    I have an older Sony laptop - the r-505. The C: partition is way too small given all the windows updates, service packs, etc., so I'd like to do a fresh install w/o the d: partition that's automatically put there. Does anyone know how this is done? When using the recovery CDs. it seems to make a d: partition however I answer the question asked. Thanks!
