Initial install partion

Hi all,

My first post here...
I joined the forum in hopes of not needing help, but a day after installing a Win 7 upgrade over Vista, I'm seeing something that doesn't look right. Right now I'm showing my C drive as 3.13gb available of 14.6gb and the D drive says 268gb available of 283gb. It appears that the D drive is stuff left over form Vista, and the small C partition has all the current stuff. I'm guessing I made a mistake on the install. Is there a fix?

Post a screen shot of your Disk Management so we can see what is happening.

As ignatzatsonic said we need a screen shot.

It looks as though Windows 7 has tried to install to your recovery partition, which is far too small - Microsoft recommend a minimum of 20GB to install Windows 7.

Personally, I think you should forget an upgrade and go for a clean install instead - you are far less likely to encounter problems.

And yes, you can do a clean install with an upgrade disc, as this tutorial explains.

Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version

Thanks for the quick replies! I think I'm going to try the clean install, since don't have any data on the machine and haven't loaded much software yet. I'll report back. Thanks.

OK, I'm sure you won't regret it.

Don't hesitate to post back if you need further help, and in any event, do let us know how you get on.

Thanks for the help!

You're very welcome.

I assume a clean install did the trick?
