200 MB Hidden system partition

On reading the above post I decided to dig a bit deeper as I could not explain why Windows seven sometimes makes a 200 mb Hidden System Partition. This is what I found;

How to Avoid 200MB Hidden System Partition From Been Created During Windows 7 Installation » My Digital Life

Thanks pooch. I never had this problem, although I format my partitions before installing.

Thanks Pooch,

Basically confirms what I thought, always a good thing to have things confirmed when you tend to pass on information to others

Hey why you thanking me for, unless my name is now pooch

HAHAHA you saw the error of your ways

Thanks Pooch!

Don't know what you mean

LMAO, Mark, what do you mean?

Your name's not pooch, Mark. It's Ever Ready Eddie!

Hi,

Not sure how Winre can only take up 32mb - look at how big it is in the Recovery folder.

The 200mb Partition is for storing the boot-loader, start-up recovery and system restore points.. I think its a good idea to let WIn7 keep it on a separate partition so it doesn't get affected by problems affecting the main OS partition

I agree with you on this. My problem is why it doesn't always happen or at least why you do not get the option during install
