Sony vaio hdd partitions
Hi,
I have a Sony Vaio that has a hard drive partitioned into a c and d drive as well as the hidden recovery partition. I want to delete the d partition so I have one larger drive because the c partition only has 13gb and the d has 40gb. Is there a way to do this without having to go through the hassle of making a ton of recovery cd's? I tried to do a chat wtih Sony but there timer ran out. Maybe delete teh d partion using disk manager then doing a recovery? Thanks, John

I'd leave a small D drive so as not to change anything with the hidden partion. Download a program here. Works great. Read everything before doing this. http://www.partition-tool.com/

Sony vaio hdd partitions
Thank you so much for your response. It looks like the recovery partition is
seperate and hidden from the c and d drive. Is there a way I can find out for sure? I just want to get the max size for the c drive partition since it is a moderate size hard drive.

Thanks guys, that was a great program. I can't believe it is a freebee. I had
the d partition deleted and the c partition enlarged in about 1 minute. Thanks again.
