How can I &quot;DISABLE&quot; the dell recovery partition on a Dell optiplex 755? ... <br />
<br />
No. There is no option to DISABLE it, but you can remove it as described by Demos3000 and cincojones.<br />

Disable? Take a (ghost) image first, then remove it as mentioned above. Available then if needed.<br />

Actually on thinking about it, I think I may have inadvertently done this in the past, so might be worth a try (after taking an image). If you boot to an XP CD recovery console and fixmbr, I suspect this will remove access to the partition. Using Boot Magic later to set the recovery partition active should allow you to boot into recovery.<br />

Partition Magic (and some other partitioning utilities) have an option to &quot;Hide&quot; a partition. That would effectively disable it without removing it.

How can I disable the dell recovery partition on a Dell optiplex 755 ?

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
