Hello,
Our laptop has 3 "drives" visible: the C: drive, the D: drive (marked DATA) and the E: drive (Recovery, which appears in Disk Management to actually be a partition of the C: drive, as many recovery partitions are). In Disk Management, however, the DATA (D
drive is shown as a completely different disk.
The Vista backup wants to back up to the D: drive, but always runs out of space, although there is nothing on it!
The C: drive has 61.5 GB free of 140 GB, the E: drive has 1.27 GB free of 8.33 (this disk has not been touched), and the D: drive has 36.2 GB free of 149 GB.
Now, if you add the C drive to the E drive, you come up with the full total of the D Drive, 149 GB. But I still can't figure out why the D drive is showing as having used 112 GB when there is nothing in it! (and yes, I am able to view hidden files and system files)
Even if you add up the amounts used on the C and E drive (79 and 7), you can't equal the amount that has supposedly been used on the D Drive. I just can't make sense of it.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
