Sorry people, its me again. I have another problem, i had bought a Samsung 160gb 2 Mache Hard drive. I have installed my windows upon it, but my computer has only read 130 gb, is there a way to re-treve the other 30gb back or has it gone.

If anybody has any ideas, i will be happy to hear them,

thanks guys,
 
How is it formatted FAT32 or NTFS? This could make a difference to the amount of space available.

Additionally the 160Gb is likely to have been reported using a base of 1000. e.g. 1000 bytes to a kilobyte, 1000 kilobytes to a megabyte etc. rather than the computing form of 1024

Therefore 130Gb useable could be quite accurate

Strange, but I get about 149 GB that way.

160,000,000,000 bytes / (1024 x 1024 x 1024) = 149.012
