Hi, maybe OT but would appreciate any advice.
I'm using a 40gb drive as my primary drive containing XP. I have just
purchased a second 80gb drive as a slave. Both drives are formatted as NTFS.
I've partitioned the slave drive into three. The problem I am finding is
that when I delete something from these partitions I find I'm not recovering
all the space. For example I stored one folder containing MP3's in a 40gb
partition. The folder was approx 15gb in size. When I deleted the folder,
instead of again being left with 40gb, I was left with only 35. I'm getting
the same with my other partitions. Also is their a quick way of
re-formatting an already formatted NTSC drive?. Many thanks.
