My Laptop is not detecting a Hard Drive already there?

So recently my laptop Dell Latitude E6530 started to give me problems. I knew it would happened because Hard Drive did not have a lot of space. However I did what usually everyone would, scan the Laptop using Dell Software for issues. What I came to see is that there is a hard drive in my laptop that has 289GB space! My C: drive had 78GB.


Now what I need to know why can't I see that Hard Drive? Or why can't my laptop detect or use it? Below are the screen shots.


This is the one, I'm talking about. Every where I looked for my Dell laptop specs, I found Hard drive with this much space but I thought maybe Mine just had a smaller Hard Drive:

Now this is my C: Drive

Am I missing something? I'm really confused. Please help me understand this!

Open Disk Management to see a visual representation of the drives to see what you actually have. Some models have a small fast ssd drive for booting plus a larger sata drive for data storage. Some computers have one drive split into diff partitions with diff letter designations.

What operating system do you have? The stats are on this page.
