    If your original (donor) computer had Windows 7 installed and it created this partition, and you try to restore the image to a computer without the partition, you will most certainly have problems since Windows will be looking for this partition.
    Depends - if you use setup to push your WIM down to the computer, it will recreate it and the bootsector. If you're just using imagex to push the WIM down, then it might not go so well without some custom scripting.
    Based on the OP's posts, I'm guessing it's a straight image, which would account for the error he's getting.

    This is what SysPrep is for.

    Create your master install, SysPrep it, then backup the image:

    Well I didn't make these mistakes.
    I don't know why this is even being discussed.

    As for the 100mb partition see:

    What's on that 100MB partition? Can I delete it?

    I don't have one because I didn't ask Windows 7 to create one.
    I know how to (not) do this.
    End of story.

    One more time. Possibly I can explain better.

    Someone said "You will need to sign in, with your business account".

    I've looked all over at the top of the 1st page of this forum.
    I found nothing about a sevenforums business account.

    I've googled for "sevenforums business account". There were no hits.

    I don't know what was meant by this post.
