Windows 7 - Hard drive error?

Hey, i just restored my laptop with the system cd and recovery cds to the factory setup because it was so full of junk and slow. But when the setup finished, the c:/ capacity has shrunk. It was originally a 60gb drive. 40gb c:/ and 20 d:/, now its 10gb c:/ and 20gb d:/ when i select properties. anyone help?

try to look at at disk management, is it the capacity same with from properties.

I have windows xp professional on the laptop and don't know where disk managment is. Also, could this be a problem with the partition thing at the setup? could it of made my disk space smaller? please help, im new to this stuff=[

Hi.

So this is a Windows XP problem then and not a Windows 7 one? You can find your disk management by right clicking on My Computer and selecting Manage.

^^Thanks 4 that, it says that i have 9.66gb healthy-system c:/
16.81 gb healty d:/
29.32gb unallocated
94mb healthy unknown
how do i allocate the rest of it? i really only want 2 drives that use all the space

EDIT: After reading the link it doesn't help really. I think you need to create a partition with the unallocated space by right clicking on it, then try to extend it. Your best bet would be to Clean Install Windows 7.

thanks guys, problem seems resolved=]

glad hear that..sorry late reply because i'm not online. but here have many people can help you..enjoy!!
