    While I was in Disk Manager, I accidentally made the primary disk a dynamic one, and when I changed it back, the C drive is fine, but HP Tools where the information for the Recovery Disks is became corrupted, the files are still there but the headers are probably messed up or something? DO you guys think there is a way I could get recovery disks still? From HP? From any user here?

    Give HP a call and tell them the problem. The cost of a recovery disk set is usually about $10.

    I actually did that yesterday, and they sent them to me for free (they are $30). An hour or so later, I got a shipment notice. Now I can just delete that space and use it for Ubuntu!
