Windows 7 HDD Partitions...
When Windows 7 installs on your HDD, it creates 2 partitions, as you have noticed. One partition is the System Reserved partition, and it is approximately 100MB( MegaBytes ) in size. The second partition it creates is your Useful Hard Drive Disk( HDD ) Space; in other words the space you can use.
I am not sure what you mean by:
I am guessing that you mean - You have an 18GB( GigaByte ) file in your usable Hard Drive section? Which leaves you with 231.9GB of free space.
However you are seeing that as being full? Perhaps you have TEMP files that need to be deleted? OR System Restore Points gone crazy. These files will not show in your Windows Explorer, but will be calculated in your total HDD usage.
You could download CCleaner( FREE ), and use it to "clean" your HDD. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
***NOTE: You should NEVER store anything in the System Reserve, as it is used for... Well, the System.
