Installing Windows 7 - Remove 100MB system partition which is created by default

To remove this pain partition do these steps:
  1. Run the windows 7 cd and at the first setup screen press Shift +F10
  2. Run Diskpart
  3. Type the follow commands in:
    List disk (normally disk is 0)
    select disk 0 (change 0 to another number if applicable)
    clean (deletes all partitions on disk)
    create partition primary
    select partition 1
    active
    format fs=ntfs quick
    exit
  4. Now you can continue with the setup it will use the partition we just created and wont create a system partition
These steps are useful when you need to clone machines and you want only one disk
