I think I just fixed the problem. One of the folders I
had, was called \--XP STUFF-- and this folder was 6.6gigs
in size. Well I thought maybe the problem was due to the
folder name, so changed it to \stuffIneed. After this,
all of the drives and their content shows up instantly in
Windows Explorer now.
I also had a zipped folder of a old Win98 install that
was 3.7gigs, but this wasn't really the problem it
seems.
Blind/Dumb luck saves the day!!
