I ran Easy Transfer to move files from my XP desktop to my new vista laptop,
but a few minutes into the process I got a message that my secondary HD (D
was now full and the process aborted. Ever since I've been getting popups
that the drive is full, and I know that can't be a good thing since it
contains system files and such. I even restored my machine (an HP Pavilion
DV6226US) to its factory condition, but it appears that didn't affect the D:
drive, as it's still at 0% capacity. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Double-click on the Recovery Partition, which is normally named
the (D drive, to display the folders and files in the right panel.

except the RECOVERY folder, and press the delete key.
The files will be removed and the space will be available to the
