    I have now done my 3 BackUps of the hidden Volume on my Vaio Z21. Now I want to delete that hidden volume and add the space to my accessible HD.

    How do I delete that volume within Vista? If I try to do through administraive tools -> computer management -> disk management it does not give me the option to delete te volume. :confused:

    RightClick only gives me 'help', but not 'delete volume' see the attached picture.

    You can also used Partition Magic Software to remove the hidden volume. make sure you created a Copy of Recovery Dvd if there any cases system crash you can return unit back to it's factory settings.
