#WINDOWS CREATE BOOT PARTITION INSTALL#
Or you may just be unsure which is the System partition with the bootmanager files on it and which is the Boot partition that a Windows install is running from.
It is not always obvious if a machine is employing separate System and Boot partitions. It is important to understand that a Boot partition that relies on a System partition will not have its own bootmanager, hence Windows installs on separate Boot partitions are not independently bootable. If the bootmanager and Windows are on different partitions then we will have separate System and Boot partitions. If the bootmanager and the booted Windows are on the same partition then that partition will be labeled as both the System and Boot partition. The partition with the bootmanager on it will be called the System partition and the partition with the install of Windows that the bootmanager has booted will be called the Boot partition. Further installs of Windows would not get their own bootmanager but be configured to use the existing bootmanager. Up to and including Windows Vista it was the default that the first operating system installed on a computer would have the bootmanager inside of it. This bootmanager can reside inside Windows on the same partition, or it can be on another partition that may or may not have another install of Windows on it. From WinNT in the mid 1990s to Windows-8 there has been a bootmanager built-in to Windows that can be configured for dual or multibooting.
