Dear,
I recently installed Ubuntu lucid Linux on my PC and I used 100% hard drive for the installation, (not dual boot).
Now in "Computer" (Places-Computer) I can't see the my disk drives, Capacity of my disk drive is 40 GB But all I can see is 1 GB free space. Please refer below screen shot for more details.
Any idea about how to solve this matter?
Thanks,

Dear,
According to the attached screenshot, you have maybe make a mistake during the installation process, the total contents size is 5.5 GB and you have 1 GB as free space, that's mean that your root disk (/) size is 6.5 GB, so to verify is this is really our case you need to install the Gparted utility.
1. You need to boot using a Live CD.
2. Now go to the System menu and open Gparted (you need to write your password).
3. You can see that in my PC there is 3 GB of free space (the gray area). So I will merge this free space with my root disk, to do this I need to click using the right button of my mouse in the root hard drive, then shoes resize/move.
4. Now I need just to increase the new size to the limit, click the Resize/Move button.
5. Click the Apply button.
6. Reboot and open your Ubuntu (Without the live CD).
