Hello! I have noticed that my hard drive does not use all capacity. I have bought new HP laptop and I can tell you that on my 160 GB hard drive, I cannot access, let’s say, 5 GB. I cannot figure out what the cause of this problem is, but I am considering calling HP technical support. Any idea? Thank you very much!

Hello! Do not call technical support. You actually do not have a problem. You cannot access to 5 GB of your hard drive because there are hidden files. There are actually all system information for your laptop. So, you actually use whole capacity of your hard drive. I hope that my answer helped you!
