So I have some familiar background and experience with ubuntu such as adding repositories, installing drivers, installing packages and software like spotify and skype, etc. But that was on my laptop. Yesterday I wanted to add ubuntu on my windows 7 pc just for the kicks of dual booting. Before I would use wubi to install ubuntu I made a 30gp partition in which I would use to install linux on. I ran wubi and installed a 7gb installation of ubuntu on my 30gb partition. After installing I got into ubuntu 12.04, upgraded it to 12.10, 13.10, and 14.04(current) no problem. Then I started to install and update drivers. I installed spotify and skype no problem, however when I went to install steam I recieved an error which stated(Steam needs at least 250mb to update). I thought to my self "Wow that's weird, there is no way I used up 30gb already". I passed it off as a bug.
However rebooting ubuntu I noticed spotify was gone and when I started it up it failed to load. I rebooted again and went over to windows 7 and saw that a huge portion of memory was still empty and free space. Once I got back into ubuntu I saw that the space being used for ubuntu only has 6.8gb used. I don't understand, I thought I had a partition of 30gb and it isn't picking it up? Could someone please help me with a solution? Thanks!
when I use df -h in the terminal the following appears:

/dev/loop0 6.4G 6.4G 39M 100% /

P.S sorry for the long desc. I somewhat feel that the 7gb installation has to do with why 6.8gb is fully used and not the entire partition.
