Hello, A friend gave me a laptop (Dell Vostro 3300) with Windows both of them with a Professional. At the time, it was not working, due to a virus. I got rid of the virus and now the computer works.
There are three partitions, two of them with a "Windows" directory, "Program Files", etc. (The third partition is not used; it is ready for an alternative OS. There is NOT any OS option at bootup; it just goes to Windows.) I have very little experience with Windows 7. Can someone help me figure out the answers to these questions: 1. How can I tell whether the machine is booting to the C: partition or the D: partition? 2. Can I delete the "Windows" directory from the other (i.e. non- boot) partition without causing a catastrophe? 3. The C: partition is 14 GB and it's crammed full. I'd like to clear out some space. The biggest file is C:DELL/Image/Factory.wim . That file is 5 GB !!! I don't know what that is for -- but if I don't need it, that's the first file to get deleted. What is this file? All answers and any other advice will be appreciated. Ted Shoemaker -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Computer Tech Support" group.
