    I got my Vostro 1400 last week. It came with Vista Home Basic so I upgraded to Vista Home Premium with an install disc I had. Anyway, I forgot to wipe out the recovery partition that was on the disk. Is there anyway to get rid of that now and combine it with my main OS partition? Or do I have to install Vista Home Premium again?

    GParted is free so that may be a more viable option.
