Hdd free space disapearing?

That's fine - it's just the difference between MiB and MB.

(200/1,073,741,824 * 1,000,000,000 = 186)

edit: oops, didn't read the question.

It says 167 is used. Why do you think less is used?

i'd say run scandisk/chkdsk to make sure theres not a problem with the amount of free space... I had a similar problem a while back and it reckoned i had about 3 gb free.. ran scandisk and voila 100gb free

I think less is used because I can't find all this space used, here is an image of the folders i got on the hdd:

I already tried that from the drive properties screen, but it didn't work, would there be a difference if i do it from that command box (run in the start menu)?

If it's your system drive then you won't be able to do a full chkdsk /r while using it - open a command prompt and type chkdsk /r [enter] - it will ask if you want to schedule it then next time the system is rebooted. Select yes and reboot, then leave it to scan before the OS loads. to find out where your disk space is used you could try Treesize
