Hello Jerome92

FYI, You cannot optimize the system reserved partition in 8.1. That's the one with the long pathname. So, I don't see anything hanging from your screenshot, so I would just go in and uncheck it from you routine defrag schedule and that should take care of your issue. You can also verify the functionality of that partition by trying to create a recovery drive and, if it works, the only thing you are left with is a funny name. However, if you are really disturbed by having the pathname (instead of System Reserved), you can probably rename it and that should take care of your entire issue. Good luck.

The "Flag" icon simply means it is your system drive, and he's right about the other partition that looks like it is a mapped network HD.

This is the second time I have seen that kind of identifier on a drive. Any idea what causes this?

Personally, I have no idea what causes this but I can only say it happens from time-to-time and its just a naming thing most times.

Sounds like many of you would prefer to have the correct name. If so, just rename it. In fact, you can rename it anything you like and it will still function properly because "windows knows" the location of the recovery partition, so just follow the yellow brick road...
