SOS Rapid restore ultra and T41p

#1 Post by longfellow » Sat Feb 19, 2005 2:25 am

I restored my T41p to factory settings. There was a service partition created by IBM Rapid Restore Ultra. I thought once the machine is restored to factory settings the partition will be reformated and so I did. But, after the restoration...My C drive is showing...

Total space 31.5GB
Free Space 25.1GB

The total disk space should be around 51GB I suppose.
Where is my other 20GB of space which the service partition was occupying?

WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET BACK THE PRECIOUS 20+ GB DISK SPACE?

I would highly apprciate anyone helping me out with detailed procedure to recover that 20GB space.

Hard Drive details: 60GB 7200RPM drive

I can think of three possibilities:

1. Make all folder/files visible and delete by hand any RR related backup files (a bit dangereous).

2. Run R&R delete all backups you have created.

3. If you have the recovery CDs: delete all parititions and run the CDs, don´t forget to change the boot order first.
