Solved A quick question

[harry5]

I did a clean install 2 days ago and everything working fine the question is before I reinstalled,the disk fragmenter showed C partition and below that it showed reserved 100mb now it only shows C partition is this OK or not

Does the 100MB partition not show up in Disk Management either?

Hello harry5;

There should be no problem there. The 100MB "System Reserved" partition has some advantages, but it is not a necessity. When in place, it provides a separate boot partition, holds the boot code, and provides the same repair utilities as the "System Repair" CD. When there is no 100MB partition, the boot files just get placed, at least in your situation, in the Windows 7 partition.
