Hello I'm new to computer tech and I have a question I recently purchased a 3tb for my new rig and install a fresh window 7 but in the process I accidentally deleted 75% of my hard disk volume now I'm stuck with only 800gb as my new c drive...so is there any chance I can recover my 2200gb back

Of course you can get your 220gb back just go to create and format disk partitions click on the 'unallocated' space and merge it with the 800gb partition. If merging doesnt work create a new partition with it but if you really want it to be 'one space' together you will most likely have to reinstall windows 7 again and wipe everything on it to merge the partitions.

There should be more space available if you click on your Drive in Disk manager, there should be some blue lines on the drive and probably some black ones. Right click where there is a black line on a disk and select "create new simple volume" that should get you your space back, but like stated before you'll probably have to reinstall if you only want one partition.
