    The reason the HD is at 86GB versus the 100 is the recovery partition. Sony puts all of the recovery on the HD, and you can burn the recovery information to DVD's or CD's and then delete it if you'd like to recover the extra 14GB's.

    Also, with the CD drive. You havn't told us what model you got so we can't help you with what might be the problem. Good luck mehmetumer.
