I've just installed it, partitioned as NTFS and it shows up in Computer. I'm not worried about what is currently taking up space (71.8mb out of 99.9 available) but I want to know where the other 119.9 GB has gone. Is this a partition problem or possibly a Host Protected Area? Nothing is currently installed on the SSD and I have updated the firmware.

Sounds like maybe Windows installed a 100 MB partition.

Go to Start>Run>diskmgmt.msc>Enter, and see what it shows for your new drive. May just need to format it and assign a drive letter to make it accessible.

Yes, that's it. Thanks. I was looking at the wrong disk in Computer Management.
