So I installed Win7 Ultimate, it worked well, but then I realised, that I need Professional, so I installed it. Then I tried to defragment my HDD, (I use Ashampoo Winoptimizer 7), and I couldn't see my D partition. And windows' built-in "partition magic" sees, that D has 100% free space, but I see the files on it and I can use it like my other partitions. So why can't see windows, that my drive isn't a big free space? Please help! (and sorry for my english :) )

Windows 7 Ultimate contains all the features of Professional thus there is no reason to downgrade. Windows does not have "partition magic". Besides the useless information your question is confusing... If my answer doesn't help you, try to make your question more clear. – Tom Wijsman Jun 27 '10 at 14:59

This question was in fact re-asked, rephrased as requested in the comments, here, a day later. – JdeBP Mar 8 '11 at 23:03

  1. Back up your Important data first

  2. Run chkdsk on the partition with free space problems.

Try a free defragmentation program like MyDefrag to see if the same problem occurs there.

Maybe it's worth to mention that MyDefrag uses the Windows Defragmentation API. – Bobby Jun 28 '10 at 10:40
Try Defraggler instead – D'Arvit Jun 28 '10 at 10:43
Bobby, those things are mentioned on the site and he should just try an alternative to see if it occurs there. D'Arvit, if he can see the files using Windows, then a defragmentation program that uses the Windows Defragmentation API will see the same and thus see it. – Tom Wijsman Jun 28 '10 at 11:52
