I have been having disk problems lately and noticed in Windows Disk Management that all of my drives (3 HDD and 1 RAMDisk) are shown as Healthy (Active, Primary Partition). My C: drive shows as Healthy (System, Boot, Page File, Active, Crash Dump, Primary Partition). I do not have the extra, what 100MB hidden partition that most new installs would have.
I use Easy BCD not for dual-booting, but rather so my boot menu contains not only Windows 7 but also selections for Acronis True Image and Puppy Linux (iso files). The ATI.iso is on my D: drive (totally separate hard drive).
When I read about Active partitions I find that "[only] the partition that you boot from should be Active" so I don't know why the D:, E:, and R:RAMDisk drives should be Active, though D: does have ATI.iso which could be needed at boot if I select that.
Anyway does anyone here know: should only C: be Active? Or C: and D: because of EasyBCD boot menu? Is it OK that they all are Active?
