Disk Management Window
In Disk Management I have 31.09 GB Healthy (Recovery Partition).
I need the space. How do I get red of it and add it to my C Drive?

Hello Rus,
The tutorial below can help show you how to. :)
Disk Management - Post a Screen Capture Image
We really need the picture. Your recovery partition is unusual in size and it could be active. So we have to have a look.

Hmm, Shawn beat me, lol.
Couldn't fine the paper clip and I'm totally confused. There are two boxes. The one one the left shows 31.09 GB Healthy (Recovery Partition) and the one on the right shows:
TI106234WOC (C:)
88.15 GB NTFS
Healthy (System, Boot, Active, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)
Sorry, but it's the best I can do.
My SSD is a 124 GB.
Without a picture of disk management we cannot help you. There are too many variables and we don't want to brick your system. The info you gave up to now does not really help.
But if you want to take chances, let us know. It's your responsibility then.
PS, the paper clip:
A few questions first:
1. Why is that recovery partition 31GBs. Normally they are around 10GB. How much freespace is in that partition.
2. Did you burn the recovery DVD from the recovery partition. If not, it will be difficult to reinstall the system when it crashes or has a virus.. It is not impossible, but you may have a lot of trouble.
3. Do you have an external disk to which you could make images. That could substitute for the recovery partition.
4. How much RAM do you have.
5. Did you explore other possibilities to gain space on your SSD - like deleting the hiberfile, reducing the pagefile, etc.
6. Is this a laptop or a desktop where you also have a HDD.
