If FileVault is enabled while your Mac is attempting to download updated integrity information, you're asked to enter a password to unlock the disk. This information is unique to your Mac, and it ensures that your Mac starts up from an OS that is trusted by Apple. If the OS is unknown or can't be verified as legitimate, your Mac connects to Apple to download the updated integrity information it needs to verify the OS. This is a level of security previously available only on iOS devices.ĭuring startup, your Mac verifies the integrity of the operating system (OS) on your startup disk to make sure that it's legitimate.

Like I said that partition without a letter was made during the Windows format/install proces. By that I mean this attribute gets added to a new 100mb/350mb or 500mb system reserved partition (made by Windows Installer depending on the versions 7/8 or 10) when installing Windows on a formatted disk. The only "program" I can think of that does this is the Windows installer.

So I would think there must be SOME software out there to do this? So my first question would be, does anyone know how to do this? Then use the BootRec program to make sure it finds and points to what I hope will now be the OS on the C drive?Ģ) Can I simply delete that entire partition, and put the MBR/BCD on the C drive using the BootRec program? Or can you not put this on the same partition that the OS is on? Are any of these options viable?ġ) Since this is a VM (for Hyper-V) can I just create a new VHD, and move the system partition to that drive, deleting it off the original, and set the NoDefaultDriveLetter attribute on the new VHD. This system partition has the Boot hidden folder and the BCD file in it. I have a follow up question in case the answer to the first question is that there is no way I can do it. Now, somehow my Dell computer was partitioned with only the very first partition having the NoDefaultDriveLetter attribute set. This sounds like, instead of making it work properly, they simply documented that it affects the entire disk. The DiskPart documentation clearly states that even though you are asking it to set the attribute for the volume, that it actually operates at the disk level, and will affect all volumes on the same disk. Now, I tried setting the NoDefaultDriveLetter attribute for volume 2, but it affects ALL partitions on the disk, so NONE of the partitions gets a drive letter. You can see here that it has the NoDefaultDriveLetter attribute set, and that the second and third primary partitions on the drive do NOT have this attribute set: DISKPART> sel vol 2 Notice that Volume 2 (the first primary partition on the drive, which is, I believe, also the Active partition with the MBR information) has NO drive letter assigned. I don't know where the "Info" column values come from. Volume 4 D HP_RECOVERY NTFS Partition 12 GB Healthy Volume 3 C OS NTFS Partition 1384 GB Healthy Boot

Volume 2 SYSTEM NTFS Partition 100 MB Healthy System Volume # Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info This is how diskpart lists the volumes of the original disk: DISKPART> list vol It also has two CDRom drives, shown as the first two volumes. The original drive has three primary partitions. I created an image backup and restored it to a VHD file.
