vista partitions twokampers05 6/29/2007 7:04:01 PM I have windows vista home premium on an Acer Aspire 5610Z. The hard drive shows as already having two partitions (local disk D,data) and local disc C, which contains the Vista operating system and all programs. Is this normal for Vista? Disk D is virtually empty of data and has 51 GB. What is it for? Could I put another operating system on Disk D? -- twokampers05

Acer is providing you with a "recovery partition" on drive D: and somewhere in the help files you'll find information on creating a set of restore CDs that will restore your system back to it's original condition. If you make the CD set as directed, you should be able to delete the D: partition or use it for whatever purpose you chose. http://www.acerpanam.com/synapse/data/7117/documents/Acer%20eRecovery%20Management.pdf -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html
