    When looking for the make of the hard drive i found the original receipt for the computer and... oh.. my.. god.. I'm an idiot.

    Base
     Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T4200 (2.0GHz, 800MHz, 1MB cache)
     Memory
     4096MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x2048]
     Keyboard
     Internal UK English Qwerty Keyboard
     Video Card
     Intel Integrated GMA 4500MHD
     Hard Drive
     320GB (5,400rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive

    So sorry for wasting your time, thanks so much for your help!
    There's still a mystery 20 GB missing. I'm sure there's some reasonable explanation for that.

    Thanks so much again for the help. I need to get my head checked!


    If anyone actually genuinely has this problem and hasn't imagined it there is a free partition editor for all operating systems that works with 64 bit called parted magic: http://partedmagic.com/

Not Recognizing Hard Drive
in Installation & Setup

Windows 7 doesn't seem to recognize my hard drive during installation. The hard drive, along with the computer, are brand new. In my bios it says: IDE Channel 1 Slave The hard drive is a 500GB Western Digital Caviar Blue and the motherboard is a Gigabyte MA785GT-UD3H.
