i have a hp pavilion dv2000 with xp on it, i found out i have a 10gb recovery
partition, i went through the administration tools in control panel and used
computer management then disk managment. i right-click on the recovery
partition and click delete. the partition disappeared and i restarted the
computer to find that the partition had vanished but i did not get the
partition memory to use for my self. i look at the capacity of the hard drive
and it shows 74gb, but i shows the total size of 64gb, which excludes my
partition which has disappeared. i would like to find out how to recover that
unused space for myself. i do not want to reformat my hard drive as that will
cost me $AU100. thanks for any help.

you do realise that the "recovery partition" that you deleted held every
program that you purchased with the machine including the operating system??
I do hope that you have some sort of recovery option in case your XP
crashes...Like a complete image of the HD...another copy of XP on a CD??

You either create a new partition with the free space, using the tools in
Disk Management, or you use a third party tool, eg Partition Magic to expand
your existing partition. You cannot do this in Win.
Having deleted the recovery partition I hope you have recovery disks.
Why should it cost you to format your drive, unless of course you have no
recovery disks?

If you have the recovery disks you look online on HP site for the recovery
procedures
