If you have an alienware laptop, chances are they also have a rescue partition on there, which uses about 10GB, so I could see 53GB available out of a 73GB disk.

When you say quota, are you saying 53GB is used or is 53GB available.



both...my laptop has a 100GB HDD. and a good half of it is missing. i installed a program that told me what is taking up the most and theres files in my user profile thats taking up a whole lot but i cant tell if they are important or not.
