My computer has 2 drives (attached image).

One drive is a SSD with 3 partitions:

At diskmanagement appears as a "basic disk".

In the first partition (A:), I have the "System Reserved". At diskmanagement appears as "Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition)".

In the second partition (C:), I have the Windows 10 (last updated version). At diskmanagement appears as "Healthy (Boot, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)".

The third partition (D:), I use as personal storage. At diskmanagement appears as "Healthy (Primary Partition)".  

The second drive is a HDD. Is physically placed in the DVD slot, so is a removable disk.

At diskmanagement appears as a "basic disk".

It has 6 partitions:

I don't have any other OS, just use the 6 partitions as personal storage.

The first 3 partitions (E:, F:, G:), appear at diskmanagement as "Healthy (Primary Partition)".

The last 3 partitions (H: I:, J:), appear at diskmanagement as "Healthy (Logical Drive)".  

I want to install the "DLC Boot 2017 3.3 Build 170512" (http://dlcboot.com/), as a kind of bootable emergency/rescue disk.

But I don't want it in a USB external pendrive. And considering that my Windows 10 is in my SSD, then the logic is install "DLC" in my HDD.  

Questions:

a) May I install "DLC" in my HDD ("basic" HDD)?

b) May I install "DLC" in my H:, I: or J: partitions (Logical Drives)?

c) Or I must install "DLC" in E:, F: or G: (Primary Partitions)?

d) How do I make any partition to be a bootable disk? How do I install "DLC" in any partition, to be bootable in my HDD?

e) Is it possible to do point "d", without deleting my 6 partitions?... without losing my 6 partitions and the content in each partition?

f) Considering that my HDD is a removable disk, "DLC" will work as a bootable disk in any other computer?  

I will appreciate any help!  

Thank you!

  • Instead of painstakingly describing every last detail, you could’ve just provided a screenshot. ;) // Could you perhaps provide a link to this “DLC” stuff? Without knowing how exactly it works answering your question is not possible.
