    hi sony folks,

    Recently I bought Sony vgn-tt11wn notebook. It came with pre-installed WinVista, with a single partition, except recovery partition. What I did after is that I deleted the recovery partition and installed W7RC without any problems, including for drivers.

    A quick question though. During the W7RC installation process the system automatically created 100mb system partition. No idea what it is, and I don't need to waist that extra 100mb. I also tried to creat 2 extra partitions, which is done. However, in between those two new partitions there is unallocated tiny space (3-10 mb) which I can't get rid off either. These problems haven't occured on my desktop Acer PC. I used build-in disk management tool.

    Can anyone help on this how to resolve?

    many thanks in advance

    I believe that's intended for the BitLocker files, in case you want to encrypt your hard drive. Please confirm if you are using Vista Ultimate.
