Deleted the one WinRE partition.
Now there are 3 NTFS partitions

Win RE - 1.46GB Healthy (Primary Partition)
Win7Ultimate (C:) - 116.44GB Healthy(System Boot, Page File, Active, Primary Partition)
Data (E:) - 114.98GB Healthy (Primary Partition)

The machine boots and operates well and normally!
Question is What is in the WinRE small partition if the boot is in the main C: drive? When I open "Computer" only C: an E: appear. There must be something in WinRE because it shows 81% free in Disk Management?

I am wary of doing anything to get the disc "normal" with a small boot partition and 2 other partitions like C: and E: with stuff in them
