    I tried google-ing my problem, but it was of no help (too many shops, less forums responses )

    I bought a samsung 160gb hard disk, installation went fine, but it is only shown as 73gb.

    I have no idea what to do, as I couldn't find any similar problems, and i'm not that computerliterate...

    What operating system are you using? Also, when you bought the hard drive and installed windows did you use fat32 or ntfs partitions?


    and you emo, why did you buy a new hard drive instead of more memory. :P

    Because I have to upgrade my motherboard first you homo :P
    They dont make that type or ram anymore, and I forgot exactly what type of ram it was. <__<

    WinXp 2000, and I used ntfs file system. Also, the pin thingies setting for Slave on this hard drive is 0 (no pin), or pin on CD (2nd row). Atm it is without pin (slave).

    Problem solved. Quite an embarassing situation... i&#39;ll spare the problem and deem this solved.

    Thx for help guys, but it wasn&#39;t anything with the partitioning or format type :P

    Either of those would make sense to me. I know I&#39;ve had a problem with my HD being limited at 73GB and it was because I didn&#39;t have SP2 installed.

    Glad you fixed it.
