I have a 531 desk top and have a question regarding the interior of the desk top.
If I click on computer in windows vista it shows three partitions. Question one should there be three partitions?

OS (C) 149 of 215GB free

dell backup D 71.8 of 72GB free

Recovery E 384 of 9.99 GB free

It was shipped this way.
The recovery partition is red and has been this way since it was powered on. Ther is no space left in recovery and it is new.

I ordered a raid 1 array. I think they futsted it up, again.
can someone tell me if there is supposed to be 3 partitions. I think I know that the E should not be full on start up.
