Installed 7 Home Prm on Del with 2 Drives. How do I clean off D Drive?
I have just installed 7 home premium of my Dell XPS computer that has two drives. Before installing Windows 7, I had XP on the C drive and all data on the D drive. After the install, my D drive lost all of my data, and ended up with Windows.old on it. I have been trying to clean off the D drive so that I can keep my personal files there. So far, I have deleted most of the Windows.old but have discovered that some systems files are in-use and will not come off. I have read a number of post on this forum that seem to be a similar problem, but am still a bit confused. Should I do a clean, format, make D inactive, or other. If I make D inactive, can I safely finish deleting the system files? Or maybe Reformat it? Here are two screen shots that I hope might help:
I hope this works. This is my first posting of this forum. Thanks for any help.
