Jim,

Format the D: partition and retain the 5GB for your new Software to use. Then delete 
all the DISE files you can find.

This is tedious but works; go to Start>find,> Files Folders, in the "named" box type 
"*.*" (no Quotes) , select C:\ for "Look In", click, "Find now". Be sure to have 
"show all files" selected in Windows Explorer>Folder Options>View. This will display 
ALL the files on C:

Now the fun begins, You may have more than 10,000 files listed, but scrolling thru 
the list you can look for files with the DISE Icon and Folders associated with the 
program. 

You can delete what you find, as you find it, via the Right click menu. Be sure that 
what you delete is associated with DISE. leave anything you are not POSITIVE about.

From here I would Dfrag C:\ and run thorough ScanDisk, then Shutdown,  Restart and 
run a registry cleaner. 

I reccommend RegSeeker, free from HoverDesk.

Run the Registry Cleaner first then use the search function to find other files. 
Be sure to put a tick in the Backup before Deletion Box. If DISE aint dead yet, FDISK/ 
Format the HDD and reinstall Windows. Post back with results.
