I'm a new mac user, so if this is a dumb question, I'm sorry.

I have my desktop set to show item info.

It used to show how much disk space I had left on my hard drive, as well as total size of the drive...

I don't know what setting I hit, but now, it only tells me total size, on it and any mounted network drives.

How can I make it so it shows me the amount I have left?

Huh, weird. You've tried just unchecking and rechecking the option?
Mine seems to work fine:

I have no experience with this issue, but when last have you logged out? See if restarting the Finder helps.

Same issue, almost....on my Mac mini it shows how big the disk is and also how much space I have left. On my Powerbook, it only shows how big the disk is...Is there something I'm missing here?

Apple J when in Finder mode and select/deselect the options.

Tried Apple J and "Show Info" and still only shows disk size and does not have space left...

Not sure why, Apple J -> "Show Info" works like a charm on my mini.
