I stumbled across this tip on how to avoid the creation of the 100mb hidden partition during a clean build of windows 7... and thought I would share it, if it hasnt been already...

I just dont like having partitions that dont need to be there...

An applicaiton I was using made this visible in my OS, and I didnt want it.. no other reason than that really.. couldnt see the point of having it if you dont need it....

I don't use the partition either BUT that isn't the point, you will eventually make use of it.

Youre not losing it, just putting the files from this partition in with the OS files, as like with every version ov windows in the past.... which has not created this partiton...
