. lost ram? nah, vista will make use of any available ram that it can get its hand on, but never leave other processes in the lurk. If they need the ram, vista will release it to them in good timing. Call it as you like, but vista is one of the best memory/cpu management OS that microsoft has in a long time.

. d drive? short of a complete wipe out (use gPart) and re.install again, it will stay there always. I still personally not recommend removing it.

cheers ...
