How to delete BDEDrive partition

I recently discovered a problem when a user wanted to upgrade from a 128GB SSD to a new Samsung 256GB SSD. First I suggested to clone the existing SSD to the new one with Clonezilla and then just expand the C partion at the new drive to use the whole space at the new SSD. The clone process with Clonezilla worked fine but when I booted up the system at the new SSD drive I found a problem. For some reason the system had a partion named BDEDrive and it was located between my old C partion and the new extra free space like the picture below shows. I needed to delete or move this partion.

First I tried to use a Linux live-cd and gparted to move the BDEDDrive partion but when I moved it and restarted the computer I got “bootmgr is missing”. After some time at Google I found a way so solve this.

• First you need to boot up Windows at the new drive.
• Then open a command prompt at execute the following command: bcdboot c:\windows /s c:
• BEFORE you restart your computer, go do Disk Management in Computer Management at the computer and right click at the C partition and choose “Mark Partition as Active”
• Then restart your computer
• After the reboot, go to Disk Management again and delete the BDEDrive partion
• The expand your existing C partionen as much you want

This is how I solved this problem, probably it works for you too or you got some tips for similar problems.
