Hi!

I constructed a comp-uter recently with a 320GB hard drive. I used XP Professional (through work) as my OS. However, now the computer claims that my free disk space is only about 130 GB! I know that XP does not take up that much space. Is there some part of the actual computer setup that I missed?

Bryan, it may be that not all 320 GB were allocated to the partition with XP on it. In My Computer, check the Total Size of the C: partition. Or in the drive Properties page for C:, what is the "Capacity"?
