Re: Size of data on disk looks wrong

Might want to investigate/toggle the Registry key value for SuperHidden.
Key found at:
HKey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

Just as a guess, there's a system protected & hidden folder at the root
level named "System Volume Information" that contains the restore
points. That folder is typically inaccessible but can contain many
gigabytes of information as configured in:
Right-click "My Computer"->Properties->System Restore Tab.

Thanks for replying. That could be a partial explanation of the
difference,
but when I do as you suggest, it shows that it is set for a maximum file
size
of 630MB. But even if I add that, it is still only about 1.6GB, not the
2.68GB
it is reporting.
When, in DOS, I go DIR /AHS /S /P It shows the SVI directory, but it has
no
files and is zero size. There are many thumbs.db files shown, but they
only
add up to 1.9MB.
I have the Tools, Folder Options,View setup to 1. Display contents of
system
folders and 2. Show Hidden and System files. BUT: On the Home Edition
Laptop,
I can't see the SVI listed, whereas on the Media..Desktop, the SVI does
show.
Something very strange is lurking in there.
