I bought a new computer a month ago, it is an Acer Veriton running Windows 7 Pro, I was told that it had a 320 gb hard drive. When I got the computer home, I was prompted to perform a backup from C drive to D drive, okay I did that but I noticed that each hard drive had a total of 134 gb of space. I thought that seemed odd because I was told that the computer had a 320 gb hard drive, now it seems that I have two hard drives at 134 gb, what happened to my 320 gb HD?. I went back to the shop that I purchased the computer from and was told that actually there is two hard drives both with 160 gb of space and that the OS and other files takes up a portion of that. Today I found out that the 320 gb HD was partitioned so that I could backup the HD on the same HD, how stupid is that.
Now I want to unpartition my HD and buy a second HD to use for a backup, so my question is how do I unpartition my HD and what is a good HD to buy for a second backup HD, and could anyone recommend a good HD to buy. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
