Hi everyone, I just got a new laptop with a larger hard drive, but Windows isn't showing the correct size. It thinks it's only 111GB when it's actually 320GB. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

Sure, I'll remove any formatting and keep it clean. Let me know if you need anything else!

You're likely using Windows 7. The article explains how to format a hard drive on that system.

But then again, you can't format part of the drive.

It might have unused areas; try Disk Management or GParted to verify.

Check the remaining areas and see how to use the 180 GB space effectively.
