What do you do if you think that there are duplicate back up files files of the same programs in your "D Drive" which may cause it to run slow or slower than usual? I believe when my wife was up my comp,I think she accidently did just this. Drive D: 6.49GB is 14% free Is it possible to remove these duplicate back up files?If so,How do I check this & do just that so my comp can run better & faster? |

In all probability, your D: drive is a partition that contains an image of the operating system which your computer's manufacturer put there so you can reload it if necessary. Check your documentation to be sure I'm right. Assuming that I am, your wife didn't have anything to do with it. Leave this partition alone, and do nothing to it, other than following the manufacturer's instructions to make a CD copy of it. Whether or not I'm right about what it is, it's not causing your computer to run slower. Look elsewhere for the cause of your performance problems. Start by telling us what firewall, anti-virus, and anti-spyware protection you use. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

If a message such as "Hit F10 to restore..." shows at boot - "D" is a recovery partition.
