Re: Disk Management

Thank you for your POST Bar-man, the system is a Lenovo (not a Dell) and the
configuration that you described (one drive your main drive contains the
system partition and six others and is working ok but shows a primary EISA
partition 0f 18.06 GB that you want to convert to free space so that you may
add it to you backup drive. Firstly the EISA drive partition is your hidden
system recovery recovery drive is almost correct). The 18.06GB EISA is what I
inadvertently created by Partitioning an EXTERNAL / Irremovable Disk Drive
(it is NOT part of the Lenovo system). If in fact this 18.06GB Drive is
Hidden System Recovery that would be very strange since as I mentioned, I
just created it (ran into the problem and POSTED a request for help).
The Lenovo Hidden System Recovery program is called OneKey and it resides on
the "C" Drive (Partition) along with the OS.
What I wanted to do was create a Drive (Partition) where I could store the
OneKey images / backups since the "C" Drive is only 30GB (for BOTH Vista and
OneKey). I confused myself and Partioned the Exteral Drive instead of
Partitioning one of the Partitions that I created on the Lenovo Hard Drive.
Hope this explains things a little better.
