HHD space lost

[nigel stanley]

Good morning. I have an issue with my HDD space. I have a MacBook Pro running mavericks. I have a 500GB HDD but I have just noticed this has shrunk to 315GB leaving me only 95GB of space left and not 300GB as expected. I have Verified and fixed the HDD in Disc Utility but it stays as 315GB. I am at a loss. Any help would be most appreciated. I do not know how long this issue has been apparent but I am concerned the HDD is failing.

Post 2 screen shots of Disk Utility.

First one with the top line highlighted in the sidebar and with the Partition tab selected.

You don't have a 500 GB drive, you have a 320 GB drive.

What model MBP do you have?

Here is that drive at Amazon.

model is MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011). I am sure it showed 500gb a month or so ago ! Now you have confused me

I have checked on the apple site and it says 320gb. I must be going mad ! Thanks Bob for your help.
