I bought a PC with an advertised 80GB drive. I have 2 known partitions on the drive (C and D) But for some reason, I didn't have that 80GB, I only have just under 67GB. I know that Windows actually reads drives as GiBibytes and then mistakingly shows the GiB size as GB. (Or something like that). But that wouldn't subtract a whole 13GB from it.
But today I decided to do a little investigating on Winfows Disk Management and found something interesting...
There's a secret/ hidden partition, a THIRD one! It doesn't even have a label and it's 100% empty. So what the **** is it? It's 8GB in size. And as far as I know it's not being used for anything. So can I delete it? I need that extra space for my C: partition which only has just under 5GB free.
Also, I have Norton GoBack and used to have Norton Ghost. Could it belong to any of those programmes?
