Plastic Nev Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 It's too new really for us to go much further Ace mate, it has been wrongly set up in the first place. So I would consider taking it back before it is too late. There is a very strange partition on there that has no file system allocated, not to mention the drive letter "S" has been wrongly allocated as well somehow. Nev.

Jelly Bean Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) Wolfey are you refering to EISA Config? If yes that is the hidden recovery partition. ;) Ace click start/all programms/accessories/system tools and choose disk cleanup/Files from all users on this computer/choose C drive let it scan then check all boxes in the new popup window.Another popup box will appear click on delete. Does that free up some space on your hard drive? Edited June 20, 2009 by Jelly Bean Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
Jelly Bean Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) It certainly should not be using up that amount of disk space so soon. Ok as it is new and I do not advise turning of system restore then turning it back on. But what I posted earlier on disk cleanup when you get to the list of check boxes choose the second tab "More Options" then choose Sytem restore and shadow copies and press the cleanup button located under that heading then choose delete then choose ok. See if that frees up some space on your hard drive. I realy do not see what the S partition is for at all anyone noticed the size? Ace are you sure this is a brand new machine? I know some returned goods to PC World are just packaged back up and resold at the origonal price.Maybe you were sold a repackaged returned machine?

Ace_786 Posted June 20, 2009 Author Posted June 20, 2009 lol it was packed as if it was new! but i did what you said and got 109 gb from 92gb so it worked! but i have my insurance and all on it so if i get any problems in future i can always return it plus i never paid anything for it. i was given voucher to purchase it as my last laptop was written off lol Quote
Jelly Bean Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 If you start to have issues other than the sound then yes return ASAP. It looks like there may of been two seprate partitions created on one hard drive and some one tried to resize C drive and get rid of the second partition but did not know how to get rid of that S 1.4 gig completely. It is PC World I am always ongaurd of what they do. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
Ace_786 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Posted June 21, 2009 Thanks to all for help. if this machine does give problems all i gotta do ring them and it will get picked up lol so im all good as far protection goes. Quote
Jelly Bean Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Your very welcome Ace,please pop back any time. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................

Ace_786 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Posted June 21, 2009 is it concerning when laptop makes a beeping noise? i looked around google seen alot of people had this problem it does not happen all the time maybe once in a while really. Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 A beeping noise What's going on here Ace? The reason I ask is that you seem reticent to take it back to PC World, why? Quote
Plastic Nev Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Will you please take it back, if it is covered by the PC World insurance there is usually no quibbles, very expensive insurance, but they do stick to it by the letter. It is probably the only good thing (in my opinion) to come out of PC World. Tell them, and show them everything, including the latest, this beeping. Stand your ground, you want a new replacement, or money back. Quote Need help with your computer problems? Then why not join Free PC Help.
