The hard drive contains the operating system of the computer, other application programs and backup files. These programs and files are pre-installed on your notebook, so you may note that some of the space on your hard drive is already taken. The Windows operating system cannot use the full capacity of the hard drive, which means that there will be a difference between the capacity that the BIOS displays and what the operating system displays. The operating system of the notebook, further application programs and backup files are located on the hard drive and reduce its total capacity. The configuration of your hard drive can be displayed and configured under "Disk Management". To familiarise yourself with the hard drive configuration, search Windows Help for the key word "Disk Management". In your first partition (C:\) you will find the operating system, application programs and the users' documents.
