Recovery Partition suffers from Low Disk Space
At an MVP's suggestion, I did include the the Recovery Partition, "just in case."...
Think of the graphic displays when you click on "Computer" in Windows Explorer in Windows 7 as I describe the following:
In my original Hardrive, (Seagate 1.5 TB) my Recovery Partition had about 1/8 of an inch of white space, if you were to left click on "Computer" Now, on my 500 GB Samsung SSD, the same partition as a mere 20KB left. And now, I am constantly being barraged by ballon allerts saying "Low Disk Space" on the (G:) drive. "Click here to clean the drive." It's not a direct quote, but that's the general idea of the message.
If I had a dollar for every time I tried to get to that bubble before it vanished, or cleaned the drive - I use that term loosely, because there is 0 K to remove from that partition, and yet the bubble keeps on reappearing, again and again.
I had an idea I wanted to run by you guys first...
What if I did one backup "sector by sector" to preserve the size of (G:) and then removed the Sector by Sector option for the next backup? Would that work?
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
CotS

Thanks Steve. MiniTool worked to extend the partition.
The only reason I mentioned your suggestion in the first place, was to give context, and perhaps a clearer post. I'm glad I followed your advice.
