Is the 1 TB drive all in one C: partition, or multiple partitions. If multiple, how big is C: and can it be enlarged?

The 1 TB drive comes with a 60-something GB partition reserved for windows recovery files. The rest is all C: drive space. You can partition it out any way you want... you can even get rid of the windows backup.

When I received mine, it was 1 drive, partitioned in 2. The "C" section is about 200G

The short answer is yes. My C drive shows 95.3 GB and the D drive shows 121 GB.

Each drive will always be a bit different, as no two drives will have the exactly the same free space. Mine is 931GB

No it's not. And i returned mine necause it wasn't even the size it was supposed to be. It was less than 1 TB

I wish I knew. I know cars!! If my computer were a car I could make it sing!!! I just went with the 2TB to make sure I could back up everything; including the o/sys. Sorry. I guess in my gut I felt that the C-2 was what I needed.

I am also unsure about the bay for a second hard drive, but mine came with 1Tb, which to me is plenty. You will be able to install windows 7 or any OS for that matter. Worst case would be that you may have to download a driver or two, but I highly doubt that.

Ok thanks for the mesg. I don't think I will change the partition. It seems partitioning the drive leads into some errors, esp after storing some files.

Depends on the operating system. There are linux installs you could back up with 100MB. If you're talking Windows 7, its doubtful you could get 1 copy onto a 16GB flash drive. You might be able to get 1 clean install of windows on that, but it would be tight (remember, the 16gb drive is 16000MB which is actually like 14GB). My OS drive has 35GB, and that's basically Windows only since most of my programs/app data files are all on a different drive. Tl;dr: you can partition it however you want, but you aren't going to be putting any windows backups on a 16GB flash drive.

Yes, 120 GB -- but of course, like any HDD, there's firmware, and the actual capacity measured in MB never comes out to exactly what they say in GB (1024 MB in 1 GB) -- so I think it showed as something like 118 GB available during the "drive partition" screen of Windows installation

1 TB. That's a whole lot more than 1 GB. You'll be able to hold a lot of pics and movies with all that space!

While I haven't tried a drive larger than 6 TB, I would respect that limitation since it must be a consequence of the Blizzard's engineering and design. As drives get larger, I suspect that the engineering will keep up with the increasing size of large drives; but you may be limited to 6 TB today. I know that Seagate has recently come out with 8 TB "archival" drives, but 6 TB seems to be today's norm for max capacity drives for the time being

Actually, disregard my previous response. I had this drive, but it was a 2TB model, not 3TB. There's a limit of 2.19TB for older Windows version (including Win 7) unless you have hardware that supports GPT partitioning, which I honestly don't know much about at this time. I'd recommend going with a 2TB version to be on the safe side.

Drives these days are all 250GB / 320GB / 500GB / 750GB / 1TB / 1.5TB / 2TB / 3TB / 4TB ..... this computer has a 1TB drive. 1GB would be impossible.

This listing is for 1 256GB (GIGA BYTE) drive. The one answer is correct and it is 1/4 of a Terra Byte. Please check conditional notes. Some people are selling 128GB under this listing.
