Safe to remove system reserved partition?

Heya,

 

I want to know if it's safe to delete the "system reserved" partition from my NTFS storage drive that I use in my Debian desktop.

The drive was previously used as the storage drive for my windows 7 install which is where it's gotten the "system reserved" partition from but now that I no longer use windows on this computer is cool to just delete that partition?

Also, would doing so remove the windows boot entry in the grub menu at start up?

Everything in me says it'd be fine but I don't want to fk anything up, so ye.

It is 100mb....on a 1tb drive... Is it really that important?

I honestly don't know, but I wouldn't worry about 100mb(pretty sure it isn't good to delete it though). Reinstall grub to remove the boot entry.

It's not so much a space issue, I could care less about losing 100mb, what I thought it may achieve is it would no longer show up in the boot list in grub. Seeing as the drive doesn't have an OS on it then it doesn't really deserve a spot on the list.

Shouldnt be a problem then as far as I know, you could just remove it and let grub-mkconfig run again. You could also just go the safe way and remove the entry from grub ;P
