I have this hard drive and it is supposed to be 250GB. My properties only show 226 of which 210 (originally) was remaining.

The hard drive has no software installed, basic, certainly not 16GB. I can only account for 6GB and 350MB in recovery and system partitions.

This means this hard drive was missing only came with 226GB of which 16 was already used or is not there, again no software installed. After installing a 350MB Norton program the measurement dropped to 207GB remaining.

Missing 24GB originally with used space of 16GB (6GB recovery and 350MB system partitioned off) and gained used space of 3GB on one install of 350MB. leaving just 207GB left.

Any one hav a clue where my missing GB are?
