Hello shamrock838,
The Recovery E as pointed out by Bob has the recovery partition in it.
This is useed to Restore the computer back to the factory settings when you need it.
I would suggest you not to use the Recovery "E" as it will be useful for you in the future.
Thanks,
Dell-Anish
I have a Dell Vostro 420 Desktop computer (circa 2006) with the following hard drive configuration:
Drive C - Vista Business 32 Operating System (Service Pack 2). Used for system and program files, etc.
Drive D - "Datapart1". Used for created files
Drive E - "Recovery". Have never used this and wouldn't know how or why I would do so.
Drive O - External drive added for supplemental storage, etc.
Here are the current usage statistics as of today.
Drive Capacity Used Space Free Space Comments
C 59.9 GB 59.5 GB 467 MB Free Space is L-O-W as MB, not GB.
D 395.0 GB 208.0 GB 187.00 GB
E 9.99 GB 7.87 GB 5.12 GB This drive never used.
O 931.0 GB 132. GB 798.00 GB External HD
For backup purposes I subscribe online to Carbonite Home Plus.
