Can I Remove This "Recovery Partition?"
Since I started using my own computer, there's been the Windows Partition, and this other partition that the Boot Manager refers to as "System Restore." Loading it would take me to a screen telling me that I should press the green button to revert my system back its original Windows XP installation. Obviously I don't want that so I push the red one. The original XP installation was on a Dell manufactured machine, "Precision Workstation 390."
This partition has been around for years because I've cloned my disk to upgrade it in various ways such as capacity and now to an SSD. Even though I've only had one Windows version on here at a time, it always brought up the Boot Manager with "Windows ____" and "System Restore." I just removed it from Boot Manager through msconfig since I don't need it. However, the partition I assume that it's on still remains visible in Disk Management.
I want to remove this partition from the SSD to take advantage of the extra 400 megabytes, but don't want to mess something up and prevent Windows from booting. Since it says "Recovery," I halfway think that it's what the Recovery Environment is stored on, but also that it's for the "Revert to XP" menu. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
