Is there a possibility to install windows 7 (clean install) without making a extra (hidden) partition "system reserved" from 100mb?
or how can I delete this partition after install ?
Why is it for?
I have the meaning that this slows down my hard drive a little ?
thanks

Hi Johan G,
Thanks for posting to Getting Ready for Windows 7 .
The 100MB partition is a system partition and contains boot files. Disk Manager will not allow you to remove this partition because removing this partition could cause the system to not boot.

Thanks anyway,
i wil try a install with an different harddisk.
It's only 100MB so just leave it.
If it makes you sleep better, you can remove it. But I don't think that it makes anything better apart from having 100MB more space. And this is nothing compared to cleaning up temporary files from your system once in a while.
