W7 prep - Vista reinstall - missing 10GB
Hi all,
My Vista over the last 1-2 years has been performing badly, I mean *really* badly. Think my HD was a bit messed up. Anyway, in prep for W7 install, I decided to get a new (blank) internal HD. I installed Vista Ultimate onto a 50GB partition (it took a lot of time and effort since I only have the Vista upgrade disc, so had to install trial version first, then the full version over it).
It took 3 days of installation and the joy of experiencing 113 updates, but alas all is well and, shockingly, Vista is performing grandly on my new HD (I am relishing boot up of less than 7 minutes!).
Anywho, I noticed that of my original 50GB partition, it says I only have 18GB free (i.e., 32GB used). However, the entire Windows folder only has 22GB in it. So what is taking up the other 10GB? Where did it go? I cant find it anywhere or account for it. I of course already deleted "Windows.old" which had the Vista Trial version on it.
Before my W7 install, I want to account for all of my drive space. Does anyone have thoughts what or where that 10GB is?
P.S. as of now everything is total stock install, no 3rd party apps etc.
Thanks in advance!
