Dimension E510 Hardrive Space Error

When I click on My Computer, and go to the properties of my C drive, I get the Local Disk C Properties. When I view how much my capacity is for my HDD, it says 71.0 GB. But I really have a 80 GB HDD. How can I correct this?

    Hi
    You can,t fix it it is something about windows and the size of the hard drive.
    My hard drive is a 160 gig bit and windows only see 149 gig bit of it.
    My ext  USB drive is 300 gigs windows only see 279 of it,
    i will read the link again to make sure i sent you to the right one.
    EDIT
    Read the 2 blue links in the massage IT will tell you.
     
    THANKS TO BEV


    You have a 320gb hard drive, then windows will only show 298gb due the difference between the Binary and Decimal Capacities.

    Bev.
