mirna: Prior to installing your OS in partition C, did you verify that it was the only partition and indicated approximately 75 GB's? Did you do a complete re-format of the C drive? If it was up to me and I just found out that I only had 14 GB left, I'd re-do it again and verify that you are using the complete drive capacity when you format it. But then again, thats me.

right click on 'my computer', select manage, go to disk management and re-allocate the free space (which is most likely your former d: drive)
Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'
