"System Reserved" in My Computer?

[de8212]

Just finished a new Sandy Bridge build. All of a sudden a System Reserved partition shows up in My Computer.

Now, i've read some about it and I saw some links to avoid it when Windows is installed but it's a little too late for that.

Is there a simple fix to just hide it? I think I've read it can even be deleted if RAID isn't planned (and it's not).

The other strange thing is it didn't appear immediately after the windows install. It happened sometime after I connected my 3 other hard drives.

Windows 7 sometimes does this prior to install. It's probably tiny and you can ignore it.

It's a 100MB partition that you can just remove the drive letter by right clicking My Computer -> Manage -> Disk Management -> Right click the partitiion and Change Drive Letter and Paths. No need to delete it, it's for recovering Windows if you fail to boot. Removing the drive letter will remove it from My Computer.

Perfect. Thanks.
