1st Factory Restore = problems already!
I got my computer just over 2 weeks ago. A Gateway GT5464.
I tried to recollect all my programs that I had on my previous XP desktop and some incompatible programs ended up making it freakout to the point where I had to re-install windows. Now I have 2 major problems. I reinstalled Vista and now:: 1. Im "missing" GIGS My HDs supposedly 320 gigs out the box more or less (approx 288 including the recovery drive in actuality) and when I did a factory restore I was under the impression that a FRESH copy of windows would be installed, thus a fresh computer with 288 GIGS. Apparently they make a folder called "windows OLD" with all my old crap on there . .so i delete it and I still cant account for almost 40 GIGS of "STUFF" that is sitting on my HD I have no idea where it is or what it is. My HD says I have 238 Gigs of free space, this is AFTER i reinstalled Vista and deleted that "windows old" folder. 2. My headphones arent being recognized. When i plug in the headphones I dont get a message saying they are plugged in anymore, and sound still comes out the speakers. Now when I go to the device manager/volume control and search around it says headphones are working properly, and I can even hear sound out of them when I click "test sound" for the headphones icon. I'd love any kind of help because I'm not a computer savvy person and I feel as though every action I make on this thing is one step closer to destroying it. Oh dear. |
