Sometimes telling the OP what they ask for straight away does not necessarily help them. Occasionally they dont know why or what they are asking!<br/><br/>no offence pwb67220reddevilggg -<br/><br/>You already previous meationed the possible "recovery partition",<br/>and I said "After moving off or backing up all the data you want from the other drive you will be removing",<br/>as well as "Note - make sure you don't try remove the primary partition with boot, system and page file."<br/><br/>Shrugs, sorry but I won't treat any user as a complete noobie - that's already Vista's job, lol.<br/><br/> Quote from: Azzaboi on October 30, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/2010-290294" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 2010">2010</a>, 10:23:43 PM</p><blockquote>Shrugs, sorry but I won't treat any user as a complete noobie - that's already Vista's job, lol.<br/></blockquote> <br/>Even <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/though-1417450" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about THOUGH">THOUGH</a> they have listed their experience as beginner, well done. Which indicates that they might not even know what a recovery drive is or does. <br/><br/>Your so quick to give advice and not so good at taking it. You can do more harm than good.
