SlickVic78 is an unknown quantity at this point
Hello All,

I use my secondary hard drive for video editing, and large file manipulations, etc... Well the drive is a Western Digital 80 Gig HDD. The actual capacity of the drive is 74.5 Gigs.

Ok, so if I open up the drive and select all the contents within it, it comes out to a little over 30.5 gigs. If I were to then just right click on the drive itself and view its properties, it says I used 70.2 Gigs.

If you do the math, that is certainly not correct! :P

Where did the extra space go? And how would I get it back without having to format the drive?

Thanks in advance!
