How old is your computer. When you upgraded did you format the drive as NTFS or is it FAT32. You can check my going to my computer and right clicking and select properties.

There was a recent article posted in Yahoo! Tech about why Windows wouldn't recognize the full hard drive capacity. Some of the info might pertain to your situation:

Use "partition magic" software to see where your space has disappeared
