Android wrong space storage detection

Hi everyone,
I don't know if this is the right place where put my question, if not I am sorry.
I installed on my old Iconia tablet W500 android 4.4.2, but I have a problem with the storage space.
The tablet internal hd is 32GB but android sees as total space only 500MB.
I checked with a Linux Live version, and it sees the correct dimension.
How is it possible? Did I make a mistake in the installation?
Thanks a lot!
Ciccio

Re: Android wrong space storage detection

Are you looking at the size of the entire device, or the size of the storage partition with Linux? The tablet itself is showing you the space on the storage partition.
