New Computer - System Reserved on Wrong HDD?!

So I just put this computer together:

Intel i5, 16GB RAM, AMD HD 6970, Win 7 64...

Hard Drive setup: Samsung EVO 120GB, Hitachi 750GB

When I finished installing windows, I went to add my Hitachi 750GB as a backup partition (Labeled X: Drive).

This is what I found: System Reserved

Disc 0 is my SSD drive, which I wanted all windows files to install on. Somehow, a system reserve partition was installed on my Hitachi backup drive (called "System Reserved").

Now, this isn't a huge deal because 1) It's only taking up 100MB of storage, and 2) That 100MB is now on a different drive than my already small SSD.

My biggest concern is: By having the "System Reserved" partition placed on the wrong hard drive, am I going to notice any performance decrease than if I would have had it on the SSD?

If so: Is there any way that I could move this partition to my SSD? At this point, since I haven't installed any major programs, would it be worth it to re-format, and disconnect my Hitachi (insuring that all files get installed on the SSD)?

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Gah...Thank you. This was what I was afraid of. I've run into problems in the past where somehow a piece of the OS was installed on a drive meant purely for backup storage, and when that drive was removed, I got some very nice errors that forced me to format anyway.

Looks like I'm reformatting tonight ;)

Thanks again!
