| 111915 | 2003-01-08 00:42:00 | When I go to 'Information About My Computer' via the Start menu it tells me, correctly, that I have 37.24 GB of hard disk space, yet when I go to 'My Computer' and double-click on 'Local Disk (C)' and open Properties, it tells me that the total capacity - the sum of used space and free space - is only 9.75 GB. Why the difference? I would have expected these two figures to be the same. I'm running Windows XP. | colmack (2939) | ||
| 111916 | 2003-01-08 01:26:00 | Where abouts is the 'Information About My Computer' thing, I can't seem to find it. Are you using partitions. One may be the space on C: the other maybe the HDDs space. |

(4th option under 'pick a task) - My Computer Information (first option on left) - view general system information (first option on right) I'm not using partitions as far as I know (I'm a newbie at the computer is as it is when I bought it, I haven't done anything) |

| 111919 | 2003-01-08 08:01:00 | In My Computer under Hard Disks is there just a C: drive or is there also a D: (and maybe E:) as well? | tommy (2826) | ||
| 111920 | 2003-01-08 08:38:00 | You probably have more than one partition. One is reporting the size of the actual HDD and the other is reporting the actual size of the C: partition which is only part of that drive | Big John (551) | ||
