i have a 45 gig ibm 75gxp. i know there have been a lot of problems with these drives, but i think this one is unrelated. the reason i think this is because this has also happened to me with a wd drive. anyways, i had about 40 gigs of data on this drive and i wanted to make some room for a partition. so i moved 6 gigs of data to another drive and deleted it from the ibm dirve. however, when i click on the drive properties it only showed that there was 6 gigs free. the total capacity of the drive is 42.9 gig after format. so, originally i had ~3 gigs free and deleted 6 (should have 9 gigs free), but now under drive properties it only shows 6 gigs free. to even make this more complicated, when i open the drive and Select All and check the properties it shows that there is only 34 gigs of data. so somehow i have "lost" 3 gigs of data. i've run windows ckdsk, ibm disk fitness tes, and no problems were found. so, i'm at a loss of what to do - if anything. any suggestions? thanks for the help. cheers.
