There is small trick to do this. Open registry by going in start menu then run and then enter REGEDIT.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem. In right pane, Add one more key by the name “NtfsMftZoneReservation” with the REG_DWORD value of 2. DWORD value of 1 is interpreted as 12.5%, 2 as 25% and so on…..
