    I just recently had to do a fresh install of windows 7 home premium .After the fresh install i noticed that the C drive on my note book is only displaying 19.2 GB free of 59.4 GB .Where as the main hard disk is 500 GB and i cant seem to make the C drive display the proper free disk space from the total disk space on my main hard drive on the M17XR4 Alien ware note book .Could some any one please guide me with a step by step guide on how to configure this problem please ?

    Do you have an mSATA drive? It could be possible that you installed the O.S on it.

    In windows, at the start bar search "partition". Click disk management. This will bring a list of all you drives with partitions. Now the 60gb is the OS, 100mb is the windows boot , anything else will either require formatting, or merging. Do not touch the 60gb or 100mb, format and merge everything else, with the 60gb (right click)
