    Vista gives "not enough space" error when copying to "Documents"

    I have a C: and a E:, C is vista, E is everything else.

    I moved all the files under my user directory to the E drive. When I access
    the documents directory through the start menu, the address bar says "> User
    > Documents >"


    I tried to copy a 15GB directory to here, It failed saying I only had 14GB
    of space. Which I do have 14GB of space on C: but not on E: I have 800GB of
    space. I verified that the folder is located on E: by copying a file smaller
    than 14GB to "> User > Documents >" and it ended up on E:.

    When I access the documents directory through Start > computer > E: > users
    > user > documents > the copy works just fine.




    Bug?

    How did you move the user files? Did you use the location tabe under
    properties?
