Hi,
if you want to delete the recovery partition, for example due to expand the C: drive you have to disable the recovery environment first. Disable means the Menu entry from the Bootmenu is removed.
Check if it is enabled
1 2 3 4 5 | D:\> reagentc /infoWindows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) and system reset configurationInformation: Windows RE status: Enabled |
Disable the recovery environment
1 | D:\> reagentc /disable |
Determine disk which contains the recvorey partition
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | DISKPART> list disk Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- Disk 0 Online 60 GB 1024 KB *DISKPART> select disk 0Disk 0 is now the selected disk.DISKPART> list partition Partition ### Type Size Offset ------------- ---------------- ------- ------- Partition 1 System 100 MB 1024 KB Partition 2 Reserved 16 MB 101 MB Partition 3 Primary 59 GB 117 MB Partition 4 Recovery 508 MB 59 GB |
The recovery partition is 4. Force delete the recovery partition
