Default How to expand Recovery console


My Vista recovery drive is almost completely full. I reduced the size of the
primary partition and now there's unused space. I can't see how to get the
Recovery drive expanded. Can anyone help?

What recovery drive is this? Is it one you created yourself purposely for
manually backing up your system or is it a recovery partition put there by
the pc manufacturer to hold the recovery copy of Vista? If the partition was
created by the manufacturer, then leave well alone.
