What is on the unnamed partition?
Just bought a Dell Studio 14 laptop and upgraded my Acronis software to 2011. When creating my first system image, the program automatically selected the recovery partition and my system image. There was another partition there which was unchecked labeled as "unnamed partition" which was not checked. Being the picky user that I am I checked the option to backup the unnamed partition and continued with the backup.
So what is on the unnamed partition, and is it important or necessary to backup in the image files? It is a very small partition, it's capacity is 0.1GB.

Yes, the partition which yrag describes is required in the installation of Windows 7 for your system. Should you have a need to move to a new or larger disk, it is best that this partition be part of the backup. Be safe and make it easier to recover, put a checkmark beside the disk and that will automatically include all partitions in the backup.
