Cloning / Deleting HP Recovery Partition
Hi All
I am one of those people who HATE HP / Compaq "recovery" partitions. Whenever I come across a PC that has one, I usually try to find a way to get rid of it. However, I've come across a strange thing this time. A friend has an old Celeron 1.3 HP that has the recovery partition BEFORE the main Win XP NTFS partition - never seen that before! If I try to clone only the NTFS partition, I get jibberish. I seem to HAVE to copy BOTH partitions. Is there no way to get rid of this poxy recovery partition? Now before you ask, the reason I haven't just done a clean install is that the friend has a plethora of downloaded and "got from a friend" progs installed, and it would take far too much time to recover them all. So, I need to be able to keep things "intact".
Suggestions?
Regards
Peter
