I have 3 partitions on my drive. One is 1.46gb ,and I assume it to be basic Windows recovery. It's marked as "active, recovery."
The second is C: Main partition.
And the 3rd is called HDDrecovery. It is 13.73 gb in size. After mounting it, I find a ton of files that mean nothing to me, except that they say Toshiba, microsoft, or Quanta. I'm assuming this is the "out of the box" manufacturer recovery tool.
I have Windows 7 OS on a usb stick for recovery or installation. So I'm wondering if I also need the HDDrecovery as well.
I'm considering deleting it, and using the space for a 2nd O.S in dual boot. My concern is there might be some special Toshiba device commands etc. that are in there.
