Hello there! I am having Compaq PC and I am pretty satisfied with it. But, it seems like some of the space is wasted for nothing as I have HDD of 60 GBs but its only showing 58, 2 GBs! I havent been aware of this until my space has gone really close to enervation. Whats the cause of this and can I make this space available?

Hi there! First of all, every HDD has that ability to eat itself for some space undefined. You could easily find that wasted space and you could put some files in it. But dont place any extension like .exe and other. Place some documents lets say Word or Notepad. There is no way to rearrange this space because it is meant to be there from the makers. I dont know exactly why but I have the feeling it must be like that.
