Do you have another partition you can back up to? The fact that your
recovery drive is showing as available is not ideal and is something we are
working with OEMs to change. You can back up to another volume or to
CD/DVDs. Do you have an external hard disk? If not, you might consider
buying one because these are very useful for backups and are easy to
install.
