Resolve the hidden partition problem after Win7 installation

The hidden partition in Windows 7 means that after installing Windows 7, a 100MB or 200MB hidden partition is generated before the system partition. If you accidentally delete it, the system will not boot. This partition can cause other problems, such as some GHOST backup tools can not run properly, and so on. So, what should I do to avoid hidden partitions?

It is very simple to avoid the system automatically creating hidden partitions. As long as you install the selected partition, do not select a blank area, but select a partition that has been formatted as NTFS. If you must select a blank area, remember to select the space, then manually format it, and then proceed to the next step of installation, do not let the system format itself! This will avoid the system automatically format and create a hidden partition.
