Windows 7: two "Unallocated Space" partitions with 0MB

Hello 7forums!

I noticed in the Windows 7 installation at my partition page.. you know, where you select what disk you want to install Windows on, there were two "Unallocated Space"-partitions on 0MB.. both of them. And they were hanging together with my SDD. When I deleted the Unallocated ones, it said that they were probably needed for Windows, but I didn't really care, I just deleted them. And I also deleted the entire SDD. When I recreated the whole SDD, the unallocated partitions came back. 0MB again! .. So do I need them? They ain't in my Disk Management either in-windows!

DId you try deleting evey last one, and then formating again? I would do that. If it doesn't work, there is no harm in 0mb taken from your main partition

I know that often windows creates extra space for system files, perhaps this is just a messed up way of doing it.

So.. I delete both Unallocated, and leave the main, them format main?

Sorry, im not that of an expert with partitions
But if im going to format again, its pretty good, because im gonna move from 32-bit to 64.
Oh, and thanks for your reply!

You can't delete Unallocated Space of any size. It is already deleted. Just ignore it.

Have you checked the alignment of the SSD?

How did you create the partitons?

How does that look like in Disk Management?

So actually it's just some bug of MS or my SSD?

I'll try that. When I deleted all the partitions, I selected the main, pressed new (in Windows 7 install) and just maxed the number.

Like this!

Well, if we go by Disk Management, those zero partitions are non existant.

True. Maybe we should just ignore them!
I deleted the main, then the unallocated removed totally, but when I re-created the main one, they were back.

I would classify it as a "reporting error".
