    Hello,
    I have a new Lenovo x200 with the 64gb SSD. It is a Samsung SLC SSD.
    When I did a clean install (downgrade) of XP, I see that my C drive is only 54gb or so, total size. I do not believe that there are any other partitions (none show up in "My Computer").

    Is this the correct formatted size? I figured it should be ~59gb or so.

    Any insight appreciated. Thx!

    Yes, it should be ~59GB. Just to be sure about the no. of partitions, check out Disk Management in the Administrative Tools (Control Panel).

    Maybe there's a hidden partition for system recovery?
