Topic: Used Space Problem

The used space amound for one of my NTFS partitions is a lot different in GParted than in Windows. GParted lists the used space as 3.00GB, while in Windows XP its 0.23GB. I believe that XP has the right amount, because I've erased everthing from the drive. That means only the Windows XP system files should be on the disk (it is my system disk, but not my boot disk).

Any idea why there is a difference in used space?

Re: Used Space Problem

I'll head over to the bug page.

Oh, and Windows is definitely not 0.23MB big_smile. I don't have Windows installed on this partition (C), XP is installed on my second partition (D).
