Double click on the PC icon; Select Hardware Tab; Scroll until you find the hard drive - probably end of list if its WDC.

Select the Device, then click Properties and you'll get another PopUp that tells you everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask.

Note:
The screen capture is from XP which is what I'm pretty sure Cheeky uses. My laptop triple boots XP, Vista and Win 7. I mainly use Win 7 with Avira Antivir. I don't use XP enough to bother removing AVG and installing Avira.
