Title: Xpress Recovery2
Post by: fadsarmy on January 06, 2010, 11:36:16 am

I just thought I'd give Xpress Recovery2 a try and it worked well. I reserved a 30GB partition for it.

I now have a problem. I cannot get rid of that partition. Even after deleting the partition in dos and formatting the whole HDD ,the partition and/or back up image is still there and I can restore my hard drive by it. I am baffled as to why this is?

I deleted the hidden partition and then did a full format but the image was still there. Strange?

Gigabyte states:

" Initial access by booting from CD-ROM and subsequent access by pressing the F9 key."

But I need to use CD everytime?
