I have a Dell PowerEdge 860 running Windows Server 2003 Standard
Edition SP1.
Built in RAM 1GB.
It has 2 x 73GB SATA disks configured in a RAID1 array.
The RAID set has been partitioned into
C Drive - 20GB
D Drive - 20GB
E Drive - 33GB
The swap file of 2048MB is on the D drive
no swap on the C or E
It is now showing something very bizzare
In Windows Explorer (double clicking on 'My Computer') it shows
C Drive - 3.99GB - 50MB free
D Drive - 20GB - 13GB free
D Drive - 33GB - 33GB free
In Computer Management > Disk Management under 'Disk 0' it shows
31MB EISA (Utility Drive)
C 20GB
D 20GB
E 33GB
Where is my 17GB of space on my C drive?
Disk Management shows it correctly, but Windows Explorer shows it
incorrectly.
This has happened on two other servers recently and I had to rebuild
them.
I would prefer not to have to rebuild this one.
Things that it is NOT
it's not me expecting space based on 1024MB per gig when they are sold
at 1000MB per gig
it's not a page file or hidden files.
If it was hidden files explorer would say "C Drive - 20GB - 50MB free"
- but it doesn't, it says
"C Drive - 3.99GB - 50MB free" It thinks my C drive is a 4GB
partition.
Anyone have ideas?
Let's have some hard evidence of your claim. As a first step,
copy & paste the code below in the file c:\DiskParms.vbs,
then do this:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type these commands:
cscript //nologo c:\DiskParms.vbs > c:\DiskParms.txt {Enter}
notepad c:\DiskParms.txt {Enter}
- Paste the tex into your reply
Code starts below the divider line
==========================
Const Removable = 1
Const Fixed = 2
Const Network = 3
Const CDROM = 4
Const RAMDisk = 5
Dim fso, drive, drives, S, TabStop, NewLine, aux
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set drives = fso.Drives
NewLine=Chr(10)
S = ""
For Each drive In drives
' S = S & drive.DriveLetter
S = S & "Drive " & drive.Path
S = S & " " & ShowDriveType(Drive)
If drive.IsReady Then S = S & ", ready" Else S = S & ", not ready"
If drive.IsReady Then
If drive.DriveType=Network Then

Thanx for the reply. It's definitely NTFS
here's the output of your script
Drive C: Fixed, ready, Label=System, FS=NTFS, Total=4293, Free=52,
Available=52, Serial=641C1DE5
Drive D: Fixed, ready, Label=Swap, FS=NTFS, Total=21476, Free=14214,
Available=14214, Serial=2815108D
Drive E: Fixed, ready, Label=DATA, FS=NTFS, Total=36010, Free=35846,
Available=35846, Serial=84C72343
Drive R: CD-ROM, not ready
