   i take it you have only one hard drive,
   when you first bought the comp it had the hard drive split into different size partitions….
   if this is the case your restore disk should have had an option to do this,
   put your back up disc in and wait till it loads and check the settings……
   what comp is it?
   sony? operating system? XP or vista ,
   is it a laptop or desk top?
   what size is the hard drive now and what size was it before?

   recovery disks will recover your p.c with just one drive(c) and its impossible to make another partition without reinstalling windows with a normal windows disk(not recovery disk)
   the reason for you getting just one drive is because a recovery disk returns the p.c back to its “factory state” which basically means the way your p.c was when you first took it out of the box
   another way to create a partition now is to buy a piece of software called “partition magic” from http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/…
   this will create a new partition,even if you have just one at the moment,and as its made by symantec you know its got to be good
   hope this helps
   good luck mate!

   you’ll need a recovery software to get back data on a previously deleted partion
   and you need a 2nd drive installed and formatted to recover to as recovery software does not write to the source drive when recovering
   i used on track ez recovery pro v6
   and or Hauri recovery software
   and or Get Data Back for NTFS
   all 3 work well
   ontrack is the easiest
   Hauri is more precise ( though some what of a pain )
   Get Data Back is quick

   You would have to format the computer and re-set up the old partitions you had.

   I would download Testdisk and see if you can get your partitions back.
