    Format the hard drive before you install windows on it and it wont create the 100mb partition.

    Its not safe to delete it if its already there because it contains your bootmanager. You can delete it and expand the main partition but windows will not boot. To make it boot again you have to run the recovery disc boot repair and it will install the bootmanager to the main partition.

    EDIT:Oh and yeah daz's loader is the best around at the moment.

    Windows 7 always hides that partition by default for me, and most other people as well. You might be able to use the Disk Manager to remove the drive letter, and then you won't see it again.
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...
