    ok, back to one more thing.
    where do you see size of partition(30GB), and where do you see size of files on disk(25GB)?

    My guess is the missing 4gb is in the Windows partition and can only be used by your o/s for updates and stuff.

    Hmm, just reread your posts, is your hdd 200gb or 30gb?

    How big is the MFT?

    Is the 25GB the total amount of data, or the total disk space taken up by that data?

    If it is the total amount of data, does it include any space occupied by hidden files?

    Have you run CHKDSK?

    I wonder if optimus_prime has qualified as a dentist yet, he must surely feel that getting relevant information from you is like pulling teeth.
