You should be use the Partition Magic 8 software. I removed the recovery partition by it and now I total have 80GB "fresh space". You'd better create 2 recovery DVD before you remove the Recovery Partition .

If you don't have Partition Magic 8 software. Please contact me. I'll send it to you
My e-mail: huntuibui@yahoo.com.

Hi George.m,

Back up all important data and create at least two recovery disc sets before you remove your Recovery Partition. Then make sure you recover your Vaio using the Recovery Discs that you have created, this will ensure that the disc's work correctly.. :wink:

Here is Sony's guide on removing the recovery partition..

Hi George.m,

If you use a third party program such as partition manager your data should remain intact, however, should you need to recovery your vaio in the future and discover that the Recovery Disc's you have created do not work then you would need to purchase set from Vaio-Link (approximately €112) :slight_frown:
