Solution SuperSoph_WD Jul 13, 2015 Welcome to the community, Arron_22! I'd follow @Mattios advice and check Disk Management on your computer! Check the partitions and file system of that 1 TB HDD. I'd also make sure there is no unallocated space on it. Here's a link that explains how to get there: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/disk-management-windows-7.htm I'd also check your HDD manufacturer's website for a diagnostic tool to test the health and SMART status of the HDD. If it's your system/booting HDD, I'd run Disk Cleanup as well: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup#delete-files-using-disk-cleanup=windows-7 Hope this helps.
