When I purchased my PC I didn't get any software on disk. All of the software that came with the computer is on the Recovery Partition. Currently the Recovery Partition is using 10 GB of HDD space and I would like to have the additional space for my work. Is there any way to copy the information on the Recovery Drive and delete the recovery information so I can use the additional HDD space

only one way that comes to mind back up your current system using norton ghost run the recovery partion to bring back all original setup defaults then run norton ghost to back up the orignal set up os re partion your drive and ghost the image back in but really thats a lot of work why not invest in second harddrive

I will probably get a 2nd drive. Will I have to purchase a new OS or can I use the OS on the drive that is already in my computer?

Thank you for the reply.
