Hello Dan,
I recently formatted my Dell Inspiron 1525 from Windows Vista to the original Windows XP. After I deleted all the partitions, I only had an available disk memory capacity of 131g when I'm suppose to have roughly around 250g. I was surfing online and I saw a thread forum of you and the user "Robster057" (
Lost Space on Hard drive after formatting), I think he had the same problem but after reading the instructions you gave him I still do not understand how that had fixed the problem. Please message me back if you can help, thank you.
