Hi guys.

I would be glad if some of you knew the answer to my situation:

I recently installed windows 7 Home Premium x64 on Fujitsu Siemes Celcius W370 80+ with Intel Core2Duo E8400, 8 GB DDR2 and 128 GB Intenso SSD.

The problem is that windows won't report the second hard drive space correctly under Windows Explorer. The hard drive is a WD Blue 320 GB split in two. The first partition is read correctly as the second is not, it only reports 20 MB with 14.3 Mb free, where in fact the capacity is 148 GB in total and only 112 GB used with 36.6 GB free. Now, Computer Management can see the correct size even when inquiring the Properties under right click menu, but Windows Explorer won't, not even under Properties. This problem won't let me copy files to the disk reporting "not enough space". I can see all of the files though, every folder property sows correct size but can't seem to go around this problem.

It happened even with the old operating system. (not the reason for re-installing).

Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Thank you for your time.
I attached three pictures explaining the situation.

Windows updates are all up to date, activated and good to go.
