hey guys, i need your help about my HD space problem.

first, i realise that my computer getting a lot of problem. therefore i try to format again and install again the OS.

before gettting the installation process. it will go to the scandisk procedure. during the scandisk process, there's show a error about the FAT table. i tried to fix it and then the error was fixed.

after that, i install the OS right now. the problem is ... i realize that my drive C: space originally is 19GB, become to 2.x GB right now. so what's the problem anyway ??? is there anyway to fix it ???

 
You formatted your drive for FAT instead of FAT32.

Since you were re-installing, I suggest you boot to a boot disk and run the FDISK program. Delete all your partitions (this will erase ALL the data on the HD) and make a new primary partition. If it asks you to enable Large Disk Support, say yes.
