| 223326 | 2004-03-17 10:55:00 | I have 2 80G WD 7200 8 mb cache hard drives; I have deleted a number of avi files off one, however it tells me there iss only 11G free space when the files add up to 34G. The total available is 74.5, so 19G missing? I operate windows XP. | lee987 (3775) | ||

Also try clearin out your system restore if thats still on. And just for the record your 80Gb drive isn't 80Gb its about 78Gb in real storage. |
