Unhappy Computer Problem

Hi All,

Im using a windows 2000 os on my computer. The processor is Amd atholon 3000+ 64 bit. i have 512 mb ram on the system and 160gb of hdd space. for now i just have 1 partition of 30gb and rest is free. its a regular ntfs partition.

my problem is that my os does not detect the complete 160gb hdd, it just detects 130gb and only detects 458 mb of ram... i know that some amount of ram and hdd space is lost for virtual memory and things, but this seems to be a lot of space.

can ne one help???

thanx in advance...

Try using something like partition magic.
