I bought a system from a internet computer co and paid for 20 GB of hard drive space but windows is saying I only have 2gb. I called them and said that my c drive is not configured properly. With help from a friend I installed the operating system and its was pretty difficult for a novice to install the drivers for the Video card and modem. So I dread having to reformat the c drive again to get the other 18gb if it really does have it. Is there ant way to tell the true size of the c drive and to get the other 18gb from the c drive if it is there.
🙁
 
I assume that they formatted the drive using fat16, thats why you only see 2 gig. What version of windows are you running? I have a sugguestion but I've never tried it, so not sure if it'll work.

First convert that 2 gig partition to fat32. Then get a partitioning program, like partition magic by powerquest and resize the partition to 20 gig.

There is another way is just partition the unused partition as a drive D. What this does is, to windows it will look like you have 2 drives, a 2 gig drive c and 18gig drive D.
