need to create disk space after re-installation of OS?

Question

ok heres what i did. i have 2 Hd's on my pc. G: holds the OS. C: is simply for storage. i wanted to clear the whole thing and start again. i formatted C: no problems. I did a reinstallation of the OS on G: thinking this would clear everything.
the files that were previously on G are no longer available to me but there is still only 9gb of space available on a 34gb HD.
what can i do to clear out all the old data without removing the OS or new data i have put in there (AV etc)

Answer 2

You know that when you have for example a 100 Gb drive that you do not have all the 100Gb from 10 - 20 GB is used by the computer for applications and so that your computer can run.

I also did not understand. You have the OS on G drive which holds only 39 GB but only 9 GB is available. Well it seems that your OS needs room or memory on your little drive. Again, it it was 39 GB drive to start with and you put OS, or even Windows in this drive you will lose a lot of GB for storage which your computer needs to run. Whatever drive you have you never will get the FULL availability of memory. Anyway, go to pcworld.com and search and you will find your answers.

you would be better off buying yourself a new hd as they are cheep enough now but you can get it to wipe everything off if you have a floppy disc drive then you need a boot disc even a 98 boot disc will do put your boot disc in start the PC
at the a prompt type A/:fdisc press enter then you can delete any partitions and then start with a clean hard drive put in the OS of your choice and it will format it and set it all up for you
i have done this a few times even on Windows xp
