One of the drives in my system is a WD VRap 150 GB, SATA which I dedicate to only run Flight Simulation. When first installed and formatted it showed 139 GBs available. I have two files loaded on this drive: Flight Simulator X taking 62.3 GBs of space. I also have flight Simulator Addons taking 4.63 KB. A total of 63 GBs. When I subtract the 63 GBs from the 139 GBs I get 76 GBs that should be available. However properties only show 36 GBs available. That shows that there is 40 GBs somewhere. Flight Simulator X runs best on a drive that has around 50% free space and I would prefer to run it that way. No one has been able to tell me what happened to the 40 GBs as yet.
My question is: I have these files backed up as image files on an external drive. Would it be safe to delete these files from the HDD, do a new format and then re-install the FSX files back on the HDD? Is there a chance that will restore the lost 40 GBs? Am I liable to get into trouble here? Thanks for the help.
