I just reformatted my laptop. It is a compaq v2030us. It was a hard recovery and it wiped everything clean but for some reason the C: drive still had all of my old program folders in there even though they werent in my programs menu or the desktop. I installed all of my programs... maybe one gig MAX (spybot, gmail notifier, etc.) nothing major and then I went to do a disk defrag and it says free space is 29.5/55gb!!! This strikes me as VERY odd. I cant figure it out. I have a 60gb hard drive. I tried the temps, recycle bin, all the obvious stuff and I dont know where the rest is. Even before the recovery I didnt have that much. The recovery disk I used started from windows autoplay and then went to restart and go into that blue screen. Is it possible that windows partioned all my old files somewhere? Where would they have gone?
Thanks
