not sure if this is the case but alot of companies have a seperate partition that they store an image in
I think you've got it right there Phish. PC manufacturers lately do not supply a recovery disc but instead have a "hidden" image on your hard drive to restore your system to the state when you first bought it.
ok not with that out of the way can you fdisk it and make one big drive if you will change the os for good. Or does it have some other company crap that needs to be there...because I reformatted my friends drive and did not del this HP partition because I didn't want to screw anything up
People I only have one partition in my Hard drive and this problem exclude the recovery because it's come in a CD, help or i I will have to fomart my disk,
its hidden the partition that is
hello
open windows explorer
goto tools/folder options/view
select show hidden files and folders
uncheck hide protected operating system files
you should find your missing space
now get this program to see whats using all that space
