I did a factory reinstall once (because my keyboard was messing up... and still did after the reinstall and magically fixed itself, but that's a different story) and after that I somehow ended up with only 10GBs worth of space.

I heard of hard drive issues happening for things over 200GB when you don't have SP1 installed for Windows, but I've never heard of any OS conflicts with a small 60GB HD. Where'd all my space go?

Its hard to tell without more information. Try a program like DiskTriage, I hear it gives you a good idea of what is using your space.
My first guess is that the partition was setup incorrectly. Open My Computer, right-click on your C drive, and hit Properties. What is the TOTAL SPACE and USED SPACE.

Your partition probably is only 10GB and the other 50GB are unallocated right now.
