IIRC, I read somewhere else that Acer's eRecovery will only recover to a
partition thats the same as the default, from the factory settings. Even
converting to NTFS will cause eRecovery not to work. Again, IIRC.
What I did with my HDD configuration:
First I backed up the C partition with Ghost.
Then I used Partition magic to shrink the C partition then added the
extra to the D partition.
Then Backed up the 'new' C partition and deleted the old backup.
Then I converted the partitions to NTFS, but I don't think it matters
when you do this.
