    I want to install Windows XP, but first i want to merge the 2 drives together.. You know the recovery drive, like 10gb? Will it make any effect if i delete that drive and merge it with my current drive?

    Or can i delete all the files in the recovery drive?

    Please let me know how to do it..

    Awais what is your current computer and spec plus OS?
    You can format the hard drive which will wipe all data from the drive and install XP.. Just make sure that you have all drivers you need before you take up this task in installing XP.
