Can I delete "System Reserved" Partition while installing Windows 7 Ultimate?
Hi,
I'm re-installing Windows 7 Ultimate on a Dell Vostro 3500 laptop. I wonder if I need that 100 MB "System Reserved" partition. I'm at the install screen where I see my primary partition (C:) and this 100 MB partition.
I've formatted both partitions (already made backups of C:) but I'm not sure if I can delete this "System Reserved" partition or leave it there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

but if the System Reserved partition is created new, you should not delete it?

I didn't try deleting the partition because the laptop came with that partition. May be, I'll deleting it next time and see what happens.
Good to know that I can delete it without any issues.
Thanks again, everyone.

Hope you are fine?
The asker has already formatted the disk. I think this is the new System Reserved partition.
