Windows 7 showing two installed locations!
Sorry if this is a re-post but I tried searching for this problem but haven't found one exactly like this.
I recently deleted, reformatted, and installed windows 7 ultimate on my hard drive. Everything installed great and seems to run okay but I noticed there are two copies showing up in "My Computer" and Drive D: Local Disk is an exact copy of my old systems windows and program files. I can still run the programs installed on this disk. What is really odd is that my computer is showing the hard drive which has both installs of windows at 1000GB, when in reality it is only a 500GB drive. This old windows copy seems to be living on a disk that doesn't exist.
I suppose I could have reformatting wrong but I have done this many times. I deleted the old partition and re-formatted. I have no idea how this information is even still on the drive.
I also noticed that as my C drive (new install on win7) begins to be filled up with installing software the D drive is depleting. As if they are sharing the 500GB drive and windows somehow is confused and showing them separately - doubling up the hard drive space that really isnt there.
If this makes any sense and you think you can help it would be much appreciated! I figure I'm going to have to re-install windows again but if I somehow missed something I don't want to run into a system with 3 installs of windows 7. Thanks!
