HD shown full even after reformating it.

I have reinstall window Vista in my pc and it seems to be that all my old windows files have been saved in two windows. Then i deleted my old folders in both the windows, but due to some problem it only shows 170 Gb free on my 250Gb drive. When i checked the properties of C drive it was showing only 12GB on it. Can any one tell me where are these files in my pc?

Hey just check all that files in your Recycle Bin.

Hey I've already checked, but my Recycle Bin is shown empty.

Are you using Vista service pack 1 in your pc? Any way i haven't work on vista so no idea about how it works. Just check out this link it may help you.

Although thanks for your support but it didn't work for me.

I think that your formatting is not been done successfully and your old OS is still there in your pc. Anyway can you write all 1s and zeros?
