That will tell us what is going on with your hard drive. There are at least a couple of possibilities: 1. The BIOS setup parameters used for the drive are incorrect, resulting in the full capacity not being recognized. 2. The full capacity of the drive was not allocated to drive C: and there is unused space available on the drive which can be used to create another partition or (with appropriate third party software) to increase the size of drive C: Good luck Ron Martell Duncan B.C.
