    Ok, so my Verve finally came in yesterday!

    Unfortunately it has a stuck pixel and it's not that big of a deal for me to return it right now. I've tried all the methods of removing it but proved unseccesful. I'll take another whack at it today, any tips are appreciated.

    Anyways, as most of you know, HP does come with a recovery drive.

    I deleted that recovery drive and now I see "Unallocated (Space): 11.91 Gb" right next to my primary partition "C: 137.14 Gb"

    What exactly does this "unallocated" mean and can I merge it with C so I can just have a fat glob of 149.05 Gb ?

    Thanks [Pics Included]

    PS: If anyone is thinking about buying a Verve and would like some pics of mine, i'd be more than happy to take and post some pics.

    Yep, you can.. Just right click on the C partition, and click resize...

    The unallocated space is left over from the recovery partition you deleted....

    Did you run the recovery disk creator tool to create recovery DVDs?
    BEFORE you deleted the recovery partition* ?

    You want to expand the first partition.
