Two partitions with boot manager after restore

[klaus114]

Hello,

after restoring my Windows 2016 Server with Veeam Agent I've got two partitions with a boot manager. During the restore process I had to use this command: "bcdboot C:\Windows /s S: /f ALL", as described in https://www.veeam.com/kb2407.

Now I have two partitions with a boot manager. Can I safely delete the partition with the letter E:? Here is an overview with alle drives:

Klaus,

A FAT formatted partition usually indicates the machine is using UEFI to boot; Disk Manager is indicating that this partition is the primary.

Do you have a similar server that you can check the partitions on and see if it's the same as the server in question?

At this point, I would not remove the partition.

I don't have a similar server. The main problem is, that I need the free space before and after the partition in one peace.

Are there any files or folders in the E: drive? If not you can probably delete E: but I would be prepared to restore again.

In case you need more information on the bcdboot command:

I think I will try to move the drive E to the end of the drive by using aomei partition manager.

I moved it, and it worked
