hi carl, just reading a few posts and came across yours ,this sounds like the
issue i had with my new laptop except for the missing drive c i found that
auto backup is set by default to backup to drive d (also my recovery partion
6gig)the trouble with that is there is no room for backups so i kept getting
messages saying "disc space is low"my solution was to turn of auto backup and
backup to dvd i now have auto backup saving to a external hard drive.This may
be the cause of your problem
