[lucas_06]

Hi, i have a Vaio VGN-N21M. My disk space is 1000 Gb.
In Disk Management a see 2 partition, classic C (83 gb) and a partition with non letter, called Integred - EISA Configuration (9 gb??).
What is this partition?
What is used for?
Can I delete it and create a new usable partition??

Hi lucas_06,

Welcome to Club Vaio,

The eisa partition is a hidden Recovery partition..

This allows you to recover your Vaio back to the original factory set pre-insatlled operating setting and applications, also you can create a set of recovery disc's by running the Vaio recovery utiltity..

You can if you wish delete the recovery partition , but, if the recovery disc's that you created fail to work, or the CD/dvd drive fails you will be unable to restore your Vaio..

Hi lucas_06,

You should also have a D drive..?

I have a feeling Sony have dispensed with the 😧 Drive on the new models?

I think they come with just C: and the Recovery Partition.
