    Hi

    I bought the above laptop with two 120GB hard drives but in Windows explorer I can only see two disks one (OS C: ) with 99.1GB and one (RECOVERY D: ) 9.99GB.
    The OS is Windows Vista Home Premium

    Any ideas wheres the rest of my disk space?

    Cheers

    yes, if you hold the 'fn' button while turning on your computer it will start a system check and i imagine youll get an error (most probably 2000-0146) which essentially means that your hard drive is gone poopie and will need to be replaced

    Right Click on Computer in the Start Menu and goto "Manage" , once that popup window shows up , select Device Manager, and under that on the right hand side where it lists all the hardware in your laptop click on Disk Drives, see how many are listed there. If its just the one then there may be a problem as stated above with the second hard drive. How old is the machine?
