Hello,

we have an 80 GB HDD (ATA), with two partitions (C: and D:). Although the D:
partition still has plenty of room, we have the following problem:

A right-click / properties in the Windows explorer on D:\ shows that it has
an overall capacity of exactely 1 GB, of which 870 MB are still free and 130
MB are used (which is, of course, nonsense).

However, if I check that very data in the computermanagement console of the
SBS2003 Server, I get the correct values: more than 27 GB of free space on D:

Has anyone got any idea of why this has happened and how it can be
corrected? I can't copy any files bigger than 870 MB now, and that is
problematic.

Thanks a lot in advance!
