I have a new Core2 Duo laptop with two internal 120GB hard drives and Vista
Home Premium installed by the manufacturer. The machine worked well until I
recently decided to start backing up using the Vista backup feature. Overtime
the drive (that appeared to be vacant earlier) filled to the point where
warnings appeared everytime I started the machine. When I look at the
properties of this full drive, the pie chart is indeed very full. However
when I look at its contents I find only 26.2 GB. I contacted the
manufacturer and was told that to solve the problem I would have to reinstall
the software from the recovery disk and start all over. I find this solution
unaccepatble as I have spent much time loading software and files.
I have eliminated unwanted programs, and defragmented the full disk with no
significant change in the pie chart.
I have since bought a 500GB external hard drive to store files and backup.
I have not begun to use it. Before I do I would like to clear the full D
drive.
How does one undo the backup a get back to where I was??
Additional info: C Drive has 82GB in it. D Drive has near 120 GB.

Thanks for any suggestions that you may render!
