I'm bad at coming up with simple titles, but at least you know what you are getting into. Like I said, I've already cloned the contents of the HDD onto the SSD and have booted from it successfully. Now I'm just wanting to double check that it's safe to delete the old partitions on the other hard drive. And on a sidenote, is it normal for the recovery partition to be 3 GB? Only reason I bring it up is when I've done these reformats in the past, I've only seen them around 500 MB so just seemed odd to be so large.

Edit: Forgot to mention, when I went to format, it said it was in use, despite being 100% positive the computer booted from the SSD.
