Greetings,
I am running out of room on our PXAs for Windows updates despite having 80GB hard drives. When looking at the disk space from Disk Manager, I noticed there were three partitions for one hard drive. Aside from the tradition C partition, I have a D partition called Datastore (10GB) and an unmarked partition called System (30GB). Can you tell me what those two partitions are used for? I really need the disk space.

Unfortunately, your only option for quickly gaining space is to clean up some personal files in the C: drive but most PXAs have a USB slot that you can utilize.
Depending on which PXA you have, you can also purchase an upgrade to an SSD to get obtain more storage.
