Installation partition
Hello everyone, I have come across a weird problem (or at least have searched for hours and not found anyone with the same problem) I installed Windows 7 Home premium this morning on my new computer, its a brand new hard drive that was completly formatted, everything went well but once the installation was done i went to My Computer and it says "0.98gb free of 1.36tb" But i have nothing on the computer, so i checked for partitions ect in computer management and find i only have 216mb unallocated space. I have been searching for a fix all night and in the end decided maybe it would be best to full format and reinstall windows but i cant format the HDD and when i run the windows disk it does not even find the HDD anymore. I was hoping someone here knows how to fix this or has had the same problem in the past, any help would be great, thank you.
[Also] Okay through computer managment i have found 1.3tb of the hard drive is "Primary Partition" for System,boot,pagefile.. and so on and as you cant delete a partition that is system im stuck, i have tried shrinking it but it will not let me do that either and because of how big the primary partition is i dont have enough room to move all the system files.
