Re: Backup Question

Your 300 gig drive is roughly 279 gig after formatting (300 x .93151 = 279.453 gig).

I have a 300 gig external drive I use for backups. It says I have about 40 gigs free space. When I add the file and folder sizes that are listed, I come up with around 60 gigs. That means there is almost 200 gigs floating around that are not accounted for. Can someone give me a reason why this situation exists. It seems that a lot of space is being counted as used, even though, from the list, this does not show up.

Any advice would be appreciated.
