Can I delete the system reserved partition from 100MB

Debbie the Support Engineer is only partially correct.  The System Reserved partition stores boot files should the windows installatiion need to be recovered due to system failure of some sort.  It is the more advanced feature comparable to the "System Restore" from Windows XP.  Deleting this partition is possible post WIN 7 installation, but it is for more advanced users as you may run into boot problems.  If you manage to delete this partition, you will a performance boost of possibly up to 30%.  By doing this, you lose the system recovery functionality and you should resort to drive cloning every month or so to back up your system should you find yourself in the middle of a catastrophic failure later down the road.

When you delete this System Reserved partition using a third party tool like Acronis Back Up and Restore, it warns you that your system may not boot afterwards.  Delete the partition, and mark the Boot drive (drive C) as the "active partition".  Then exit the program, and restart the pc with your Windows 7 CD/DVD and select the repair option and run the diagnostic tool to repair the startup process and master boot record.

This procedure did not work for me. When I attempted to copy the data from the old "reserved" to the new one, the copy was incomplete (according to win7 error message) and the "startup repair" did not fix the new one so on my system I still cannot boot without having the disk with the original "reserved" partition connected.  This is a real pain because apparently the disk with "reserved" has developed an error and I would much rather move the "reserved" partition than to do a complete install.  Does Partition Wizard actually move data in a partition that you want to move or just create a partition that is the same size in a different place and delete the old one? How does it get around windows security to do the data move?  Surely there is someone out there who has had the same problem as me and found a better answer than "do a clean install".

Im sure this has been answered by now but JUST IN case. I have the same partitions on my wifes HDD: The clean reinstall partition,  that 102 MB (in my case) system partition and then the C. I want to thank you for your post. I was so shocked by seeing that when I was fixing something else I didnt realize it was saying MB and not GB so I have decided to just leave it as is... its probably for when ever you see the program say you need at least this much room on your hard drive that is way bigger then the program itself. Who knows. Anyways  thanks for posting this. I hope it worked out for you the way you wanted in the end.
