    Newish comp but something went wrong with the OS so I reinstalled. Thought I formatted in the process but appears I didn't. Was a clean install with no programs or files I used to have but 150 gigs of space on my 250gig HD taken up like before the reinstall. Any way to shift all that redundant space?

    Check on your main drive that you don't have a folder named windows.old as this keeps the old files, program files etc.
