    Just wanting to make sure their is only one HD in my sony vaio vgn-s150 and not a D: backup like in my desktop computer. I copied it and erased it all. Hopefully I got everything off it, I formatted it. I'm going to be selling it on ebay or somewhere because its a broke p.o.s.

    Yours has only one hard drive. But, a single hard drive can be split up into many partitions, divide a hard drive up into parts, and each partition would go into another drive letter like D:, E:, etc.. Your Vaio has a recovery partiton, which is hidden under My Computer though, did you erase that?

    First backup all your data, then use the recovery disks to restore it to factory defaults and sell it off.
