Re: XP Shows Incorrect Disk Allocation

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance




No one is posting a solution to this problem. I thought this might help
some one out there.

I Found out, atleast on IBM Think pads, why it is showing that
behavior. It is actually showing right results. There is this RRbackups
folder. It is this folder that is consuming the space. This folder
cannot be accessed even through the administrator id. Your system might
probably has this Rescue and Recovery application. It can be accessed
through that. If you look below, my system was showing 9.4GB free. That
was before I deleted couple of backups through Rescue and Recovery
application. As you can see it is reporting 19.3GB later.
