A bit more info would help--model computer, size of drive, version of Vista--Basic, Home Premium etc, Upgrade or OEM installed and anything else that would help. You can do some detective work yourself by checking the properties of your hard drive. Right click on Drive C in Computer. You can also go to Computer Management, Disk Management in Administrative Tools to see a visual of the partitioning of the drive. My guess is there is something wrong with that. Possibly the 3+GB Repair partition is compromised or is being used by Windows. That partition must not be used at all.
