Hi, This is an odd situation. I have a 160 GB hard drive which I use exclusively for storage. Until recently I also had Windows Vista RC1 installed. Because of certain reasons I had the drive partitioned with 3 partitions and assigned letters F: which equals 81 GB, G:=34 GB, and H:=32 GB. All in all, the sum of the drives equalled 147 which seemed correct for a 160 GB drive. Until a few weeks ago I went into computer management for some much needed drive maintenance and saw there was a partition unformatted and unassigned equalling 33 GB. I formatted the partition and now I have 181 GB's of storage. How can this be? My primary drive which contains my OS is accounted for and the size is correctly displayed and my secondary storage drive is the only other drive that is currently on this particular computer.

Depending on how a hdd is formated, it can show different total capacities. Download the technical sheets from the hdd maker and it might show the options there. The same can occur depending on how the hdd params are set in the bios. Suggest never complain when you get more for free! :-) Good Luck - keep us posted.
