Background Information
Windows 7 non-OEM DVD Installation
When installing Windows 7 from a non-OEM DVD,
the default partition layout will look like the
following:
A special
‘System Restricted’ partition 100
MB in size
The Regular OS partition follows
In order to create a bootable clone, it is necessary
to keep the ‘System Restricted’ partition the same
size as what is on the Master drive. Resizing ‘C:’
(OS partition) works well.
Regular ‘C:’
100Mb
Rest of

The ‘system restricted’ partition contains the
Windows 7
bootloader and it knows about ‘c:’
seemingly by an absolute offset, therefore it is
necessary to keep the starting location of ‘C:’ within
the drive the same. The same reasoning goes for
the other scenarios above; this is why we always
keep the starting offset of ‘C:’ the same as the
master drive.
