Abstract Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Not sure if this belongs under Hardware or Software. The situation:Win 7 32-bit.2TB Hard Drive.900GB full, 960GB free (48% used).Wasn't very fragmented.Ran TuneUp Utilities 2010 Thorough Disk Defrag.Now only 127GB free. Windows Explorer and xplorer2 say so.TuneUp Disk Space Explorer says total filesize = 900GB, but also says only 127GB free.I have run chkdsk, checked for Restore Points, Shadow copies, Disk images, page file, hidden files... I can't figure out why the system thinks the space is used, but no files taking up that space. I have spent hours reading about similar issues, but still no fix.It may or may not be related, that this OS install has a bad corruption in device and USB Driver handling and possibly ntkrnlpa.exe. Also, when accessing an external drive, folders show up, but no files. Plugged into a different pc, and the files are there. I will have to re-install win7 soon, but I need to make partition images as a safety net. And to do that, I need my storage+backup drive. The reason I ran the checks and defrag originally is because Acronis failed to make backup image, stating 'bad sector'.Why is the disk reporting full, when it isn't; and how do I fix it?Thank you.
