Make at least two sets of the Recovery Discs if you want to delete the Recovery Partition.

Your Vaio will be returned to factory settings and software - so back op ALL your data. You will have to reinstall all Updates and Software.

Go to Start -> All Programs -> Vaio Recovery Tool -> Vaio Recovery Utility. Choose Recover My Computer and choose the option to Change Partition Sizes.

You have the choice of Deleting the Recovery Partition and resizing the other partitions - or even deleting the D:\ partition altogether.

Make sure you make the Recovery DVDs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
