System Reserved 100 Mb
I just noticed that on my install of Win7 RC that I have a partition labeled as "System Reserved 100Mb" (System, Active, Primary partition) on the main HDD. If Win7 install did that, whats the purpose??

Win7 did this. If your drive was empty, during partitioning it says it might add another drive for system recovery utilities and such. That's what this 100MB partition is for.

The boot manager lives there, automatic recovery tools live there, bitlocker when active lives there.

The small partition actually holds Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE), which only available from DVD installation disc in previous versions.
