It shows under D drive that I have 9.99 gb. and under my C I have 136 gb. My computer is supposed to have 160 Gb. Am I missing something?

The definition of gigabyte in Window and the actual may be different. So Window may tell you that you have less than 160 GBytes by a tad. If your local drives are only "C" and "D", highlight them and right click properties. See what is the total size? If you do not get a number close to 160 GBytes, may be you have another local drive not included?

Actually that is about wright. Normally they will create a 10gb partition that is used for recovery adn the rest is allocated as the main drive. Also 10 percent is reservered by windows for other uses. so if 160 - 10 =150 - 10% = about 136 so this is correct

It is the correct amount of space. The computer puts its files on a separate part of your hard drive. And it depends on how it formated hard drive c.

I'm going to say the 9.99GB is a partition that was created for your restoration files. This is an area you generally do not have access to, so that you don't accidentally delete these files. I have the same thing going on,(250G HD, 158G's of free space-C: drive, 4.98G's on D:. I have to re-partition my HD, but I'm too busy,(lazy!).

No, thats the correct amount of space. Its down to how the OS formats the hard drive.

There is already software downloaded onto the computer which is using up some of the space
