What's this unallocated space in my C: drive?

[Murd3rd]

@Murd3rd What I really meant to say was, I don't think I have a recovery partition, because my Toshiba is really running on a default W7 ISO. I just wish I had one, that's all.

ahhh...ok, i just read the whole thread and was wondering why you were so worried about this unallocated space, nvm then, haha

Is the PC working fine now ? Have you got the 10 GBs added to C: ?

 

[vStone1K]

@AddRam Yes, I do. It says 594gb instead of 584gb, an extra 10gb.

@Murd3rd Continuing from my previous post, I just wish I had a recovery cd/partition, because there are some things you can't get on their support website.

*just because i kinda wanna know* what kind of things? i havent had any problems getting anything to work on my laptop(except my webcam but that isnt a software fault, it has internal wire failure). if i cant find it on the Toshiba site, then Windows update probably has the answer...

You can always order recovery discs from the manufacturer.

You can always order recovery discs from the manufacturer.

yeah but that costs money if your warranty has already ran out...

and who WANTS to spend money on software...

 

[AddRAM]

Ya but he wants them, $30 is nothing. Save a $1 a day for a month.

Better to clean reinstall when the time comes anyway, without the factory bloatware which corrupts and throttles Win7.

Here are steps to get a perfect clean reinstall of factory OEM: Reinstalling Windows 7

But he wants the factory bloatware, I too was gonna suggest a clean install but he has no install media.

When the time comes for clean reinstall we can help with that.

@AddRAM I recently got a 10 pack of DVD-RW's, but I know how to reinstall W7 from scratch, I'm running my laptop from that right now. Maybe you're all right; a clean install is better. I made my own custom W7 Install DVD anyway.

So send a disk mgt pic, I`d like to see how you did.

Give that small partition a letter and then you can see what`s on it.

Okay it took me a while, but I found a pix of an L650 disk allocation, now it is a little smaller than yours, but the range on those L's went from 320 to 500GB Model Content Page

Here is that pix:



And every time I tried to find any kind of recovery media from Toshiba - Australia
It sent me back to here https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx The European site.
Where you can not pick Australia as your location.

From the US site Recovery media - Toshiba Forums

Recovery media can be ordered online. Click here to begin the order process. There is no charge for the software itself, for which customers already own licenses, and as of 11/5/11 the shipping and handling charges for delivery of recovery media in the US is $29.95 for DVD media or $39.95 for USB sticks.
Shipping and handling charges for the following list of Latin American countries is $37.95 for DVD media or $47.95 for USB sticks:

But try as I might I can not find anything like that on the Europe or Ozzie sites

Ya, but 1.46 GBs ? Is it super compressed ?

Hello everyone, I was recently looking in disc management today for something and recently discovered this in the C: drive section:View attachment 189593
What is this '10.67 GB unallocated space' for? Is it the recovery partition? I heard that system recovery contains the whole OS and programs and stuff, which is about 10gb. What could this be for? I'm hoping it's the recovery partition, as I'm missing quite a few Toshiba programs that only come installed on the original system. Any help is appreciated! Oh yes, I should say, Merry Christmas !

Why did you delete the 10gb Recovery Partition in first place?
