Windows 7 and unnamed partitions

[Franicelcha]

Hi

My main drive is partitioned in 2. My C: drive which includes my program files and my windows and drive F: which includes my data (photos, music etc…)

However, when I installed Windows 7, the software created 2 no name partitions. The first is a 100MB partition which I understand to be standard with every Windows installations. There is another one, of 128MB in size also created by Windows 7 at time of installation.

My questions are:

1- When I create an image to restore my Windows 7 system in case of adversity, which partitions do I have to include in the disk image for my system to restore properly ?


• Only C:
• C: + unnamed partition of 100MB
• C: + unnamed partition of 100MB + unnamed partition of 128MB


My second question is:

What are those partitions created by Windows 7 ? As far as I know, I only partitioned my HDD in 2 partitions (drive C: and drive F. So why do I end up with 4 different partitions ?

Thank You

System Reserved. Boot info. Windows creates those automatically.

Yes, for a full image, you need those.

All 3 ?

The 100MB partition, absolutely.
The 128MB partition, unsure.
