Apologies for 'spreading disinformation', I'm far from being alone in noting the installation of the hidden system partition. http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/01/09/how-to-avoid-200mb-hidden-system-partition-from-been-created-during-windows-7-installation/ http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/353-your-win7-install-experience.html http://www.pronetworks.org/forums/windows-7-creates-a-small-system-partition-t104873.html http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vista/803112-windows-7-system-partition.html Can I just point out that I was only trying to help? And that the purpose of the comment was to ensure the OP that the partition wasn't likely to affect his Wubi install. I posted to the best of my understanding of what I'd had observed from my experience installing Windows 7. I apologise if anyone has been offended by my spreading of disinformation. - -- Please consider the environment before printing this email. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMifUkAAoJEMasqlerYGuOJZYH/1agClonV5+4/WMceCe0IB0a ZxI3H8MLeZXV0pk4uTfWRLKSpmQAxcMK9jwVQHIGKZbukdOqGaJ3bNvexJRwwpWg euGd6RoYJXWUwuJjI2vf2/u5nbKde3BOxNuehwoHOjzNl1hgLI2OpnYqOVYkucBz VmZ4jY/X25S2CtMIeFH9icvNIuCPmiq3zr8Qar/90XyFud+4OnW1Z2tBXqkIYg1Z e+H2UPPSqvKr2Fzcbyt/UXA+ZQ2ANuSGsqHwE2cFP5SvvP5pEFHp/laQTeI70t61 p7fP6yEmlA7z60uRzcC1yyLZNpTR0LqwNcy8jJ2prW1qlQyIv1DYvP5aqWvkshg= =r4kh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
