I have an old PC with an 80 GB hard drive. About a week ago, I noticed that when I click on "My Computer/Local Disk" that "Total Capacity" now reads 74.5 GB (whereas before it always read 80GB). I did a disk defrag thinking that would solve the issue, but it did not. With such a small hard drive, I could REALLY use the extra 5GB of space. Any ideas would be appreciated! Ron

most hardrive capacity ratings are "rounded off" to the nearest common size.
