Partitions on disk selected for installation of Hyper-V
server 2012

The recommended configuration order includes a Windows RE Tools partition, a system partition, an Microsoft® Reserved partition
(MSR), a Windows partition, and a recovery image partition.
The Microsoft Windows RE Tools partition and system partition before you add the Windows partition. Add the partition that contains the
recovery image at the end. This partition order helps keep the system and the Windows RE Tools partition safe, during actions such as
