Re: Orphan Data Strip After Defragmentation
Hi,
You haven't given an details of the make of computer or hard drive. I suspect however that the "extra" partition" is a recovery partition, normally hidden, installed by your computer manufacturer on build. Many machines don't come with software to re-install, they just have a recovery partition which can be accessed to rebuild the machine. hth Ceri |
