Re: hi, HD problem

Are you talking about the recovery partition? If it is an internal drive on a laptop it is commonly a 10GB hidden partition that is accessed during start up with a key like F11 and is only used to restore the computer to factory condition. However, laptops are available with dual hard drives now, so please post back with the exact make and model of your computer. You haven't given nearly enough information for anyone to do more than guess at what you are dealing?

Have you run chkdsk to check and repair the file system on the drive?

Right click on the drive's icon in Computer and choose Properties/Tools
and
"check volume for errors." Leave the "automaticall fix file system
errors"
checked and click Start.
