makasin Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I have a quick question. Is it ok if i delete the recovery volume of my hard drive (it is before my actual WinXP partition). It is a hidden drive that has a fresh XP install on it. I dont really need it as my computer also came with the Install disc for windows. Will it mess up my C: drive if I delete it and move my C to the beginning? Im trying to free up some space, but if that doesnt work, I could just reformat the beginning partition and use it as a 1.8gig drive (but itll be more cluttered with 4 partitions on my 60GB drive).

makasin Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 Its an Asus laptop. This is what my drive looks like: |Recovery (FAT32) 1.8GB| | Windows C: (NTFS) 54.0GB | I would like it to look like this: |Windows(NTFS| |Mac OSX (HFS+)| |Media Drive (FAT32)| Can I delete the recovery and merge it into the Windows or create a partition after it? Otherwise I could just convert the recovery into FAT32 but not have it hidden and use that as a little storage facility for OSX (since it can only read NTFS,correct?) And for reading my windows partition, will it just appear or will i have to mount it manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
