I recently purchased a laptop from Bestbuy. However when i got home i realized that the laptop came with no recovery Cd's. Apparently they allocated 13gb of my entire HD and made a separate drive specifically for recovery purposes. I however do that need this. I quickly went to disk management and found the driver and formatted it. However I do not get an option to re merge it with my C drive. The "extend driver" option is grayed out when i try to right click the 13gb of free space. Is there some other way that I can re merge this driver back onto my C drive?
To reclaim the 13GB of space you will need to go back into disk management and delete the 13GB volume (so it appears black / unallocated), then right click the drive you want to extend, it should no longer be greyed out.
