-- Posted by BBallAsh23 at 8:40 am on Dec. 31, 2006 Hey, So to make a long story short... My laptop HD had failed so they sent me a new one and it installed perfectly fine. My only question is that... before this happen when I opened my computer... under hard disk drives it showed two of them C and I think D perhaps? and D was maybe a 10GB one and it had like windows files on it... Where has C didn't have much on it except my program files and what not you know... So how can I get my D back? It automatically installed everything on to the C HD... the C HD is a 100GB well it says 92.1GB... So where is the rest of my space at... Is it hidden or something? Any ideas... If you don't know then don't reply to my topic. kk thanks. -- Posted by CyberNetMan at 8:43 am on Dec. 31, 2006 -- Posted by Spuddlesworth at 8:47 am on Dec. 31, 2006 It sounds to me that your previous hard disc was partitioned.  This means that the space of your hard disc is sort of split in two so that your computer "sees" it as two drives... although in reality all the data is stored on the same physical hard drive.  Your new hard disc is not partitioned so your computer sees it as one drive, although the total file space of your new C: is equal to the space of both your old C: and D:. I think you can partition your hard drive in the Windows setup (when you first install Windows, so this may not do you much good now).  There's a program called Norton Partition Magic which might do what you're looking for. The reason that your C drive says that it is 92.1 GB as opposed to 100 GB is that 100 GB is the maximum space of the drive prior to formatting.  Your hard drive has since been formatted (which makes it possible to actually store files on it) and this results in a slightly smaller "useable" capacity. -- Posted by kmuss at 8:50 am on Dec. 31, 2006 call them and ask them -- Posted by BBallAsh23 at 8:53 am on Dec. 31, 2006 Hmm alright, I suppose I will just let it be for now... Wouldn't want to risk messing it up or anything. Tis not a good idea to punch a laptop. Lol. -- Posted by Cunning Stunt at 9:06 am on Dec. 31, 2006 -- Posted by FurryPanther at 5:09 pm on Jan. 6, 2007 -- Posted by BBallAsh23 at 5:11 pm on Jan. 6, 2007
