Hi,

that's a Microsoft thing.

When you create a new partition, windows create a MSR (Microsoft Reserved Partition).

In your case it's a 32 MB Partition

DISKPART> list partition

  -------------  ----------------  -------  -------

  Partition 1    Reserved            32 MB    17 KB

  Partition 2    Primary             68 MB    33 MB
