I'm broadening the subject a bit, but my problem has always been trying to grab back some of drive C. I always partition into 3 logical drives, but it seems there are files at the furthest reaches of C that won't be budged - well, not by the layman - and it is these that prohibit the smallerization.

A method of easily recapturing C would be appreciated.


So many manufacturers now put junk into D - basically seizing it as their own, and for me, that's a non-starter. I won't buy the kit. Sony so far have put a hidden partition which some utilities reveal as being at the outer edge of the disc. Wherever it is, it works for me.

Not having a OS disc is a pain, because Recovering with a home made disc seems to remove one's partitions. And put the junk back on. Yes, you, Mr HP.
