Data File Recovery

Some motherboard manufacturer advise to keep some free space at the end of hard disk for recovery of OS/Data I do not know whether it is advised by the motherboard manufacturer only or otherwise it is also recommended as a general. My question is how much space to keep free and whether it is to be kept as a partitioned or un-partitioned space.

the free space is normally kept as a D: partition (assuming that your regular hard drive partition is C:)

Most computer makers now put the recovery partition on the drive nowadays.

I would make a D: partition just big enough to place an image of your Operating system and essential files on it.
