    Hello everyone:

    My Windows XP shows that I have more free space than the actual size of the HDD. How do I fix this issue, please?

    Thank you for help.

    In addendum to the above quote.

    Start, run, type in cmd, press enter.

    chkdsk c: /r (Press enter)<---- would be a benefit. See if this fixes it.

    Any questions this command asks for, just type Y press enter.

    Reboot.
