Image windows 7 200 MB hidden partition

I have been using Acronis true Image for my backups.

When I installed windows 2 OEM 32 bit on a new hard disk it created
a hidden 200 MB hidden partition.

I found this site very useful in understanding the purpose of this
partition

Am I correct in presuming that I only need to create an image
of this partition only once as it will be static on my computer
unless I add more operating systems to the computer?

Thanks

I don't Have one as far as I can see. The C partition has not changed size
to make room for one and the disk already had 4

I can see it with Acronis Disk Director.

If you create NTFS partition or use an old NTFS partition from XP and
install windows 7 in it then this hidden partition is not created and
Boot folder and other booting files will be in C as it is with Vista

I see virtue in the partition but preferred having one only one partition

The advantages of this separate partition probably exceed the
disasvantages so I am going to keep it.
