Have you created this partition yourself or windows created it ????
If Windows Created it then don't do anything to this or Windows will stop working.

Well those are system files in it and they are hidden so you arn't able to see them.
To see them
Go Organise -> Folder and Search Options -> View Tab -> The Select Show Hidden Files and Folders, Uncheck Hide Protected Operating System Files

Then you can see those folders and files but there will be security restriction to open them or to see the contents of that folder. Well You can break that security to see all the files but don't do that.
And don't modify or delete that partition alright.

DONT DO ANYTHING!!!!

its system reserved space for keeping boot data, if you modify anything, your computer WILL FAIL TO BOOT.

anyway, 100 mb is a very small amount, its not going to affect anything, and its not a virus

you have created two threads. please dont do this. one thread is enough

@Vatsal: I confirm too. That 100 MB partition is an auto created partition by Windows Vista or 7, to be used for System related tasks.
AFAIK, that partition is not given a drive letter by default, and so is not visible under normal circumstances, unless you give it a drive letter yourself!
You should remove the drive letter from that partition, OR hide the partition altogether using utilities like, Tune Up.
