How to Remove HP Recovery From a Hard Disk
HP computers routinely come with a "Recovery Partition," a section of the hard drive that is partitioned off and includes a complete copy of the operating system that you can restore on the computer should the need arise. If you want to remove this recovery partition and free up your hard drive space, you can do so. Be aware that once you remove this partition, you can no longer recover your computer from it.
