I have a laptop with a 160 GB hard drive and when I purchased it the hard drive was divided into two partitions a C drive and a D Recovery drive. THe Recovery drive was 10GB and I wanted more space for my main drive so I shrunk the recovery drive by about 5GBs but now I can't expand the C drive to use that 5GB which is currently useless. I've been using the Disk management in Vista and my drive is NTFS. Any idea how I can get back that 5GB of space? Thanks in advance.
