mabye he reformat it in a fat 32 or ntfs or some thing
or he made a hidden partition by mistake

Well...how large do you think the drive is? What's the stated size of the drive?

If it's a 360GB stated size...total space when formatted should be about 333/334GB, by my estimate.

A 120GB drive when formatted yields 111GB of useable space on my systems, while a 320GB yields 298GB. I had not heard of a 360GB drive until today.

Your post shows a total of 343GB, which seems to be a bit more than I would expect (from a 360GB).

It it's not a 360GB drive, ignore all of the above .

What an ungrateful !

No one knows everything
