hi ive done a succesfull hdinstall knoppix 3.6 , on a pc and a laptop, but the same problem is now showing

when you right-click and get the folder properties it shows 0mbs left in 2.4gb ! ok im out of space BUT, Qparted, CFdisk etc all show that Hda1 is 9gb

why cant i use or see the missing 6.6gb as im running Desknow / Limewire / Medio all of which need large drive spaces

Help

fdisk -l shows the following
start finish blocks id system
/dev/hda1 1 1216 9767488 83 linux
/dev/hda2 1217 1277 489982 82 linux swap
/dev/hda3 1278 2219 7566615 83 linux

yes i can coppy and set links to hda3 , but it still leaves a very small area to actually work in
ps im still a relative noob
