Acronis True Image Backup/Restore

Question

Had my 3000 K100 for about a month now - working fine.
Like many others, the one key restore feature, 20 GB "c" drive, hidden partitions all are a bit confusing to me.
I use Acronis True Image to create emergency boot disks, and have an external drive that I use to make an image of my c and d drives.  I do a full backup at least once a week.  So, I really don't have to rely on on the built in Lenovo restore features. 
Is there a way to just "turn it off"?  Then I could make my c drive bigger - and not worry about how it would affect the one key restore features, base backups, etc.
Lenovo 3000 K100 57061330 Intel Desktop Computer - Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz, 3GB DDR2, 500GB SATA, SATA DVDRW, Windows Vista Home Premium, Nvidia G-Force 8600, external Maxtor 500GB backup disk.

Sankalp,
I too have the error 0x81000033 when running the full system image backup.  I could not assign a drive letter to my 100mb drive with the Disk Management.  So, I went into the diskpart and ran the following commands:
diskpart
list disk
DISKPART> list par
  Partition ###  Type              Size     Offset
  Partition 1    System             100 MB  1024 KB           ( 78.2 of 96.0MB free )
  Partition 2    Reserved           128 MB   101 MB
  Partition 3    Primary             73 GB   229 MB
  Partition 4    Recovery           423 MB    74 GB
sel dis 0
list par
select partition 1
assign letter=q
fsutil usn queryjournal q:
fsutil usn deletejournal /D q:
After diskpart, I opened the "My Computer" and see that I have 78.2 of 96.0MB free.  Despite that, I ran these commands on the new q: drive:
C:\Windows\System32>q:
Q:\>fsutil usn queryjournal q:
Error:  The parameter is incorrect.
The FSUTIL utility requires a local NTFS volume.
Q:\>fsutil usn deletejournal /D q:
Error:  The parameter is incorrect.
The FSUTIL utility requires a local NTFS volume.

Any help is appreciated.
