    I know...I know dumb question ay? Well with this new Visa OS I am not sure exactly I guess.

    When I click on computer it shows 3 drives:

    RECOVERY (D):
    5.92GB Free of 9.99GB

    OS (C):
    84.0 GB Free of 136GB

    And then ofcourse my DVD drive.

    I am supposed to have a 160GB hard drive on my new 1721 and I just don't see that I have that do I need to look somewhere else?

    there is a hidden partition also, but your totals should not add up to 160. 160gbs is really 148gbs due to the difference between bits and bytes. anyways, you have the 160gb hard drive.
