I just recently bought a 250GB Western Digital hard drive. I used it as a secondary drive to store videos and it worked fine.
But one day it when I was transferring video onto it, the computer froze and I had to reboot. When it came back up, 250GB drive was empty. When I looked at it's properties, it still had about 100GB of used space. But when I opened it up it was empty. I didn't really care too much about recovering the data, so I reformatted the drive. But it still shows about 100GB of used space!
It seems to work okay, but why is it doing this? Is it a serious problem?
Thanks for any help!
