Windows 7 Hidden Partition
I intend installing Windows 7 Ultimate sometime in the next few weeks onto a new computer. I also intend installing two drives in a raid 0 array.
I have read quite a lot in regards the hidden partition made when installing Windows 7 most dealing with how to work around the issue, but I’m still unsure about the exact detail. For instance most readings state format and partition before or when installing Windows 7, other say to just format. I would rather not have a partitioned main drive, so would it be okay if I just formatted the drives before starting the raid array? Would this stop the installation of the hidden partition?
I would also like to find more information in regards the benefits in installing Windows 7 with the hidden partition; if you have any links that would throw light onto the subject I would be most appreciative.
