Title: question about a partition on my hard drive...
Post by: MadHatter on October 15, 2007, 11:53:29 AM

well i have a 8 gig partition on my hard drive that hp put there and i want to get rid of it, before i installed windows ultimate i had home premium and while i ahd home premium i changed the virtual paging file on the partition for about 4 gigs...im not sure i cant rmemeber though....anyway after i instaled vista ultimate the paging file didnt detect the space and it automatically managed the space, but the space on the partition still shows that the space is being used up...

anyway im wondering how i can un partition it and put the 8 gigs or so back on my C drive.


as u can see on the right hp recovery D is the partition

Go to "Start",right click "Computer", click on "Manage", and click on "Disk Management".
Right click the drive and select "Extend Volume".

Have fun!
