Delete recovery partition

I've searched and searched and searched but I cant find the post I was reading the other day about how to delete the recovery partition using the command prompt.

Could someone please link it for me? Thanks!

 

Or you can boot off an OS cd, then you will see all of the partitions, including the recovery one. Then just delete it.

 

"Using the Windows interface
1.
Open Computer Management (Local).

2.
In the console tree, click Computer Management (Local), click Storage, and then click Disk Management.

3.
Right-click the partition, logical drive, or basic volume you want to delete, and then click Delete Partition.

If the menu item reads Delete Volume instead of Delete Partition, the volume is a dynamic volume. For instructions on how to delete a dynamic volume, see Related Topics."

 

That plain doesn't work for me. There is no option to view, let alone delete.

 

Right clicking doesn't give any options except for 'help'.

 

bump! Help please!

How can I delete my recovery partition?

I've searched heaps and can't find anything!

 

You can use Paragon Partition Manager. Try the trial and see if the delete function is enabled.

Burn the GParted LiveCD ISO and boot from it, it should let you delete any partition. GParted btw is a very nice open-source partition maintenance tool, much like Partition Magic.

 

Thanks dmorris!

I'll post back in a few days and let your know how it goes.

 

I used gparted live.

I found it very complicated. I suppose its made for high-tec people, rather than average users.

It took ages to delete and resize my drive, over 3 hours!

Then when it was done the boot sector was corrupt.

I had to rescue it with the installation disc, which went without a hitch, and the lappy works fine now.

7 gigs recovered! Sweet, more porn space!

Thanks dmorris!
