tommyboy21,

 

Is your "D:" drive a partition on your existing hard drive or is it a separate physical drive?  How big is the drive (or partition)?  What do you use this drive for?

sorry also disk c is not full.

tommyboy21,

 

The D partition is the "PC Restore" partition which contains Windows and all of the original software that came with your computer.  You have upgraded to Vista and Vista is apparently using that drive letter (partition) to back up your stuff on a regular basis.  The continued backing up of your stuff to that drive letter is causing it to become full.  Consider deleting some of the backups that are on that drive letter to free up some space or backing up to a CD or an external drive.

Hi tommyboy21

Do not use it for any backups use a USB or some other drive .
