    I have a fujitsu sh531 notebook with win7.I have formatted win7 for the first time.At some point it asked me which drive to format.There were partitions 4 partitions:

    1 WINRE 2GB system
    2 system ~500gb logical
    3 HDBR_DRIVER 5gb oem (reserved)
    4 HDBR_OS 13gb oem (reserved)

    I formatted only second one not to mess things up but if its ok i want to format all of them in case of malware.

    My question is what are these partitions used for and is it ok if i format them?
