    Start, settings, control panel, administrative tools, computer management

    See what info you have there, see if there is any unallocated space or unknown drive letter

    Don't know, about 70gb short?

    I would try to copy anything that you may want to save to another location and get a partition software (suggest paragon) and see what information on the drive is avail - may be able to show you more info on the drive and space.

    Others may have some ideas but personally would try to get hold of some sort of partition SW and see what it might show
