Inaccurate hard drive space & reformat?

Hi all,
Got a sexy little VGN TX2P running Vista.
I think like a lot of other people I wanted to format the hard drive to wipe off the software Sony bundled onto it and also have had it for 2 years just want a clean install.
I have 2 issues;
1. In disk management it's showing I have 3 partitions/volumes; one unlabelled of 6.99GB, and empty, that's in EISA (what's that?) configuration. C drive is 16.29GB with 47% free and is the boot drive, D drive is 32.60GB but is showing as only having 3.72GB free, yet I don't have anything left installed, no music, pics, videos, documents. How can this be right and how do I rectify it?
2. How can I re-format this D drive? In disk manegement it won't allow me the option, showing that it has the system files on it.
Thanks all!
:smileygrin:

goto disk management and right click on the hard drive you want to format and click on format then follow the on screen instructions
