Ok........so go to it
Do a google for BooItNG....download and extract to a floppy.
read the readme file...better print it out and follow the instruction
carefully to add that recovery partition to the XP partition and create one
big partition.
OR.........leave it as a seperate partition,format the present files off it
and use it as a data partition.You can install new programs onto that
partition by modifying the Install to section when it pops up during
installation.This would give you a partition where if something does go
wrong it would not be returned to factory specs and your data files would be
safe.
Have you looked at Adimistrative Tools/etc/etc ??????
