I bought my PC about 5 months ago and since then I've noticed my HDD has only 1.5 GB assigned to it. Many things show I actually have 32 GB.

I have just been installing my programs to my D: drive instead of my main drive.
(My D: drive has 8 GB)


C: drive showing only 1.5 GB:

Where does it show 1,5 GB on HDD, C: partition ? It shows 149GB (probably a 160GB HDD) with 75.6 GB empty and rest taken by windows, installed programs and personal files.
