I want to know the answer to this question also. This same problem happened to me too. Wiping free space, one pass, same HD size, using Windows 7 Professional. Time kept increasing - cancelled after 10 hours. Should have close to 180 GB free space, only showing 50 GB as free. I just didn't know how to reclaim my free space - will try deleting my restore points. Thanks esoteric17.
