    My HP notebook has two partitions. One for the OS and the other for the rebuild ISO.

    I've made DVD's from that iso using HP's tool but hesitant on ditching the partition.  :-\

    Can the defrag section be configured so it doesn't try to defrag the rebuild partition?

    The recovery partition is usually not visible to the operating system therefore most likely it won't be defragged. Unless you have a serious need for an extra gb or so of storage I suggest leaving the recovery partition in place.

    The log states "Not yet started" on the drive with the ISO.

    It's a standard partition with the recovery file.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I believe I found a fix.

    Within Disk Mangement, I removed the drive letter from the partition with the system rebuild ISO. That way, it doesn't show up.

    If I need it, I just give it a letter and go.
