Solved: Help with Hard Drive
I have a 320 gig hardrive which splits into two. one with 252 memory in total and the other 30ish memory in total.

The 252 memory one has 50 gigs worth of programs like , the Vista OS , some games installed, and the necessities that came with Lenovo laptop.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-584-_-Product

Heres the product.

I am trying to figure out why my hard drive says only 20 gigs left when there should be at least 200ish free hardspace. I don't understand, please help

Check the free space on both partitions. It sounds like you may be confusing the two.

You're Welcome!

Would be nice if there was a confirmation that it actually did something when you click yes, wouldn't it?

If your issue has been resolved you (and ONLY you) can mark this thread Solved by using the Mark Solved button at the Top Left of this thread (above the first post)
