Vista Partition Size

Yes, I had to recover once already and it's where emachines had it's restore
center. But when I got this machine new (2 mos ago), They had the restore
files on the partion too. Everytime I tried doing a restore it gave me an
insufficient space err msg. So I moved restore to the C, now that works fine.

Anyway, after I recovered windows it left big "Backup" files on my C drive,
I wanted to move them to the D drive but it's only 4 gig.

That is what I had thought. Leave that Partition alone. In fact, if you use
disk management you can remove the drive letter from that partition so that
it no longer shows up in Explorer. Then you will not accidently alter it.

You should also go to your advanced system settings and turn off System
Restore on that partition.
