    1. The 100MB partition you can see in Disk Management and also in Macrium.

    2. Thinking of it, if you have not unselected the 100MB partition during the imaging, there are chances you might even have an image of it. Double click on the image file and see whether that 100MB partition was imaged by chance. You would see 2 files which you can mount. And if it is there, you only need to create a 100 or even a bit bigger (like 200MB) partition on your disk and then you can restore it into there.

    3. But if nothing else, your idea of making a quick install of Win7 and then dump the image of C into that new C partition will work too. That reinstallation will automatically create a new 100MB partition.

    I may have missed someting in one of the posts....but
    If you prepare your new HDD using Partition Wizard and you want to keep a system reserved then:
    1) make an active primary partition of ~200MB (better than 100MB for good reasons) for the System reserved.
    2) create a second primary partition (NOT active) for the OS.
    3) with Macrium pe restore drag your images into the new HDD.

    If you don't have the and image of the system reserved then that's ok because it can be created. The easy way to try first is to run the System Repair function a few times by booting into a System Repair disk.
    If this causes problem then run from the boot disk command prompt:
    >bootrec /fixmbr
    >bootrec /fixboot
    >bootrec /rebuildbcd
    >exit

    then reboot

    It is fixed. All that was required was to Fix the MBR for Windows within WindowsPE (Macrium Boot CD). And the 100 MB boot partition was created and Windows booted successfully. No Data Lost.

    I don't think you get the choice lala. It will install whatever is right for your system. I have 64bit and that is what it installed.

    What advantage would you expect from a 32bit version.
