So, recently, I got my laptop back, and it had a HP_SCRATCH primary partition when I looked at the computer thing on it. Can I delete it, since I want to dual boot vista, with 7. (My laptop can work with 7). Pictures included. Some things are removed for privacy reasons.

Hello Dark Player,

You might want to check what is inside that partition, to make sure that no necessary files will be deleted. Otherwise, you should be able to remove the partition.


Below are the steps for the deletion of a partition.

WARNING This process will remove any and all data located in that partition, and you might want to verify that nothing you want will be deleted.

The steps for this can be found here: Deleting a hard disk parition

Enjoy!

There is LITERALLY NOTHING INSIDE IT. For some odd reason, it says it is taking up about 6GB in that part.

Here is the inside of HP_SCRATCH. There is nothing. That blank thing on the folders side with no words next to a picture was edited out, because it has my name on it.
