you may have one of three problems. you have two different boot systems and when you format you don't delete NTFS formats. the second is you have a boot virus in which case you have to Do the FOLLOWING. 1 fdisk the drive while doing so see if it reports more than one volume either way fdisk the drive then reformat then reinstall software, that will get rid of all those problems and last The drive is going bad. get Norton disk doctor to look at it after you have reinstalled, but my guess you have a boot virus and a worm and a key logger combined doing this. Try and let us know if it helps.

The operating system most likely takes up the rest. Mac takes up probably 4 or 5, Windows is a bit more hefty and will probably take up that 5.5 GB you miss so much. The second calculation doesn't really add up....unless 26 is available. 7+6 = 13, 40 - 13 = 27 which is kinda close to 26.
So I guess it's fairly OK. If there's still a problem, post again.
