Hello Brink and all of you!
Third time with you (Seven, Vista and now Eight)
I just got a new PC with Windows 8 (bought by me) installed. Machine made on my design, so without branded software such as HP, Compaq, etc.. It.s a "monster PC"
Looking at the C drive (128GB SSD) I was shocked:
Used space: 76.8 GB
Free space: 34.5 GB
Capacity: 111 GB
How is it possible that the operating system only occupies 77 GB?
please give me a hand.
Thanks in advance
Lio
PS sorry for my bad english....

Don't buy Windows 8 right away with Paypal.

Windows 8 Pro is now available to purchase directly from Microsoft for $40.
However it seems you can only purchase it through the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant that you have to download, which checks your system first.
I used this utility and paid through paypal. But once the transaction was finished in paypal, the application went to an error screen which doesn't let you go back or do anything except exit.
Paypal and my bank account both say that the transaction is completed, but I never recieved any email, and after calling Microsoft they have no record of my transaction. Hopefully it goes through in the next few hours, but in the meantime wait a bit as the servers are overloaded.

I cannot create a Windows 8 partition as I already have four partition

I want to install Windows 8 Consumer Preview, and create another partition, but I already have four partitions. I have tried partitioning my primary partition, but this does not work as there is a maximum amount of partitions?
One of the partitions I have is a logical partition, but I think it is a default for the Lenovo Recovery OS. Please could someone tell me how to create a partition to install Windows 8?
I have attached a screenshot of how my hard drive is partitioned, to help explanation.
Thank you very much if you help me on this

yes the max amount of partitions you can have on one hard drive is four your only options are 1. get rid of a partition or 2. get an external hard drive
