Dear All,

I just want to ask, since I don't know what to do yesterday about my 2 local disk partition, I decided to re-install the OS, and delete all the local partition that I have. What's left to me is the C:\ drive, I lost the drive that has a 7.8 MB free space. Is there a way I can retrieve it?

Thank you very much.

You didn't lose it. You have just one physical hard drive. Before you formatted, it was partitioned to appear as two (C & D). Look at the capacity of C now: it should show a total equal to the total capacity of C & D before you formatted.

Moved from new thread:

Hi,

I really thought that way. But when i check the contents of the remaining local disk it is still the same. I mean before i formatted the contents of d:\ drive is 18.6 GB and the C:\ drive is 7.8 MB after formatting, i really don't know where did the 7.8 MB contents of C:\ drive goes, because the contents of the D:\ drive is still 18.6 GB.

I do appreciate all of those who are replying to my questions, .
Many thanks.

Br,
Yolly

C was 7.8MB and D was 18.6GB? That's a unusual way round.

From the sounds of it, you have just formatted the partitions not deleted them. If you deleted all the partitions and recreated a new one - it would be named C:\, not D.
