It started when I tried to preform a secure erase, I used command prompt and when it was on the last step "Writing random numbers" my laptop died while I was away. When I turned it back on I noticed the command prompt window was gone and my computer was running oddly slow. I checked the C drive and it said I only have like 320 mb of space left. I had about 450 gb before I did the secure erase. Recently, I posted a question on the forums and I got a little bit of help. One of the programs prompted that I check my partitions so I did. When I looked, I had 4 partitions, 3 of them were recovery and they were all primary (is this normal?) So then I did a scan that checked for errors and it said my drive is healthy.
I need to get my laptop back to normal to where I only have 2 partitions where as one is recovery and one is my primary boot. How do I do this when my laptop doesn't have windows 8 boot disks, or when my computer doesn't even have enough space to download almost anything. I feel like I'm stuck and I really need help! Thanks.
My laptop is a asus vivobook s300ca bought about 6 months ago running a pre installed version of windows 8.
