Partition Help

Hey guys, I have a recovery partition on my main HD in my new dv9000t. What do I need to do to get rid of it? I have a set of burned recovery discs from that partition and the stock ones, so I no longer need it and it claims over 10gb. I have never worked with them before. Basically what I want to do is just add that 10gb back to my main HD from which it was taken. How do I go about doing that? Any tips? Thanks in advance

**Edit**
I now have Partition Magic, I deleted the recovery partition, but I can't figure out how to add it back to the main HD. Any ideas?

 

Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management (left side) and you can delete that part of partition. If you want to add the 10 GB to the main partition, that can be difficult. I forgot how to do it.

FIrst you use windows to delete it, then you need something like Partition Magic, or GParted to add that 10Gb back onto another partition.

 

Partition Magic can do it all

p.s Free if you look for it closly p2p

 

Thanks for all the help guys. That pointed me in the right direction. Thanks a bunch.

If you dont feel like getting PartitionMagic just download a copy of linux (Ubuntu should do fine). Boot up into linux (you load the entire OS off a CD) and use the built in partition manager. Does the same thing as PartitionMagic for free.

 

Yes, but why get something illegally when a very good free legal alternative exists.
