How do I uninstall Home Server?

[Shanester]

Greetings,

I've already tried asking in the Microsoft forum.

I'm trying to uninstall Windows Home Server. I've already uninstall the Connector and software, however, I've just noticed a 20 GB partition on my laptop (drive D:) called "RECOVERY". It contains a folder called "Windows Home Server Drivers for Restore" and a readme.txt file. How do I remove the partition?

Thanks,

Shane.

Windows 7:

Click the Windows "Start" button.

Right-mouse-button click on "Computer".

Choose "Manage".

Double-click on "Storage".

Double-click on "Disk Management".

Click on the partition to select it.

Click to delete it.

If the new "free space" is at the end of the 'C:' partition, use:

 Directory of C:\Windows\System32

20/11/2010  06:24 AM           166,400 diskpart.exe

to "extend" the 'C:' partition to incorporate the 20GB into the 'C:' partition.

Instead of using diskpart, I was able to click the C: volume (still in Computer Management), click Action > All Tasks > Extend Volume..., and extend the C: volume into the empty 😧 partition.

I now have an extra 20 GB of space.

Thanks,

Shane.

Where there is a GUI, there is a way.  🙂

Good to hear that everything is OK.
