Drive Letter assigned to system reserved partition

Question

I recently removed my ubuntu installation because I didn't want to go through GRUB every time I turned on my PC. That worked fine. Now in file explorer I have a 100MB partition. I know that this partition is the system reserved one because in drive management it shows the system reserved partition under drive letter e:

How can I hide the drive? I don't want to mess up my windows installation. I tried removing the drive letter but windows says I can't change drive letter on the current boot or pagefile drive.

OS : Windows 8.1 Update 1

Solution

Fixed the issue myself. I had a program called MiniTool Partition Wizard which is what I used to remove Ubuntu and rebuild the MBR. I used that and removed the drive letter from the system reserved partition and it worked like a charm.

--------------------------------------------------HOW I DID IT -------------------------------------------------------------- Using MiniTool Partition Wizard 9,

• Click On Partition
• On the left side options list, there is an option called change drive letter. Click on that and set the drive letter to none.

Problem Solved

@Steven I didn't want to have to select the Windows option in the GRUB bootlader. I know that I could change the default option but this is the only computer I have so I didn't want to mess anything up.
