Unique Recovery Partition Problem
OK, I'll try to explain this as simple as possible. My laptop has 232 GB HDD. It has 4 different Volumes. I tried to do a screen shot but for some reason it's giving me fits.
C: NTFS 181GB Capacity 60GB Used (Original C: Vista Partition)
*: Other 38GB Capacity 38 GB Used (Dual Boot Ubuntu)
*: Other 1.65GB Cap 1.65GB Used (No Idea what this is)
D: NTFS 12.86GB Cap 0GB Used HP_Recovery
I originally had Vista Home Premium installed on here. Through my college, I get Office 7 Professional free. I tried to make a Recovery Cd of Vista before installing Windows 7, but something was wrong with the Recovery Partition. That's neither here nor there.
So I installed Windows 7 and decided I wanted to do the Backup thing right away. The D: wasn't sufficient (12.86GB), so I tried to change the Backup settings so it would only image C:, not backup Libraries. It still was throwing the 0x8070048 Error Code. So, I have 2 questions:
1) Do I need to make a Backup on the HDD if I have a Windows 7 install disk?
2)If I do, is there anyway to make my D: partition bigger by shrinking my C:?
3)If I don't, can I get rid of my D: and increase my C:?
I did try searching this forum and got some good ideas (like using Partition Wizard), but it just didn't answer my questions. Thanks again!
