Computer advice require?

I was wondering about my recovery drive D on the pc, it indicates 901 MB free of 4.95GB. Am I suppose to reduce this or leave the recovery D alone.Computer advice require?
leave it as it is


it is there to use if your pc crashes and you need to formatComputer advice require?
It's a mixed argument really. It basically has files on there which are used if you are ever required to use the Recovery CD which was supplied with your PC. The files from the recovery drive are used to replace damaged ones on the C: Drive.





The D drive shouldn't ever get full because the PC doesn't use the D drive by default. The only time I've seen problems was with a PC which was, for some reason, set up to use the C: drive as recovery and a D partition for the Operating System and even when the default drive was changed, it still used the recovery drive by default to install programs and loads of problems happened :P.





Either way, the Recovery D: part isn't a 'Drive' as such, it is a partition, which means that a section of space on the hard drive has been split from the main hard drive, in order to create a separate area for recovery. You should leave it there as you probably won't ever need that spare space. In the long run though you are much better off with an actual Windows installation CD because the recovery files have a funny thing about 'not working' when you need them to.





If the case ever occurs when you have a copy of Windows and perform a fresh installation using the actual Windows disk, you will encounter a screen showing you the hard drive and the partitions it is split in to. In which case you will delete both partitions and make it all as one big partition and claim back the 5GB :P.





Until then, it will most likely live out it's days as decoration haha.
100% leave the recovery partition as it is.
