    I just received my Vostro today and I am really happy with it. The only problem is that the capacity reads 136GB when I ordered 160GB. I can understand if it was 150 something GB but 20+ gone seems a bit too much. Should I call Dell about this or is it common for the 160GB hard drives to vary this much?

    Do a search, read something! This has been covered over and over and over and over again.

    I did do a search and could not find anything. I guess I will try again using a different wording.
