Are you saying that the maximum capacity shown is now less than it was before?

Try emptying your recycle bin.

also the Treesize program below will show you where your space is being used on your hard disk.

This might be because drives are mesured in METRIC MEGABYTES and KILOBYTES.

So instead of 1024 Megabytes = 1 GB | 1000 Megabytes = 1 GB

But computer work at 1024, so if you were to purchase an 80 GB drive.
that would be an 80GB metric Drive.

But windows would pick it up as something under 80. as it does not have excalty that correct numbering system.

Hope this helps.
