Hmmm . . . something's up then. I can' imagine why a 40 GB drive 
would only show up as 27. Try launching Terminal and doing a sudo 
pdisk . . then hit ? to see the commands. L will show you the 
partition maps and maybe you'll have some unused space. Just hit q 
when done to exit without actually doing anything.
