Your Hard Drive is partitioned as a C and D drive, The D drive contains the data files to back up your operating system . You can use the balance of the D drive for your own storage. Good Idea to make a backup disk of this data in case of hard drive failure.

Good Idea to make a backup disk of this data in case of hard drive failure. so in actual fact theres only 70 gig? This is how it looks with my 60 gig drive. Item Value Drive C: Description Local Fixed Disk Compressed No File System FAT32 Size 25.25 GB (27,113,701,376 bytes) Free Space 13.00 GB (13,962,051,584 bytes) Volume Name ACER Volume Serial Number 0E4D13C3 Drive D: Description Local Fixed Disk Compressed No File System FAT32 Size 25.73 GB (27,631,648,768 bytes) Free Space 18.03 GB (19,364,593,664 bytes) Volume Name ACERDATA Volume Serial Number 12EA1119 You should have a similar breakdown of your two partitions, but with a larger drive. 160 gig = 2 times 70 gig space for storage.
