    There is a MediaDirect partition (3Gb), a system restore partition and a boot partition OTHER than your regular pattition. Depending if you have a large hard drive, you may have C: and D: which means they have divided your partitions to smaller sizes rather than one large.

    The below Clean Install should work if you have mediaDirect on your system.
