Rapid restore PC

[eirikur]

Hi.

I have a problem. In Access IMB on my thinkpad T40 I used rapid restore PC. I chose "define and restor backups" and installed IBM rapid restor pc. The program created a 10 GB partion on my hard disc for backups. The hard disc is only 30 GB and I really need the 10 GB back. I would rather want to store my backups on an external hard drive.

Can anyone please tell me how I can get rid of the 10 GB rapid restore partion?

Thanks ,
Eiríkur

Do you have a xp cd? One option would be delete the partition and reinstall xp.

Yes I have windows xp cd.

Will that delet the "restore factory contents options" on my hard drive?

[cmarti]

Yes! Boot from the cd and follow the on screen instructions. Then choose to delete the 10gb partition.

What the heck! delete all partitions and then create a new one and perform a deep format and reinstall the OS.

Delete ONLY all partitions when you have the recovery CDs.

Rapid Restore is the old version of Rescue & Recovery. Check the help file for back up deletion or search here:
