    I just install Acronis true image 2010, and i started off by doing a backup, expecting to create series of backup files. Instead, the computer rebooted, and my HDD disk capacity decreased by about 130GB??? The content of my driver, which is about 160gb, remains the same, just that instead of out 160/500GB, now my drive is 160/370gb? Can someone tell me how to undo this action???

    It sounds like a Secure Zone might have been created.

    Greg is probably right. You should backup to an external drive.

    Yep. The OP should read the documentation that came with the software if s/he wants to revert to the previous state.

    as mentioned above its most prob made a hidden partition with the hidden files in there.
    ive got acronis pre installed on my clevo and if i press F11 on boot up it will open acronis and most prob let you see the files. this is a guess as i havnt had to use it yet.
