MDT – What is BDEDrive? [Revised]

Updating this article that was written dealing with the extra partition that MDT creates when you deploy your Operating System.

[Update]

If you forgot to add the DoNotCreateExtraPartition within your CustomSettings.ini file and you want to delete the partition and extend your primary partition following these steps:

Open your command prompt and type in the following: bcdboot c:\windows /s c:

 

Once that has successfully completed you will need to make your primary partition Active. So right-click on your C drive partition and set it as Active. Reboot the machine and go back into the Computer Management console and right-click on the BDEdrive and delete it. Now, right-click on the C: drive partition – you should be able to extend the partition now.
