You are probably misreading this. It's probably 77 million kilobytes or
something like that.

>maybe there's a hidden partition for restoring the o.s., or something).

Unless you got CDs, you better hope there is a recover partition.

If you have been reading along on the list, you might recall that it is
easier to reduce the size of the partition before installing. After you
install and the install converts the partition to NTFS, you need to use
the most recent version of PM to have a chance of a resize working.

If you are willing to reinstall using the recovery partition, you can do
the resize with what you have.
