ner Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 .. But is empty?Hi allI have a second hard drive that is around 200GIG's during installation i also formatted this drive, so its all clean and not used.I created a ghost image of my C drive and saved this on the second drive - without any issues. The file created by ghost was some 12.7 Gigs.Re-booted into Vista and connected my USB drive and copied the ghost image file from the second hard drive onto the USB disk.All went OK also.I then deleted the ghost image file from the second hard drive and then Vista reported the drive as full!!.Righclip on properties showed, working....after re booting system the drive shows as empty ?does anyone have any ideas what happened?

cluberti Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hard to say, although since Windows gets a good portion of this information from the MFT and the chipset driver/disk controller driver, it's at least possible that the driver didn't complete it's IRP during the delete, or didn't update the MFT, etc. Which a reboot would of course clear...I can (educated) guess with the best of 'em .

ner Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 thanks for the info,now thats a little worrying as i downloaded the lastest chipset software from intel, as HP did not have the vista version just for xpso it may be a driver issue then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
