If your question is
Can I delete the system reserved partition from 100MB or how to remove the 100Mb System Reserved Partition from Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 then please check my another post
Only issue I have with the article is you failed to mention the purpose of the partition and the potential impacts of deleting. The purpose of this partition is for bitlocker encryption.
I cannot prove because I have not tested it, but I suspect you will be unable to implement bit locker at a later date. Partitioning is one of those areas where careful planning and attention to detail is critical.

I believe the purpose of this post is not to explain to everyone about partitioning, but to show people how to perform a specific task. In that respect, it was very successful. For people wanting to create a vDisk for provisioning, there can be only one volume.
Thank you for this informational post!
