System Reserved. What is it?

[Ahleckz]

I've just reinstalled Windows 7 64bit onto my SSD. However, a 'System Reserved' partition of 100MB has popped up and rapidly filled up and now has 1.05MB free and I keep getting irritating little notifications pop up about the lack of space.

I didn't have this partition on my previous install, so just wondering what it is there for and if I can get rid of it.

Followed those steps, and now I've lost a heap of my files in System32. Including the elevated cmd point. :/

Yea, it caused issues. I'll just try and hide it rather than delete it.

Just reinstalled Windows.

Third time in a few days, never upgraded my storage drives again!
