i have two hard drives: a 40gb ibm 7200rpm and a Samsung 20gb 5400. use the ibm as the master. windows is reporting I'm using 29 gbs of it, but didn't sound right. got out the old calculator and saw that, according to explorer, was only using 22gb.
where is the other 7gb? did a similar analysis of the Samsung drive, it checked out? I'm running win XP pro, where is the scandisk utility, or something like it? Am I imagining things, or is something hidden eating up 7 of my GB?
thx
