I have Windows 10 pro with about 4 different drives of various brands and size. One in particular is a 1TB toshiba hard drive. I use it as a dedicated windows image back up and there are only two folders in the root of the drive, one folder for image backup and I recently put a virtual machine folder in there with a 50gb virtual hard drive. The problem I am having is that windows recognizes the drive as 1TB and says the max capacity is 931gb, but I have only used about 400gb and it is saying I only have 200gb left. Where did the rest of the space go? Both files in the root list their quotas and one is 350gb and the other is 50gb. So I am justing wondering what happened to my space.
Another piece of information is when I started my computer up this morning, it showed as that drive wasn't recognized, in file explorer or disk management. The disk never showed up. After a reboot, that still didn't cause the disk to show up. After going into the bios and making sure the bios saw it, I booted up and it saw the disk just fine. I don't know if this has anything to do with the issue I described above.
Thankyou
