I did the math and should be 135.4 Gb instead of 115 Gb that you said and which my system shows anyway! I do not now realize where are the 135.4-115=20.4 Gb remaining! Right, my bad. My numbers got scrambled. Forget the 115. It should be 135.4 - is that what is shown as freespace? If your system shows 115 (or maybe I misunderstood what you said), then the question is whether you have another partition on that disk - maybe even a hidden partition. -- whs |

Actually, it shows 115 Gb so I think somewhere 20.4 Gb are somewhere in my Hard Drive ! I do not have another partition, is any other way to find if do I have a hidden one? Is not the matter that 20.4 Gb will save my life but I would like to know!!! Thanx! -- Jungleyes |

Open C:, go to "Organize" Folder and Search Options View button in "Hidden files and Folders" click "Show hidden files and folders". It is very likely that you will find the recovery partition D:. -- whs |

Ya right. It is apparently not as easy as I thought (I am getting old). Try Easeus ( http://en.kioskea.net/telecharger/te...rtition-master ). It is supposed to have a function with which you can unhide a partition. But I am pretty sure, your 20 Gigs are in the hidden recovery partition. -- whs |
