Delete system reserved 100Mb partition?

[bononos]

How do I remove the 100Mb reserved partition that win7/8 created for me without screwing up the other partitions?

Is it possible to delete the reserve partition, delete the active partition (c: drive) and create a new primary partition by merging the empty space left behind without screwing up d: drive partition?
Edit- Forgot to add that I will be using minitool Partition Wizard or another similar utility.

However i really don't see any decent use case where removing it would be beneficial.

Do you really need the 100mb back?

I'll bet there are tens of thousands of people who iron their underwear and socks who want that annoying partition off their drives.

No but it does take up 1 primary partition.

And?

Add 10 more if you want to!

After some checking, its safe to get rid of the reserved partition if there isn't any multiboot. The boot partition will be affected and will not boot and requires installing but other partitions will not be affected.

Doesn't the vss use the reserved partition? I think it also contains some recovery tools. I can't imagine that your in the position to actually need to free up that disk space so why not keep it?

The boot partition will be affected

exactly

That 100MB partition is part of a security feature - separating the initial boot files from the host OS makes it harder for a malware writer to compromise the boot sequence.
