    right click on the drive and click on 'properties'. then go to the hardware tab and look at the model number of your hard drive. Copy that model number into google and you will see that the drive is really 160Gigabytes. But the 'formatted capacity' or the capacity that the computer sees is 142GibiBytes. You might have a hidden partition taking up space too. But anyway the physical drive is 160GB

    It's a computer thing..

    Oh by the way,.. I think it's an Asus not Asses netbook! heeha

    Hey,

    You might want to check the wording of your ad... It's 142GiB not GB if your talking about a 160GB hard drive..
