Tips
When creating a new partition, Windows OS assigns an initial boot
partition of 350 MB.
For example, when making a partition of 40,960 MB (40 GB), usable
space will be 40,960 MB – 350 MB = 40,610 MB.
Free space
System Partition (40,610 MB)
Boot Partition (350 MB)
The boot partition is not recognized from the operating system.

Using BitLocker
If using BitLocker, note the following.
 Be sure to keep the recovery password secure. Do not keep it near a server running
BitLocker.
 To reinstall the operating system into a partition that is encrypted with BitLocker, delete the
BitLocker-encrypted partition prior to reinstallation.
Important
If the recovery password is not entered, the OS cannot be started, and
the content of the partition encrypted by BitLocker cannot be
referenced any more.
The recovery password might be required at startup of the OS after
the following:
− Replacement of motherboard
− Initialization of trusted platform module (TPM)
− Change of BIOS setting
Support for NIC teaming in Windows Server 2012
