ok, i have an msi ge60 ond, and it has a recovery function with the F3 key at startup. i'm wondering if this is tied to the 11GB partition on my hard drive? or to the 100mb partition?

or is anything is even on those partitions? look at the snip...at the "free space"....? looks like nothings on there. i just want to know if there is anything on there so i can merge all the partitions into one if not (i think i'm a little OCD when it comes to this hahaha).

I wouldn`t touch either one of them. You need them. If you want another partition in the future you can always create one from your C: partition.

ok cool. thanks for the replies and info. i was just curious because in computer management it said the free space was the same as the capacity so it seemed like there wasnt anything there. ill leave them alone in case of the worst LoL (fingers crossed):picnic:
