Hi, There are a few possible reasons: 1. There are hidden volume shadow copies on there 2. There's a big recycle bin on there 3. The NTFS master table is corrupt You could first try opening a command prompt, then type dir d:\*.* /a /s This will list every file on the D drive. At the end of list you'll see a report of how many files, folders and bytes are being used.
