    ''Also what kind of machine is it ?'' built by my self using ASUS 89GTD PRO/USB3 mobo. And the Recovery folder is empty actually :S, and yes i tried to do a backup before but had to little space.

    Also a screenshot of my disc management, ignore CoD would you.. :) And of what happens when I try to open the SupahComputah file. The SupahComputah is roughly translated to as a Safety Copy (Säkerhetskopian), though looking at properties for SupahComputah it says it's 0 bytes. I am puzzled by all of this :O, note that I have the option 'Show hidden files/folders' on.

    VLC will associate itself with .bin files, if you let it - that's why the icon is there. Not a problem.

    Try showing protected operating system files ( it's in folder options )

    When you built your rig, did you use a old HD from a OEM manufacturer's PC. (like Dell)

    Oh yes, Theog, it is a HD from a Dell OEM computer actually :)
    SIW2, I'll try that.

    Thanks.

    Would like to know what is inside the "Recovery" folder and boot folder.


    You will be able to see the sizes then.

    Type Disk Management in Start Search box, maximize it's window, take a Snip of the full drive map with listings showing all columns clearly.

    Once you unhide System Files do you see all of the subfolders in the SupaComptah backup file which was incorrectly saved to the Recovery Partition? This alone may be what is clogging the partition, however post back the contents of the Recovery folder as requested.

    Disk Mgmt?

    What is the reason you've saved the Recovery Partition from another computer? Why not delete it to recover the disk space once we confirm it does not hold the Active System boot files?

    Your Win7 Backup Image is best saved externally in case of HD failure, but you could also keep the partition to store the backup if needed.

    Greg,

    In case you missed it - I asked to see inside those folders - curious to see how the oem have done it.

    Thanks Shife.
