I bought a Sony FS115B model 60GB one. but the computer just shows a total of 48 GB. When I contact Dixons where I bought it they give some weird reason of shared graphics or something of that sort. Could anyone help me out on this issue! <BR />Cheers,<BR />Jefferson<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 14 Apr 2005 14:21:35 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/hard-drive-problem/m-p/128766#M111311 Jeffe 2005-04-14T14:21:35Z Re: Hard Drive Problem https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/hard-drive-problem/m-p/128767#M111312 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Easy. Normally a small part from the hard disk (+- 10Gb) is used to store the Sony system. This is absolutely normal.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 14 Apr 2005 14:31:35 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/hard-drive-problem/m-p/128767#M111312 itbroker 2005-04-14T14:31:35Z Re: Hard Drive Problem https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/hard-drive-problem/m-p/128768#M111313 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It might have to do with the fact that your recovery DVD/CD's are on "hidden" partion. I would call SONY and ask them. The dixon's story is Bull*. Shared Memory only takes space from your RAM and not your HDD space. sheesh, makes me mad these kind of sales men.:smileydevil:<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 14 Apr 2005 14:35:11 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/hard-drive-problem/m-p/128768#M111313 Foxhound 2005-04-14T14:35:11Z Re: Hard Drive Problem https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/hard-drive-problem/m-p/128769#M111314 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hello!<BR /><BR />Have your HDD drive C and D or just C only? Usually Vaio comes with two partitions on 60GB HDD. Have a look to under Windows Explorer may be that solves your problem.<BR /><BR />Cheers<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 14 Apr 2005 14:35:42 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/hard-drive-problem/m-p/128769#M111314 cmsd 2005-04-14T14:35:42Z Re: Hard Drive Problem https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/hard-drive-problem/m-p/128770#M111315 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>If you bought a 60GB HDD, then you would never have 60GB free on this HDD.
