How to avoid a 200MB partition on your Windows 7 computer

Since I installed Windows 7 I have this weird 200MB partition. Today I found out why this is. I read the article ‘How to Avoid 200MB Hidden System Partition From Been Created During Windows 7 Installation’ which explains perfectly the reason.

This 200MB partition bothers me because it’s preventing me from upgrading from build 7000 to 7048. After an hour installing it prompts an error and rolls back the installation.

I installed build 7048 on my work laptop (Dell D830) this week and I didn’t get this. I think MS changed this.

It probably wasn't created because there was already a partition on the D830. I you create a partition and tell Windows 7/Server 2008 to use that partition it will not create an additional 200mb partition.

I am also having the same problem with Win 7 which stops at 81%. Found in the Event Viewer / System : Metadata initial read: Primary metadata record on volume Z: could not be found. Volume needs recovery.Very strange. Seems like the restore process cannot mount the Z drive.BTW the backup database is not corrupted since I'm able to restore on a Win XP machine.
