1. when i try to partition some of my harddrive, it only lets me get about 1gb. How can i get more allocated room for partitions?

i was thinking about videocard drivers, i installed them and posted that right before rebooting...but because i deleted the wrong windows folder (i had windows.1 windows.0 windows.2) im reinstalling windows. Thank god i already got all the programs i need in a separate partition.

your still gonna have to reinstall most (if not all) of your programs.

i meant programs and installers for programs like 7z, firefox, avast, and driver installers. Well, now problem 2 is completely fixed, anyway.

for 1, you may need to resize the partition that's taking up most of the drive...
