Product: Laptop Pavilion Dv6
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Laptop was getting hot and slow.  I decided to do a factory reset.  I created a system disk and full backup.

Some of my software wasn't acting right.  I wanted to do a full clean-up .

 

I have a CD drive and and disks for software.

This laptop was custom buiilt by HP. It is 7500 RPM, 16 g RAM and should have a terabyte of HD.  It is showing a very limited amount of hard drive (C: 91.9 GB and 😧 21.7)  and 8 GB Ram.  I am already out of HD space!

 

Where is my hardrive?  I can't find it.  Laptop is running like a top  I installed software but out of memory.  HELP!

In order that I may provide you with an accurate solution, I need the product and the serial number of your computer.
