    Local Disk
    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.

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

    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.
