Delete Hidden Partition On FE

[libertyct]

i ahve been trying to delete that 6 gig partition for a couple days now, the right click wont give me the delete option, it just says 'help' how can i delete the partition without reinstalling the OS. I just installed vista over the weekend and rather not go through the whole process of reinstalling again

Right Click? What exactly do you mean...if I understand best are you talking about my Computer?

One of the easiest way to delete the partition, is to use the "Recovery Disks" that you should have made. Boot with them and keep pressing next till you can select the option of "Delete Recovery Disk". That will delete it. Im not sure but perhaps you could use PartitionMagic (not free) to delete it.

Oh that wont allow you, and I think its because of the security issues. The only way would be to use the Recovery Disks then as my earlier post said.
