ok so a post over here at this place explains as to why disk management is not showing my reserved its not visible on a clean install of win 8.1 it seams the system hides it, and that you can only see it with diskpart. here is the article

Yes, it's hidden, there is a trick to hide partition so even 3rd part software won't see it.
you can read about this in link I gave in my previous post.

If you go into BIOS and change setting there from "secure boot" to "legacy mode", does that prevent you from booting the system?
If you change these settings windows should not be able to boot up. there you should see an error such as "no bootable device"
however switching the setting back from "legacy mode" to "secure boot" should start booting windows up.

Can you confirm this?

no as i turned of secure boot a while ago and returned it on to see if it would work nether made a difference at all. i have a image of my bios i will post here, as i have click bios 2 from MSI and i can see my bios from windows brb in a second.

Here is the live pictures of my MSI bios, as you can see secure boot is on and active.

I don't need to see it but is nice to now that its there and i did nothing wrong

You have cool BIOS interface
I wonder what does the Boot mode select [LEGACY+UEFI] does?
what other options are available?

Yes, obviously there needs to be some registry hack or something

Yes its a nifty Bios i'm Not sure what all it does but other options are Legacy and plain old UEFI its auto default is Legacy+UEFI i think it makes it so you can boot up disk that are not UEFI based as i have done this i have opened boot manager on boot up and loaded a disk that was not UEFI and it works. but according to MSI this setting should not mess with secure boot at all. so i'm not sure i guess i live with it. i was reading my manual and its suppose to support secure bot like this as to why it does not is wired.

in order to boot legacy mode secureboot has to be disabled..

secureboot is a uefi feature and the fact you have legacy support enabled, may be the reason for secureboot not being active in windows..

switch boot mode to UEFI only and see what happenings in windows info..

Most people have UEFI+legacy support enabled and secureboot disabled, just for the reason you stated - to be able to boot legacy disks..

OH ok that explains it so should i just disable secure boot as i like being able to boot up my usb drives on occasion as i have it on in bios but is not doing nothing?.
