Linux harddrive woes

[Gman2008]

Hey guys,

I recently installed Fedora Core 9,got tired of Windows and this seems like a good choice.
My only beef is that I cannot see all of my 80gigs drive,the only space in total I see available is like 6 or 10 gigs.
Can anyone assist me in getting it all up and running,I want to start downloading but im afraid ill run out of space to soon.
Where is the other 60 or 70gigs?

I'm assuming that you didn't format the windows drive? Either case usually fedora will only mount the root / and the swap any other partition should be mounted manually or added to fstab. That would explain the case of the missing gigs

Open a terminal and type

df -B G

and see what the size of the partition mounted at / is.

Are you dual booting? Perhaps you resized the partition and are only seeing the Linux side, as slayerza explained. If you want to be able to see the Windows-formatted partition, you'll need to install an ntfs driver
