Problems with a formatted drive

My laptop crashed on me at the weekend and I was able at first to reset it by
going back to factory settings. However the very next day the problem(s) came
back and the system failed again. I then decided to wipe the drive using the
system recovery discs which seemed to work fine until I checked the drive(s)

this is how they are set at the minute : Data (C:) = 11.4 GB
Local Disk (D:) =
49.4GB

The problem I have is that everything from the recovery discs has loaded
into the C: Drive which is almost full bar 1GB. Is there anyway I can fix
this problem without having to format the drive again. ?
 
Hi,

If everything is installed to C:, you'll have to either remove D: and expand
C: using disk manager, or use a third party tool to shrink and slide D: to
the end of the drive, then expand C: into the free space. Either that or
start from scratch, and I wouldn't use less than 20GB for C:.
