How can i completely remove the recovery partition?

Hi, i own an HP notebook model Pavilion 15-e070sl and i want to know how i can remove the recovery partition. I just performed a clean install from my System Recovery DVDs and i don't need the recovery partition anymore (since i got those DVDs), so i decided to delete it from the HP Recovery app; now the data has been deleted but i have a 17GB circa unallocated space on the disk, and i'd like to merge it with C to get some more space, but i don't know how to do it. I tried with thw windows disk management and i can't, i tried with easeus partition master but after moving those two little partitions before the unallocated space or even deleting them (see the pic http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/6928/1lge.png) i can't expand C: to get rid of the unallocated space.
Any suggestion?

Hi,
Assuming E: is the Recovery Partition. Please try:
Right-click Computer > Manage > Storage > Disk Management, then right-click the graphic of the E partition and select Delete. The partition returns to Unallocated for a Primary Partition or Free Space if it‘s a Logical Drive within an Extended Partition. Delete the partition if it is an Extended partition.
Now right-click the graphic of the C partition and select Extend. 
Note: C and E must be sitting next to each other.
Regards.

  • How can I completely remove the add-on/extension GreatArcadeHits that sneaked in when I tried to download something from Cnet.

    Firefox automatically disabled it, which is fine as I never wanted it. Now I want it completely cleared out of my computer. It was one of a load of garbage that installed while the program I did want failed to install. I've read all the questions and posts about the same issue with TopArcadeHits (which I guess is the same thing with an older name), which sneaked in through a site other than Cnet.
    Anyway, I couldn't understand much of what was replied with regard to TopArcadeHits and was scared to go directly to its own (GreatArcadeHits) website as some people suggested. I'm not a all technically sophisticated or comfortable. I'm in need of Instruction for Idiots and hope so much that someone will be kind and patient in replying. Thank you.
    I use Firefox in Windows 7

    Hi,
    Please see http://malwaretips.com/blogs/greatarcadehits-virus-removal/ for removal information.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can i completely remove the unwanted sync "feature"?

    i hate this stupid "feature". My tablet and desktop do NOT fill the same function, and do NOT need to share bookmarks. I don't want to lose Firefox from my android, but it looks like it's the only way to get rid of this unwanted intrusion.

    Thanks for that, but Firefox for Android sticks a very large banner across the start-up screen of my tablet. It's an irritant, which I suppose was the objective of the developer, but I really want rid of it. Surely the design isn't so sloppy that there's no switch/flag to permanently prevent the nag??

  • How can I completely remove failed App Store downloads?

    I have two purchases from the app store that have failed - they will not complete no matter what I try. How can I completely remove them to start again? Thanks,

    is what I'm staring at. I've tried all sorts and this is where I get. No errors. No messages. Nothing.
    What is this machine doing and why isn't it simple to clear the cache/temp files and go again with the download?

  • How can I completely remove my App Store purchases ?

    How can I completely remove my App Store purchases ? I delete certain apps from the iPod but they still are listed under 'purchased apps'.
    I need to completely remove then from history as well

    You can't permanently delete any items from you purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading : hiding and unhiding.

    How can I completely remove a plug-in from Aperture 2.4. Installing latest plug-in from HDR does not register with Aperture.

    It is not a good idea, to manually delete registry keys. Java uninstaller removes all registry entries that are needed to perform clean future installation.
    You might see some of the keys not removed by Java unistaller but they do not prevent any user from doing fresh installation of Java in future.
    Java removal tool is currently being developed, but that is for removing old/unsecure and unsupported Java versions. The tool isn't really intended to remove current/above security baseline versions of Java.
    Also, the tool does a standard un-install using msiexec /x. It won't specifically delete registry keys - it lets msiexec do it.

  • How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

    How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

    iTunes, along with Quick Time, iCloud, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support and Apple Application Support can all be removed from your PC by uninstalling them using 'Uninstall or change a program' in Control Panel. The only obvious thing that will be left behind is your iTunes library which remains untouched. If you want to remove that as well it's just a question of deleting it.
    Hope that helps.

    You can't. Default Apple Apps cannot be removed. If you sign out of your Apple Id in Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID then the iPad will have no knowledge of your Phone number.

