By any chance, do you have 141 GB of stuff on your PC?

I really wasn't sure if it was sarcasm or.... you know.... the other thing. Either way, I decided to just let it go

Is it possible you were sold the wrong drive?

Right-click the drive -> Properties -> Hardware
The HDD should be listed in the listbox. Look for the correct drive and type the code into google to make sure you have the right drive.

Another thing:

Start - > Run -> diskmgmt.msc

Check to make sure the size of your partition utilizes the whole drive space. If there is blank space left after the partition, then you can resize the partition. To resize the partition, you have to use a different tool.
