Have you ever bought a new computer running on windows 8 and found that
there isn't a lot of storage space available although you got a large hard disk
space, well this maybe because of two reasons the firs:- maybe your
computer have a windows recovery image (ISO file) that occupy alot of space
OR the second reason:- your system supplier included their own recovery
partition. Now it's possible to take full control of your hard drive by claiming
back the non-windows partitions.
Note:-First of all you must backup your private data.
After backing up your data, If your computer supplier has included their
recovery partition you can wipe out the partition using a tool called EaseUs
Partition Master this tool is free of charge, it's possible to delete unwanted
partitions and resize the others to occupy the remained space of your hard
disk.
P.S:-It's possible to delete the unwanted partitions using a built in tool
called "Windows's Disk Management Tool", but it will be impossible to resize
the remaining partitions.
Before you do start deleting any partitions, it’s important to take the time to
ensure that you do have other options available to you. Use the method built
into Windows to create a recovery USB drive, or follow your computer
supplier’s instruction for turning the recovery partition they have created into
a recovery DVD or USB drive.
Download and install a copy of the program and then fire it up. Click the
Partition Manager button and once your drives have been analyzed, they will
be listed. Right click on the partition you’d like to remove, select the Delete
Partition option and click OK to confirm.
No changes are made to your hard drive at this stage, and you can queue up
a couple of operations to be performed one after the other. Now right click
your C: drive and select the ‘Resize/Move partition’ option.
Drag the left hand node of the partition bar all the way to the left so that it
occupies all available space and then click OK.
Click the Apply button in the main program toolbar and you can sit back and
wait while the tool works its magic. Just how long you have to wait will
depend largely on the amount of data you have stored on your hard drive, but
when it is done you will have regained full control of your drive and will be in
a position to put your own recovery plan in place, whether that involves
using a backup tool or a disk imaging utility.
