    So... anybody know of a program that will extend my vista partition into the 10gb of unallocated space that once was my recovery partition?

    Paragon Partition Manager Pro 8.5 wont do it becuase files are in use... duh.

    Any ideas?

    Partition magic is a good tool but wont work with Vista.... You can however boot into DOS using some boot cd and run PM....

    Otherwise you can try the free partitioning tool gparted....
