Dan, tc, and gottfried,

I opened the directory for "D" and it says:
Factory.PQI
807,808KB
When I try to open it, I get the Windows message that Windows can't open the file without knowing what program created it.
Next to it is a readme file that says:

This partition contain an image file which is used for hard drive restoration. Please do not delete the factory.pqi file. You can use the restoration disk to recovery Windows.

I guess this is some kind of Windows restoration drive? This is really beyond my comprehension. The only reason it came to my attention is that when I ran that test it recommended that I run defrag on this drive that I didn't even know I had! By the way, Dan, what you say about it called Dise must be right regarding that typo.
