Hi,

 

You can remove the HP_TOOLS partition as follows.

 

Hold down the Windows key and press R.  Type diskmgmt.msc and hit enter.

 

In the lower ( graphical ) pane showing the partitions, right click the HP_TOOLS partition and select Delete Volume.

 

When done, this will leave an entry for 'Unallocated Space'.

 

You can then right click the C partition and select Extend Volume to add the Unallocated Space back to the C partition.

 

Regards,
