| | RE: HDD messing up? please help Are you sure you are not looking at the amount of free space, rather than the size of the drive? The column that shows by default in 'Computer' is free space, not total size. If your drive partition is genuinely changing size like this then you either have some third party boot software installed that is dynamically resizing the partition (unlikely) or more likely your disk's partition table is very corrupt, replace it immediately.
