Hello,

 

I am trying to salvage this disk from an old laptop, however the disk is split into two parts and I cannot seem to find a way to join them into one partition. I can mount any of these separately, but when I try to extend it to remaining space, it doesn't seem possible.

Deleting that has no problems? I got a new ssd and this partition was automatically created when i cloned my windows to it. The recovery partition doesnt have a windows logo on it

Why keep it? Can't "connect" partitionless areas without deleting it or moving it to the start or the end of drive. Also can't move partitions without 3rd party tools afaik.

Well we don't know what we're looking at, if you cloned that SSD to another and now want to use this one for storage then nothing that's on it has any use, no problem deleting the recovery partition.
