UNSOLVED
Dell PC Restore Question
Hello!
I posted this as part of another thread, but it's so far down that I don't think anyone saw it. Any help would be appreciated!
"2. My system came with three partitions - C:\ and what appear to be two smaller hidden/unknown partitions. What are these mystery partitions all about? Does one contain restore data or OS files?
The ~35MB partition contains Dell Diagnostics which you can access at bootup for convenience. The diagnostics are available through downloads as well, however, so whether or not you keep that partition is up to you. The larger (3-4GB) partition contains the image of your system as shipped which can be used with the PC Restore utility. If you reinstall, that utility is no longer operational so you can delete the partition."

New Question: If I add a couple of partitions from the free space on C:\ and do not touch the Dell factory partitions, will I lose the functionality of the Symantec/Dell PC Restore utility? I may never entertain using it, but I always hate to lose a good thing.
By the way, I attempted to find the answer to this by searching other threads before posting. Just could find this question.
Thanks!
