Could be a couple of things

First, if the system has hibernate enabled, that section is likely to be the area of the HD that will save the image.

Also, the "swap partition"...(pagefile.sys) will be marked as system and is on this laptop right now a file of about 1.5Gb..a significant chunk of the drive.

Lastly it could be rescue files and the cabs for a windows preload.

Nope, none of those.

Swap is set a 384-Meg, Hibernate has always been off and there is no preload. I installed right off a standard W2K CD onto a totally blank disk. This green area is about 1.75-Gig with a total of 3.47-Gigs of files on a 30-Gig disk.

So it's the page file that's in the middle then I presume. -NT - (Andrew Grygus) - (1) - June 7, 2007, 02:04:59 AM EDT
