That is bizarre. I have never seen that before, because in order for a partition to be made off of a hard disk, it needs to have a volume. All I can say is to try to go into Disk Management and see if it even shows up. If it doesn't, then I dunno what to tell you. |

But I have no idea why it shows up as 0bytes or even shows up at all... |

Weird issue. Seems Windows just messed itself up. Windows is crap, things like that happen.
What I suggest: 1. Try to remove it as Gywall suggested. 2. If you can't, just don't care about it. Leave it alone and see. 3. If it causes trouble, reformat and reinstall Windows. 4. If it comes back after a reformat/reinstall, buy a new computer. 5. If it comes back after that, shoot yourself. Okay, the 4. and 5. are a bit extreme Please avoid following them unless it's really needed. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

I don't think my laptop even had a recovery partition on it, not that it mattered anyway because as soon as I got it, I bumped up to Vista Business from Home Premium anyway, making the recovery partition moot to begin with. If it pops up in my Windows 7 suddenly after nearly 2 years since buying the computer and never seeing it, only then will I be even slightly concerned, because I would just delete the volume off of it and expand either C:\ or E:\ over it. |

Idea: Why don't I just deleate it, I have a Windows 7 DVD anyway...
And also because I'm "sort of" running out of space ☻ |

Your Windows 7 partition unnerves me... You need more than the minimum requirement on the partition to run an OS effectively. |

Posted by paulguy That might be a good idea... I think I still have the Windows 7 Beta and RC ISOs laying around there... |

Posted by Trelior Allright. Not to mention that some installation programs don't let you choose a place for installing the program or, like VS2010's installation program, they do, but still put a lot of stuff in C:\. So you'd better format that Vista partition and expand C:\ to it. Don't have any regrets doing so. Vista is crap compared to Seven. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

Uh, MM, it looks like most of his actual (non-OS) data is in the Vista partition, so formatting it would be... a rather bad idea, unless he's going to back-up 120GB suddenly. ____________________ |

Oops. Missed that. I'm stupid sometimes, really
This is the real problem. He should have made a bigger partition for Seven to begin with. Like, half the HDD for Vista and the other half for Seven. Now, unless he can backup all those data somewhere, he's going to have trouble fixing this. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |
