Troubleshooting Hard Disk Drives - Missing Space Issues
I bought a hard disk that is supposed to be a
certain size (say 4.0 GB), but FDISK or Windows Explorer only reports seeing a smaller
number (say 3.8 GB), even though the disk is brand new and empty
There is hard disk space missing on my disk drive;
there should be more space free than there actually is, or the system says the hard disk
is full even though there should be space free
I copied the data from a smaller hard disk volume to a
larger one and now it takes up more space
I have a hard disk that is over 540 MB in size but the system
is seeing it only as a 504 MB or 528 MB drive
I have a disk over 2.1 GB in a system that has BIOS
translation, that FDISK or other utilities see as either only 2.1 GB or as a much smaller
disk, say only around 400 MB in size
