my hp pavilion dv2500 recovery disk is full. I cannot do a backup because of this. How do I clear it and do I even want to? The laptop has system restore.
The recovery drive or partition contains the files necesaary to restore your HP computer to its original factory operating system. You should not attempt to use this partition for backup purposes. For safe backups, purchase an external hard drive. Example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148235
