My dad's computer has a 120GB hard drive. The drive reads with 87.8GB used, but when I do a manual inventory of the files, including hidden files, I only come up with only 47.5GB used. The hard drive is the main and only drive in the system, running Windows XP Pro x32 SP2. It is a Samsung SV1204H. The computer is an HP from the good 'ol Athlon XP days. The system has been sluggish for several weeks. I have run many defrags, virus scans, registry repairs, etc.
In my system, which has a 160GB Seagate 7200.7 SATA drive, I have roughly 6GB that I can not account for. 99.7 used, ~92 accounted for. Again, including hidden files and folders, and page file.
Please not that this used space is just that, used, where, and with what on it I do not know. This is not space missing post-format, but after several years' use.
