Hi all, I've recently put a new hard drive in my laptop and taken the old one and am using it as an external hard drive. Because it's from an Acer laptop it has a read only PQSERVICE partition used for backups.
Now I would like to recover the 24 gigs of hd space this is taking up. I've tried to use GParted to re-format this space but get an blank error box coming up then a warning box stating: "At least one operation was applied to a busy device. A busy device is a device with at least one mounted partition. Because making changes to a busy device may confuse the kernel, you are advised to reboot your computer." I've done a bit of a google and have come up empty handed as to how to re-format this space
