Disk Management 101 Help

[GEESMAN]

Dear you,

 

I have had a thought of figuring out what the heck the Disk Management on my C; drive means but I have only gotten x knowledge.

 

I ask now of you, do you know if you can or if its worth it to expand Recovery Image (in my case D; drive) or one of the "Healthy (Recovery Partition)" (in my case J; drive). If anyone knows anything about this let me know.

 

Or if you just want to drop facts about disk management in general that would be much appreciated.

 

My drive as an example (or is it?)

 

 

Fare thee well,

GEESMAN

Do not mess with any of those partitions, they are all required.

 

The RE Tools partition is the Recovery Environment to reset your PC back to factory settings, the EFI partition contains the Windows Boot Loader, the C drive is your main data partition, the 505mb partition and the J drive contains the boot files for recovery and the D drive contains the actual recovery image that is used to restore your computer.

 

If you want to take the space used by recovery then you can delete the 505mb partition, the J drive and the D drive but doing this will mean you cannot recover the computer using its built in Recovery mode. Your only option would be to clean install from a MS image and you will lose all the preinstalled software your computer came bundled with.
