    Hello harry5;

    There should be no problem there. The 100MB "System Reserved" partition has some advantages, but it is not a necessity. When in place, it provides a separate boot partition, holds the boot code, and provides the same repair utilities as the "System Repair" CD. When there is no 100MB partition, the boot files just get placed, at least in your situation, in the Windows 7 partition.
