Okay I'll try to explain this as clear as possible so I can avoid any confusion. I was having CPU throttling issues which I thought may be attributed to overheating, so I went inside my PC to re-seat the processor with fresh thermal paste. Upon restarting my computer (I switched around some of the SATA and power cords) the windows install on my 300gb intel SSD said it was corrupted. After failing to recover it, I performed a fresh install of windows 7 ultimate x64 on the SDD. During the install however, I noticed the SSD was only registering as being 111GB. There were absolutely no other partitions showing up with the exception of the system reserve (100Mb). I went ahead with the install having no other choice, and sure enough when everything is set, windows registering the 300GB SSD as being only 111GB.
Given that I have very little experience in dealing with this specific issue, I was hoping that someone more intelligent than I could help me work through this issue so that I may potentially recovery my missing 200GB. I'll start off with another image that may help:
In the disk defragmenter, there is this suspicious drive present. I have a feeling the previously corrupted installation is somehow hiding the space from view but I'm not sure. I would very much appreciate any help that can be given. Thanks ahead of time and let me know what other information you may need!
