Yeah it should be because they did not do anything to my computer except to tighten the screws on what looked like a fan cos it was loosened due to a drop

They've maybe fitted a new "cracked" one.

For future reference, you can use this to audit your system so that when you next take it in for 'repairs' you'll have an easy means of determining what's changed.

I suggest you print a copy of that and take it with you next time you visit them.

Wonder what it means by 7.99GB usable disk drive capacity? Does this mean that it knows more is there, but can't be used?

some will be taken up by system overhead (v small these days) so basically its 8 GB minus a little bit for low level system stuff

This can't be right......it doesn't even know it's cracked, it thinks it is healthy:rolleyes:

As you've already been told, sadly you've been totally scammed by some unscrupulous halfwit. I hope this turns out for the best but would really suggest you name and shame the scammer

Yeah, but what I was really referring to was; does it know that the drive is 80GB but only 8 is usable? Probably not though when it thinks it is healthy!
