I just installed Vista Ultimate, but believe I did not install it correctly. Why? Because my hard drive is showing it is 45% being used! And I have hardly any software or anything else on it. What I think happened is my previous operating system, XP, is still on there. I thought I formatted my hard drive correctly. I did not want XP to remain. But it appears now I have both on my drive. Again, how much gb does Vista Ultimate take up, and also how can I get rid of my old XP and keep the Vista? What likely happened? I don't want almost half of my 80gb hard drive being used up, when it is not necessary. Thanks for any help, guidance, or advice.
