Why and or how did my hard drive get partitioned when I put full disk encryption on my computer?
That depends on encryption you are using. In any case OS creates partitions and formats it (or specialized software). Next if you have software encryption, than special driver is installed which either encrypted files or whole disk by intercepting read and write operations called by OS. If you have hardware encryption, then your whole hard drive is encrypted on hardware level. It means that hardware has extra steps before writing or reading information on hard drive.

What computer compacity do I need for 500 MB of hard disk space would a 8 Gb 750 ram be big enough?
I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean 8 gigabyte Hard disk, yes, that's sufficient. If you mean 8.75 RAM, maybe. RAM and Hard disk are different things. RAM is memory that is volatile - it's deleted when you switch your computer off. The hard disk is non-volatile: It stays there forever, until you delete it.
What does it mean when your computer says hard drive not found?
The best way, I think to answer that is to define what a computer (or in this case the motherboard of the computer) needs to find or identify a hard disk. A hard disk needs a power source, a connector to attach it to the motherboard, and a controller to talk to the microprocessor of the computer. If any of these things fail the hard disk will not function and the computer will not recognize it. In general when you see the message "hard disk not found" its because the computer can't recognize the hard disk. This can be from a bad cable (that connects the hard disk to the motherboard), no power to the hard disk, or a failed controller. In my experience, its usually a bad cable but there are times when the hard disk itself will fail. Generally, hard disk cables are far more fragile than hard disks.
