Re-installing windows 7 from disk, have 3 un-needed partitions?
My computer basically crashed and I needed to re-load windows 7 from the original disk. This worked, but when I started the computer, it had 2 partitions...... C (recovery drive) and a D drive. The C drive was basically full (according to my computer) and everything that I tried to download, wanted to go onto the C drive, so basically I couldn't even download anti-virus software.
I couldn't find a way to fix this, so I re-loaded windows again, hoping to choose the option to NOT partition the hard drive. I am now at a screen that asks where do you want to install windows? My options are
Disk 0 Partition 1
Disk 0 Partition 2; RECOVERY
Disk 0 Partition 3: OS
All of these options have data on them, since they say how much free space is available on each. I am afraid if I delete the 2 partitions that I may delete something important?
If anyone has any help, I would greatly appreciate it. I have been searching, but so far have not found any help.
Thanks,
