    Yes, I believe so. Is that a problem? But, I disabled the Dual Boot configuration, so I wouldn't have to keep choosing an OS to continue.

    Then there's no point in having the useless Recovery partition which boots into a Win7 disk anyway, because you can't boot it if Win7 fails to start. You'd need to use F8 or the Win7 disk or Repair CD.

    If I were you I'd delete the useless System Reserved and Recovery partitons which you made and ignore the 15gb until your disk fills up and its needed which is unlikely.

    Okay. I will do that. Just choose, delete volume?

    Yes, then reboot to make sure that Boot Menu has gone away. You can delete the unneeded Recovery partition from Dual Boot menu in msconfig>Boot if it doesn't go away when deleted. But don't delete the Win7 listing or it won't boot.

    I will do it when I get home. I'm working on my grandmother's computer. I can't get her screensaver to work. It's set to come on in 30 minutes. She has Windows XP.

    Greg, is my computer messed up? I meant to ask you. It's running fine.

    How would I know? You're the one using it. I've told you the standard to measure by is if it's always instantaneous and never hangs.

    Okay. I will when I get home. I'm in church right now. I did what you said to do. It still has the recovery options.
