What is a Microsoft Reserved Partition?

The Microsoft Reserved Partition reserves space on each disk drive for
subsequent use by operating system software. GUID Partition Table disks
do not allow hidden sectors. Software components that formerly used
hidden sectors now allocate portions of the Microsoft Reserved Partition
for component-specific partitions. For example, converting a basic disk
to a dynamic disk causes the Microsoft Reserved Partition on that disk
to be reduced in size and a newly created partition holds the dynamic
disk database.
