      Having a HDD with two partitions (Main O/S, and Backup Images) I delete the partition “Backup Images” but there is a 3rd small partition. Would it be safe to also delete this before I deploy?

      sda/1-Main O/S
      sda/2-128 bytes? <-??
      sda/5-Backup Images

        If there is no data (i can’t see there being much in 128 byte partition) then it should be okay to remove.

          What manufacturer is this? I have seen Dell do odd things with the mini partitions. Worst case scenario you may have to boot a repair disc and mark the OS partition as the boot partition and fix the MBR.
