition.
Instead of just deleting the old recovery partition you can delete and merge the space to the active recovery partition.
Did you run Reagentc /info?

Haven't run it yet - haven't been well. Hope to run it soon.Thanks.

Or you can leave both very small Recovery Partitions alone, they don't take up much space and won't affect you one way or the other

Seem to be having difficulty sending this file to you. It was supposed to be inserted inline.

I just ran it and received no results. Do I have to run it as an administrator? I right clicked the bottom left "window" and clicked on run. Then I inserted the command and ran it. Help?

I hate to have junk on my PC whether or not it's null. How do I identify which one is not used and merge the space together with the other system reserved after I delete the contents of the unused file? Thank you.

Your recovery is disabled.

If you want to enable, open a CMD window as administrator and type:
Reagentc /enable

then to find witch one is in use
Reagentc /info

This is how you should post an image on the forum
