Miscaculated Free space

[Karl Blessing]

I have ran Scandisk, as well as norton disk doctor, both utilities say my F: drive is just fine and has no problems, but that doesnt make sense, I have about 47G Partition, 15G of it is free , but according to norton system information, my F: root and all it's subdirectories are using 5G. here is a couple screenshots, one from the defrag listing from Win2k (showing that I have 35% freespace left, but the graph shows much more than that) and one from Norton System works, showing what the root and all it's subdirectories take up, but with the extra invisible space taken up.

as you can see I already ran defrag, and you can clearly see on the graph there is a heck of alot more than 35% free space, but the computer is reporting it incorrectly.

also the actual drive is 61G, 10G (C is win98, and the remaining space (F is around 47G, I use MaxBlast (Maxtor's version of WD's EzDrive) to get correct caculations, the space free was fine, until after I installed alot of stuff, but even then, all the new stuff doesnt take up that much space, any insights on this people? also the OS is Win2000 Professional.
