How do I copy/delete the recovery partition
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2012 7:48 pm
I received several machines from a vendor w/ the recover partition still intact. Didn't realize how to access them at the time, but noticed this FAT32 partition on my small SSD. Have tried to find the copy R&R through the start menu as per instruction, but can't find the proper sequence or it's not there.
Hope to get another system from the same vendor, and hope it will have the R&R partition still intact. From what I have learned, it should access via F11. But the other systems seemed to have this blocked by a "win 98", somehow. Having used XXclone, it will create a start up text file which seem to enact a "duel boot" type feature. It seems this would be an easy route.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
PS my SSD is small, how do I delete the FAT32 partition to recover the drive space? Want to copy it 1st.
