    I just realized that my hd is supposed to have 120 gb size but only 108 is accessible...
    when i used hd tune i realized that here is an unnamed drive in my hd but I can't access it
    when I click my computer it only show 2 drives although there is supposed to be a free 5 gb drive as you can see in the picture...
    anyone know how I can make this drive accessible?

    That should be the recovery partition, you can access it by using partition magic, but i suggest you keep it, whenever you may need to do a system restore.

    If you feel comfortable removing it because you are able to solve, troubleshoot and have your own OS CDs and software, then I guess you can do as you wish with that 5GB.

    That should be the recovery partition, like milestone says. And u got 108gb instead of 120 because some unit converts. so u don't get the full cap. I got 108 too. so don't worry about it.
