    I have installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my new XPS M1530. I have a 120GB HDD but for some reason it is only showing I have 107.2GB total, 94.5GB free and 89.1GB available with 12.6GB used (12%). Where did the rest of my HD go? I installed only Ubuntu, not VIsta. In the install it said it was going to install on the single partition of 120GB...does Ubuntu really take up 12.8GB?
