Is it safe to delete pqservice partition and keep c(acer) and d(acerdata)?
I dont need pqservice for restoring my system, becasuse i have norton ghost.
I heard that deleting pqservice may cause problems to start windows, boot.ini failures etc...

well, if you don't plan to reinstall Windows it's not a good idea to delete that partition... something's stored there and your win won't start without it...

but if you plan to reinstall win... go ahead and delete that partition.. my opinion is that it's there for nothing.... only waste of space
