    So I recently purchased an ASUS U36SD-XA1, and I love everything about it, except for one thing: the size of the SSD. I chose the SSD over a HDD for speed, but I hate that its such a small drive.

    I want to free up space, and one of my ideas is to copy the recovery partition to my external drive, which would free up 25GB on the SSD. Sadly, ASUS has really locked up this partition, and I can't seem to do anything with it. Anyone had any success with copying it to a new drive and deleting the partition so that the primary partition can be extended?

    Thanks
