All;
I have a 160gb drive that I want to use as a backup for my photos but when I look at in Manage (this is a Win Vista machine) it says I only have 149gb available. (That is also just about 1gb short of being able to back up all my pictures...)
What is that 11gb being used for and is there some why I can recover it? I checked for bad sectors and there are none. I tried doing a low level format but with the same result.
This is strictly a hot swappable backup, not a bootable drive. I know there are system files there but 11 gig's worth?!?!?
Any information would be helpful.
