You havent been able to get 1 gigabyte drives since about the late 90's - oh wait, yes, yours might be 1 gB after all.

What operating system? On Windows 7/8 right click on the drive and select properties.

It says...Vista (c) 22.6 GB free of 55.6 GB

Data (e) 18.8 GB free of 54.6 GB

Does that mean i have a lot of space left?

Depends what you use it for. If it's just for web browsing, email and general stuff then it should be fine. If you're editing video probably not. You can create more free space by using disk cleanup

Open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button, clicking All Programs, clicking Accessories, clicking System Tools, and then clicking Disk Cleanup.
