| | | | Hi All...need some assistance or HELP (lol)
I have an HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook with an AMD Turion 64x2 Processor
with 3.0GB of Memory
I recently did a System Restore that took up 10.3GB of Drive D which left
1.30GB
remaining (approx 10%).
Is there any way I can recover my Drive D to its full capacity?
Thks for any expertise

Are you sure that "D" isn't the factory-installed recovery partition?
If it is, leave it alone. It's the way it's supposed to be.

Disk cleanup:

Defragment hard drive:

Schedule a disk check afterwards:
Open up a command prompt as administrator (Accessories menu, right-click the
Command prompt icon). At the prompt, type "chkdsk /f" (without the quotes).
Remove Vista SP1 installation residue:
Open up a command prompt as administrator. At the prompt, type "vsp1cln".
Limit the storage System Restore uses:
Open up a command prompt as administrator. At the prompt, type "vssadmin
resize shadowstorage /on=C: /For=C:: /Maxsize=xx".
You can substitute the drive letter. The Maxsize parameter takes MB and GB
suffixes. Keep in mind that each restore points takes up about 300MB of disk
space, and you need room for several of them.
