    Even with Vista SP2 I had 2 drives that came from DELL partitioned like this itsone drive with 2 partitions.

    (OS) C: and (RECOVERY) D:

    Now when I did a clean install of W7 to my C Drive I selected that partition 287GB and it did the rest from there. But I never touched the D drive. What happened to it? Did W7 isntall to it? Do I need to reinstall W7 specifically? the D drive is only 9.99GB and says 2.12GB Free.

    Your D drive will be unchanged.
