6. Type exit or close the Command Prompt window when you’re done.

Using a process known as rearming, you can extend the

evaluation period up to two or three times, for a total of

120 days. Just execute the slmgr.vbs script with the

-rearm parameter. It will take 15–30 seconds to make the

change, at which point you’ll need to restart Windows.

Prevent extra partitions during setup

When you install Windows 7 (Professional, Ultimate, or Enterprise editions)

on an empty hard disk, setup creates an extra, hidden 100 MB partition. It’s

used for BitLocker drive encryption (see Chapter 8), although BitLocker works

fine without it. It also holds a copy of the Windows Recovery Environment so

you can repair Windows without having to fish out the setup DVD, as descri-

bed in “What to Do When Windows Won’t Start” on page 355.

If you’re installing on a hard disk that already has partitions

with data, if you have the Home Premium edition, or you don’t

mind the extra partition—admittedly, 100 MB isn’t much by

today’s standards—then you can skip these steps.

Since this is space you can never use for your own data, you can use the fol-

lowing procedure to keep this partition from ever being created:

1. On the “Where do you want to install Windows?” page (Figure 1-2) par-

tition screen of Windows 7 Setup, click Drive options (advanced).

Delete any existing partitions (if applicable) and then create a new parti-

tion to fill the drive. See Chapter 5 for more information on partition

management.

2. When Windows warns you, “To ensure that all Windows features work

correctly, Windows might create additional partitions for system files,”

click OK.

3. At this point, you’ll see two partitions:

• Disk 0 Partition 1: System Reserved (System)

• Disk 0 Partition 2 (Primary)

Highlight the Primary partition and then click Delete.

4. Next, select the System Reserved partition and click Extend. Type the

maximum size available for the partition and then click Apply.

5. Again highlight the newly extended System Reserved partition and click

Format.
