your laptop should have a recovery partition also.. so that took up some space.. and most of the laptop now.. with vista.. use a lot of space.. at least 20gb when you first turn it on i believe.. thats what happening to all my vista laptops lately..

120gb =/= 120gb due to HD manufacturers utilizing the wrong equation.

They use 1gb = 1000, WRONG.
Correct form is 1gb = 1024.

Other than that it could be a recovery partition which is roughly 9gb in size if I go by my Sister's dell with Vista Ultimate on it.
