    Hello, I just did a system recovery with the internal portion of the hard drive, it now says I have 3 hard disc drives.
    acer(C) 45.2 GB free of 69.7 GB
    local disc (D) nothing
    pqservice (F) 1.77 GB free of 9.75 GB

    It's supposed to have a 160 GB hard drive with a small portion of that for the recovery. Why do i only have 69.7 GB of usable space.

    I have gone ahead and ordered a factory recovery kit, will that fix it?
    I don't have a lot of experience but I do manage to fumble around with these lol!
    Any help or advise will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks
