Windows 10: What is this "127.0.0.1 12754 #Samsung Analytics" line on my windows host file?

I got an AhnLab report saying my windows host file has been modified so I checked to find a "127.0.0.1 12754 #Samsung Analytics" line that I never added before. I compared it with the default file online and none of them mentioned anything about it so I'm wondering if I should worry or not. I changed it to default just in case at the moment. Does anyone know what that line is?I have this extra line below as shown.# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself. # 127.0.0.1 localhost # ::1 localhost 127.0.0.1 12754 #Samsung Analytics

Any way to reassign a drive in the line up? Used to be #0

So here is the scenario....

My new rig has given me hell since I got it from hardware issues to software issues... most of it's all cleared up now so I'm thankful for that and many thanks to all the nice folks here for your help in getting there. *Smile

Now the rig came with a 16 mb M.2 SSD that's mounted directly onto the motherboard. It's position in the drive line up was #0. Now I've replaced it with a 1 Terabyte M.2 drive but it's now listed as drive #4. I'd like to get it returned to being drive #0. Is there a way to go about doing that?

I have purchased the software to move my Windows 10 installation over to it and like most of my past installations Windows was always on drive #0 so getting this last bit fixed, if there is a fix, is the final step until the big Migration.

Thanks so much
Richard

System Reserved Partition on Disk 1 not Disk 0

The results were the same as before: Windows is installed in a single 477 GB partition on Disk 0 and the System Reserved is in a 500 MB partition on Drive 1. The rest of Drive 1 is unallocated. This is identical to the configuration I had when I asked the
question.

The Media Creation Tool used to created the install ISO DVD is v. 10.0.14393 downloaded on 12/13/2016.

I followed your instructions:

• I selected Drive 0 and deleted the existing Windows partition.
• I clicked New and Apply. Windows then formatted Drive 0 as a single primary partition.
• The existing System Reserved partition was still on Drive 1.
• So I deleted the System Reserved partition on Drive 1 and the just created Primary partition on Drive 0
• I then selected Drive 0 and clicked New and Apply again. Same result a single Primary partition on Drive 0. Drive 1 was left unallocated.
• Upon completion of the install
  • Windows occupies about 15 GB in the only partition on Drive 0
  • The 500 MB System Reserved partition was placed on Drive 1
  • The rest of Drive 1 is unallocated.

How can I get the System Reserved partition to be placed as the Partition 1 on Drive 0 with Windows installed in Partition 2?

Thanks.
