Hi Folks
During the installation of Windows 7 RC1 (during the disk partitioning phase) the following message is shows
"to ensure that all windows features work correctly, windows may create additional partitions for system files"
On my test 150GB drive it creates a 100MB system partition with 86MB Free.
I have looked around the web to see what this area is actually for and I have found conflicting information:
Answer 1: "......... it is reserved for EFI boot and BitLocker."
Answer 2: "......... holds Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)"
Does anyone have a link to a Microsoft document that gives a definitive answer?
Cheers
