In disk management it's showing I have 3 partitions/volumes; one unlabelled of 6.99GB, and empty, that's in EISA (what's that?) configuration. C drive is 16.29GB with 47% free and is the boot drive, D drive is 32.60GB but is showing as only having 3.72GB free, yet I don't have anything left installed, no music, pics, videos, documents. How can this be right and how do I rectify it?<BR />2. How can I re-format this D drive? In disk manegement it won't allow me the option, showing that it has the system files on it.<BR />Thanks all!<BR /> :smileygrin:<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:27:11 GMT Wander 2008-04-10T13:27:11Z Inaccurate hard drive space & reformat? https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/inaccurate-hard-drive-space-reformat/m-p/98779#M61912 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi all,<BR />Got a sexy little VGN TX2P running Vista. <BR />I think like a lot of other people I wanted to format the hard drive to wipe off the software Sony bundled onto it and also have had it for 2 years just want a clean install.<BR />I have 2 issues;<BR />1.
