Recently my Recovery partition turned red showing it was almost full. Well I have tried using disc management to extend it but it won't let me. even when i have unallocated space. the option is gray scaled. well i tried to open up the partition and do it a way an HP tech guy told me to but when i try to i get the screen that "this is a recovery manager and editing could cause you computer not to restore" then it doesn't let me do anything more. Any help would be appreciated.

Why are you saving data to the system recover drive?

Move your data to the C drive and leave the D drive alone.

By default, those partitons start at about 85% full. How/why did you add something to that partition?

i didn't add anything to that drive. i know to leave it alone. my computer messed up and created a bunch of restore junk to add to it after i did backup and all that. i talked to the tech guy and i got that problem fixed. so yeah that wasn't my fault. but now i can't delete or extend or anything to that drive and i need to so to get rid of all the messages and stuff bout it almost being full.

From what I know about those partitions, you can neither create or dlete files from them but I guess you found a way to. I would try getting to a command prompt and see what lies outside that image (check the dates on the files) to cpmare against the original and delete the newer ones.

i used a 3rd party partition editior so i was able to add 3 GB to it. its fixed now and still works perfectly.
