    Hewlet Packard Enormous Recovery System

    Have a friend that has one of the newer HP's which uses 8GB for a recover system and it's always saying it's low on space. Went online for a solution and found that it's a major problem requiring some sort of partition or another hard drive alltogether. Since the system itself has over 170 GIGS of free harddrive space why is the 8 gigs of recovery system a problem?

    Is it saying it's low on memory while the system is running or low on harddrive space?

    If it's low on memory then perhaps he needs to lower the amount of space the recover system saves. 8GB, first of all, is ALOT. I don't see the need for a recover system to worry about that much gigs of harddrive space. Maybe someone will disagree with me and show me why, but from my experience 8 gigs is overboard.

    If it's low on harddrive space then yes, there is a problem. I don't understand how something like that could happen, but I'd contact the manufacturer to resolve the issue.
