When I reinstalled windows my main windows drive changed from C: to D:, and my HP recovery drive became C:. How would I go about switching it back? Booting into partition magic? Or does it not really matter if windows is not the C: drive.
Thanks!

Recovery CD's. You can reclaim that space. It will mean a reinstall.

At the first screen after CD 1 boots showing the choices: R for non-destructive recovery, F for full system recovery, or Q to quit. Press Ctrl-Backspace that gives more options to do a system recovery piece by piece.

Select to completely erase the hard drive including the recovery partition.
