I reformatted my computer because a virus. Before I did, the available space was like 160 GB and the used space was around 40 GB. Now I have 12 GB of available space and 48 is being used. wtf

You didn't partition it correctly, perhaps?

Well if it helps any, i had 2 OS's running (Linux and Windows) and i formatted my HDD to reinstall freshly, and i only had 180 GB of space when my HDD is 250 gb. so i had to open the Partition Manager for windows 7 and move the space from my Linux partition over to the main C:.
If you use Windows 7 or Vista you can do the following to fix one of the partitions:
Right click Computer>Manage>Click Disk Management on the left, if you see a block with "Unallocated" you can right click the main C: (which is mine) and Extend Volume.
Hope it helps.
