I have two 500GB hard drives in my laptop. I have formatted both so they contain nothing. When I'm installing Windows 7, depending on the drive I choose to install Windows on I may or may not get the 100MB added.
When I install on drive 0 it doesn't get added.
When I install on drive 1 it always gets added.
Why would the partition be added on one drive or not the other?
I think it's the primary HDD that doesn't get the 100MB and the secondary one does.

Understand (and Get Rid of) the Mysterious Small Partition
I really don't understand why it wouldn't be created if you install to the first drive, unless you have a pre-existing partition on it. Usually, the partition is always created on an empty drive for the reasons quoted above.
