Win 7 clean install

I'd like to have the 100 MB system reserved partition on my new installation. I see on the Clean Install tutorial that it will be installed by default if the whole disk is wiped.

I have an E: partition now that I want to remain intact. Does that rule out the possiblity of getting the System Reserved partition on the new install?
If so, can I get it to re-use the existing System Reserved partition?

Thanks

It seems like you are confusing the 100 MB partition which boots your computer with the Partition that you can restore your system to the way it was when it came out of the box. They are two different things.

I know the difference there.
Where I seem to be mistaken was in believing that the 100MB partition is necessary in order to have the Repair My Computer option in the F8 Advanced Boot options menu.
