Wrong Disk Free Space



Hi,

I have a windows server 2003 with SP1, it's just a file server and domain
controller. No Exchange, SQL or other "heavy" services.

I have a partition of 25GB (total capacity 23.9GB). The total of files and
folders in this partition ocupies 3.36GB (3.34GB Size, 3.36GB Size on Disk),
including all hidden and system files, according to the properties in
explorer.

The problem is that free space in explorer is only 5.79GB.

In the properties of the partition drive, it shows 18.1GB Used Space and
5.79 Free Space.

Shouldn't it be 3.93 Used Space and 19.96 Free space?

Where did all that space go?

I don't have disk quota enabled, nor shadow copies. I turned off Indexing
for this drive, but nothing changed.

Can anyone help me on this, please?

Thanks
.
