Few questions regarding new Acer Laptop?

-Hi!

I just got a new acer laptop. I removed most of the unneeded software like games, etc. Now I have some issues with it I can't resolve myself.

1. I was wondering why it had one big hard disk, I'm used to having two disks, one C: and one D:

Is that bad, since I plan on playing games and don't feel comfortable installing 14 gigs or more game on the same drive as Windows, or more than 150 GB of music...

2. It is supposed to have 750 GB hard, yet I see 685 GB written on the single C: drive.

3. As far as I know it has both Nvidia and Intel graphics card. Dxdiag says Intel HD, is there any way to force the laptop to use the nvidia one? Or will my games use the Nvidia one without me touching anything?



Laptop is Acer Aspire 5745G

Intel Core i5-460m 2.53 ghz

Nvidia GeForce GT 420m 2gb

4 RAM, 750 GB HDDYou don't seem to have a recovery partition, which seems a little odd, but it's no big deal. Use the included software to create recovery disks or a system image in the event of a crash. See the Backup and Restore applet in Control Panel. Get an external drive for backups if your data is important to you.

The difference in size is a result of the way GB are calculated. The makers of HDs use decimal, and computers use binary. You have the right size.

It's my understanding these laptops will switch to the proper video configuration automatically.You might get ride of lot of the information that you have done already but there is still lots of stuff on there that you don't want to mess with if you delete a wrong file you can mess up your laptop really they don't take off as much as you think my computer is an Acer. . The c: drive is one of the drivers for like the stuff you have in you disk drive that's why the C: drive is up there the D: drive is where lot of the information is and you don't want to mess with that you can add and remove drives but i recommend you not to just in-case both drives might have some impotent information. .
