I just formatted my Hard Drive recently, its 120GB, I only have ETQW, WiC, and GRAW installed, but I have about 3 gig of free memory space, so I suspect the old installtion is still hiding because I picked the wrong option during formatting, is there any way to get rid of the old installation if it exists?

Are you sure you formatted the drive? It sounds like you might have just reinstalled windows on top of the old one. The only other thing you might have done is make a partition that was smaller than your entire drive leaving you without alot of space.

It sounds like you will probably have to reformat again(the right way this time) and reinstall windows.

Yeah, make sure you format. Just do the quick format, unless you suspect your harddrive has corrupt clusters.

My plan was to freshly install windows and wipe my drive, Im sure i havent created a partition, so I can only suspect that Ive created a new windows on top of the old one.
