    Hey guys, I recently got Partition Magic and have used it to delete the recovery partition that was hogging up my main HD. I was wondering how I go about using the program to add that free space back to my main HD. Any ideas?

    You merge the two partitions, making the recovery partition a folder under C:\. Use this in the Partition Magic "common tasks" options on the left.
