Hello.

I've inherited a Dell that had a 10gb recovery partition on the C: drive. I have deleted the partition and would like to add the space to the C: drive.

I cannot expand the drive in Vista and I believe using Gparted is one way of doing it.

Has anyone does this? I'm a little reticent as I don't want to have to reinstall but it seems a shame to not use the space.

My drive looks like this:

42 Mb EISA | 10gb unpartitioned space | OS (C

160Gb

Are there any other methods?

Thanks very much.
