It seems like I can't access some on the files stored on my hard drive in Windows (98SE). When I right click and go to properties of the drive, it clearly shows that 56.9 GBs of it has been used. However, when I go look through the files, I can only see/access 40.2 GBs of it. What can I do to access the other 16.7 GBs of files that I can't seem to be able to view?
Also, this hard drive has been problematic from the start. It's a replacement for my older Maxtor HD which I RMA'ed. This drive usual fails every now and then and to solve the problem I would unplug and replug the IDE and power cables. I plan on RMA'ing this drive once I get home from college during winter break.
Thanks.
Edit: I've tried accessing the missing files in DOS and it didn't work.
Edit: I know there is definitely a problem because this is my storage drive and I'm missing folders of files.
