    Curious as to the purpose of this partition.

    As the title says, i'm not sure why this partition is here as it says that it is 100% free, I also can not access it and am afraid to delete it in case it has something to do with my acronis partiton which I assume, unless it is hidden is the System Reserved partition.



    Thanks for your help.

    Download a WinHex trial. It has an option to open a partition to peruse the raw text.

    I assumed as much. Will make a note to never touch it.

    Thanks.