  • HT4007 I have just transferred all my raw, jpeg & tiff files into LR4 and using to opportunity to delete old raw files to free up disc space. How can i completely remove a raw file from my msc disc??

    I have just transferred all my raw, jpeg & tiff files into LR4 and using the  opportunity to delete old raw files to free up disc space. How can i completely remove a raw file from my mac disc??

    I'd be careful here: LR references files. It can copy them, like from an SD card to your hard drive, but it doesn't necessarily make duplicates. So when you say you "transferred" those files "into" LR it just means you referenced existing files. And if you delete those they're gone, unless you've made copies. LR does not import files by copying them into a managed library like Aperture does.

  • How can I completely wipe the hard drive with out the Mac OS X disc? I don't need any of the info on the computer.

    How can I completely wipe the hard drive with out the Mac OS X disc? I don't need any of the info on the computer.

    You can't unless you have a bootable system on an external drive you can use. Otherwise, you need either the original disc that came with your computer or a retail copy of Snow Leopard DVD. The latter contains 10.6.3, so your model must be capable of booting from that or an earlier version of OS X.
    You can purchase replacement discs from Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.

  • How do I COMPLETELY erase the Windows partition from OS X?

    I am a frequent Windows user due to the fact that the software I frequently used is Windows-based. Ive been using boot camp since last summer and since then have had to reformat and reinstall windows twice due to malware/spyware taking over my computer. Ive again suffered from some serious malware issues lately that have just absolutely raped the Windows registry. It got bad enough that my school has recently contacted me to inform me of some hackers that they detected accessing my computer while I was connected to their wireless network. As a result, the only way to eliminate these threats is by reinstalling everything all over again. Its a complete hassle, but its the only way around it unfortunately.
    My question is... this time around, I want to be absolutely CERTAIN that this harddrive is 100% rid of any sort of spyware, malware, viruses, whatever, before I continue to install a fresh copy of Windows. Last time I did this I used the Boot Camp application in OS X to remove the Windows partition and create a fresh one. Is this the best way of going about cleaning the harddrive? I feel like it was too fast and too simple to truly be erasing ALL of the Windows garbage.
    Thanks for your help!
    P.S. I know this isnt the place but if anyone has any good suggestions on how to keep Windows secure and free of attackers any advice is greatly appreciated!

    I've experimented some with "what to install when" but I use Vista 64-bit which out of the box is at least somewhat more secure.
    Questions I asked myself, install Apple Boot Camp 2.x first, early on, as soon as possible to get HAL support and other things?
    Power went out and Vista thought my system was a laptop because it could 'see' I had a large 1 hr runtime UPS, so installing APC PowerChute is first and must, and I've seen power blips often enough.
    From my reading, the time for a base install of XP SP1 to infection - default install from CD - is about 15 minutes, what is called a "honey pot" to attract and see what gremlins are out there. And there are a LOT of bots and malware out there. 2008 saw a huge jump in SQL-injection malware, and this winter saw some new strains.
    SuperAntiSpywear - just bought it to put on my Windows 7 system, about the only such program that works without BSOD or interfering with W7 (Kaspersky, Norton, both beta editions, still have trouble).
    Use your router's firewall to harden and lock down your system from 'knocks' on the door, remote login, inbound AND outbound services and to close your ports.
    XP SP3 should be more secure out of the box but I've never used it.

    Removing partition tables should be fast. It doesn't erase anything. If you are concerned or the MBR was compromised then you would need to reformat the entire drive, which would have to remove OS X as well.

  • [F8] Tree Component: How can I hide/remove the scrollbar and border?

    I'm using the Tree Component in my Flash 8 Pro - Project. I'm
    trying to customize the look of the Tree component in two ways:
    1. Is there any way to remove the scrollbar from the Tree
    Component?
    2. Can I also remove the Border from the Tree Component?
    I checked the Component Inspector and couldn't find any
    options for the scrollbar nor the border.
    Does anyone know how to do this or could you point me in the
    right direction?
    Thanks

    You can use the Status-4-Evar extension to replace some functionality that was lost withthe removal of the Status bar in Firefox 4.
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" after you have installed the Status-4-Evar extension and drag the items (Status Text, Progress Meter, Download Status) upon the Add-ons Bar (View > Toolbars > [X] Add-on Bar)
