  1. 2 Recovery Partitions: OK to Delete 1?


    I cloned my 1TB HDD onto a new 2 TB SSD, and now I have a Recovery Partition on each drive and ~900 of Unallocated space on the SSD separated from the letter drive by 1 of the recovery partitions. Can I delete the SSD Recovery Partition in order to extend the new drive into the unallocated space? If so, how?

    :)

    How to recover files off a HDD from a deleted partition? help!!!

    Thanks for your reply. I used my m8s program and it worked like a dream, recovered all the files and also deleted ones from yrs back, was amazed how well it did. Next step is i will use that Partition Table Doctor to recover the deleted partition. Thanks for the link *Toast :toast:

  3. Win 7 sys. recovery partition

    Ok everytime I install an OS I reformat the hdd and delete all partitions. When Win 7 is fully installed it creates it's own "system recovery" partition. But this time it didn't*Confused 2 Recovery Partitions: OK to Delete 1? :confused: I know how to create partitions, so can I create one for the recovery and will the os recognize it as a recovery partition?

    2 Recovery Partitions: OK to Delete 1?

    Will deleting the factory partition render the recovery disk useless?

    More than likely it is of no use NOW . The recovery disk is nothing more than drivers and some BS . You will not get the OS and recovering from a recovery disk only works if the drive partition is fine and has been untouched by any one .
    The best thing to do is delete all the partitions and just install windows on the HDD make your own recovery disk and your done not to mention you get all that drive space back .
