Windows 7 Partition Help

[Jabbed]

Hey,

When installing windows 7, it would not install onto my hard-drive for some strange reason, it said something about MBR and EFI which lead to bootMGR coming up as "missing". However during all this confusion trying to install windows 7 onto my hard drive (clean install) I accidentally deleted the 100mb partition that windows creates and so it left free space

Now that I have windows 7 installed, I cant find the free space nor any evidence of that 100mb partition. (I did go back onto the disk and use the repair my computer option but it said there was no problems) So my question is will this matter? as everything seems to be running fine?

I grabbed this info on the 100mb partition

The 100MB volume is labeled as System Reserved with NTFS file system, and System, Active, Primary partition attribute with no drive letter in Disk Management. The 100MB system reserved partition is only available for Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 7 Business and Windows 7 Enterprise editions. The 100 MB system partition is used primarily as BitLocker partition for BitLocker encryption. Additionally, it also holds the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) and boot files with boot manager for booting up the computer for troubleshooting when there is no Windows 7 installation DVD disc on hand.

If you're worried about it, you can always do a reinstall. Although if everything is running fine and no issues, then I guess you're safe.
