I have a 1 TB hard drive. 700 gb is devoted to videos, and 50 gb is to all the rest of the computer, like games, program files, and some computery stuff that I don't really know much about. But my computer says that I'm down to only 60 gb left? Where the hell is that missing 200 gb?

Can you do something for me, TC? Open "Disk management" and screenshot what shows up in that window, and I can hopefully tell you what that missing space is doing, because it could be one of a few reasons.

If the HDD came with the computer, there's almost certainly a "recovery" partition hidden way, because every OEM is just too damn cheap to toss in a recovery disc anymore (and sometimes don't bother with an optical drive anyway).

200 GB is vastly absurd for that, though.

Probably crash logs/dmp files. You can go to the drive, show hidden files, and fire properties on every folder until you pinpoint it.
