Thought this would be simple but have looked all over my control panel AND in the BIOS and can't find this info!

Lots of excellent answers here which will do what you ask. However, they will only get you an overview of your disk usage and a report of total free space.
If you want more detailed info about your disk usage and free space etc try Easycleaner - http://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/ecleane.htm
I have been using this for years and it is a very useful programme.
Also helps you get rid of unnecessary files, clean up your registry, find (and delete if you want) duplicate files etc.
And it's free.
You could at least give it a try.
Good luck !

Finding out the capacity and how much of your hard drive is used is easy.
WINDOWS:
Right-click the START BUTTON, and go to EXPLORE. Find your hard drive in the LEFT PANE that shows the folders, right-click it (again), and choose PROPERTIES. Your hard drive's capacity, along with its total used space and total free space.
MAC:
The capacity and amount used are shown underneath your hard drive automatically on the DESKTOP. If it's not, press and hold CTRL (control) and click your hard drive. Go to GET INFO.
If you are still having trouble, I can be reached at kevin__-chen@yahoo.com. And yes, there are two underscores (_).

Open up My Computer, if it doesn't say how much space you have on the left hand side the simple right click on the drive and go to properties.

goto my computer right click on the hard drive icon usually the C drive and click on properties, this will bring up a circle graph showing a visual of your hard-drive space used/unused, and the Megabytes or Gigabytes of used/unused space.
