Wrong size

I have an external Western Digital 160 GB HDD but Windows explorer tells me it is only 508 MB. How do I access the rest?

if there is nothing on it. try to reformat it. but dont chose the fast option.

Check with Space Sniffer ( SpaceSniffer, find lost disk space the easy way. ) to see what's on the disk.

Thanks lorddenis. The disk was completely empty but reformatting has solved the problem although it failed the first time I tried it. All's well that ends well! Thanks again.
