Why does my drive show as 180GB used, but copies only 40GB?
- by Manuel
My computer crashed, so I removed the drive (with Windows XP Professional 32-Bit) and put this drive in another computer running Windows 7 64-bit.
Booting with Win7, when going to My Computer it is showing the XP drive as more than 180GB used. So as a quick backup, I'm trying to copy all the disk's content to a folder, but when I start copying, it's showing only 40 GB as the total size of the files to copy.
I enabled showing system and hidden files in View options. What could be the problem?
