Disk Management - 25gb primary partition, unallocated drive letter.

Hi,
So I inadvertently stumbled onto the disk management program, whilst looking for disk cleanup... and was a little confused to find a 25gb primary partition which was totally unassigned. It won't let me do anything to it other than delete it. So I guess the question I'm asking is, can I delete this partition and assign the 25gb to another drive... or, is this important? I've heard manufacturers often include an inaccessible recovery partition... but 25gb is space I could use...

I've included a screenshot in case my description was a bit rubbish.

Thanks,
Paul

Welcome to the forum,

Can you post a better screenshot with everything in view,

Thanks for the reply,
Sure thing, I've attached one.

It looks like it might be a recovery partition put there by ASUS.
Although, it seems a bit large.

Can I remove it? Or would that not be a good idea? Or could I make it smaller?

It appears to be empty, can you give it a drive letter to see if there's anything in there?

Yeah, looks like it.

Just searching around the internet reveals it is a recovery partition common for Asus.

I guess you need to decide if you want that feature left intact.

Have you made the ASUS OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disks?
