    So yeah I opened My Computer and noticed that my harddrive memory's almost full, 33.9 GB free of 452 GB, so I click on my C drive and just wanna see where do I have all my memories at and after accounting for all the memories on my C drive, it only adds up to 337 GB, so that's about 100 GB of memory not account for, where the hell does that 100 GBish memory go?

    I know some of it is reserved for the alienrespawn 2.0 partition that comes on each alienware machine, not sure how large that is though right offhand but I doubt it is 100GB. If you do a fresh format and install of say windows 7, the partition will be gone and you can probably reclaim that space, but you will lose your local drive respawn ability.
