Why does windows partition hard disk of 500 GB so that 60 GB fills the drive c, then d ' drive is empty (295 GB free)?

It depends entirely on the Installer Windows at your partition layout described no.1 is not standard.

By default on a totally blank disk Windows 7 installation will create two partitions. A system reservedMB 100 partition which will not have any drive letter and is not normally visible on computer. The rest of the disk will be the operating system.

Your drive C is 60GB because someone chose her for this size. It seems that if the computer has been upgraded, 60 GB would have been appropriate for Windows XP.

  • Installation of Windows 7 spans two completely separte not partitioned hard disk. How moving to a disk?

    I have two separate completely from the hard drive. It is 288 GB and the other news is 1 TB.  When I installed Windows 7 Ultimate, for some reason any, it has partially installed on both drives at the same time.  I tried to reformat the hard drive of 288 GB, but can only a part of the Windows installation on this disk! How can question, I put it completely on a hard drive in Windows 7?  I know what is happening, because when I unplug a hdd, leaving a connected, it does not start upward because he needs a startup disc.  Other, similarly, said that the part of the windows installation is not available because there was a change of hard disk.  So, how I move everything that is on one of the disks to consolidate in the first hard drive?

    I unplug the 1 TB hard drive, then try to install the disk of 288 GB. Then you can attach the 1 TB of disk after installation.

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    Hello texcajun, you should be aware that the Windows operating system will only allow a maximum of 4 primary partitions.

    Your hard drive has probably already created 3 partitions. It is more likely is the 100 MB system partition, the partition C:\ and the D:\ Recovery partition.

    It may be possible to create additional logical partitions, linked to the primary partitions.

    Just some thoughts.

    What is the certificate of authenticity for Windows?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-the-Windows-certificate-of-authenticity

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
