    So I get my laptop everything looks good, and maybe it is, however hard drive says c: is 289 capacity and d: is 8.97 capacity, so thats 298 gigs. I know that the harddrive smart protect is suppose to take 20-25 gigs but I figured when I first got it it says 260 of 289 free from the day I booted it up. Anyone else see these numbers? where did my extra 30 gigs go??? kind of disappointing but if the 250 is like this I'm glad I upgraded so I wouldnt really have like a 180, lol.....freakin hp

    anyways please let me know if anyone else has the same numbers or anything different, I couldnt find exact size on the computer (only in the "MY COMPUTER") just saw it is a fujistu or however you spell it harddrive.

    Not trying to make a big deal, just curious. Thanks in advance...
