    hi, under Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management there is a partition without a Volume Name that is 10.37 GB big and has a status of "Healthy (EISA Configuration)". Is this the recovery partition? If so, how do I delete it? Right Clicking on it, unlike the other two partitions I have, doesn't give me an option to delete or format.
    Thanks!

    yes that is the recovery partition.
    definitely make sure you have burned the recovery dvd's before deleting it.
    you need a 3rd party app to mess with partitions - I don't have one I can recommend.
    Be careful!!
