Hello.

I would like to share I problem I encountered and hopefully I could get some help.I have an external hard drive,a Lacie Porsche design which was working flawlessly.

I have Xp professional with Sp2 installed.It's a 500Gb external.I also have a 500 Gb Seagate external and yet another 500 Gb Lacie installed(not the Porsche design)

Up to yesterday I had 200Gb or some, free now I have only 9Gb!!!

I have only 1 folder installed,which is 273Gb.How can I have only 9Gb free?!

At startup it says windows is checking for disk conficiency so I let it check and it says that I have 200 Gb free space.

But when I log in to check I see that it has only 9!

As you can see below ,my drives:



K:Lacie porshe design
E:My other Lacie
D:Free agent

If I right click "properties" I get the same result:



If I click to open the Lacie you will see a folder "Hiper" :



Right clicking it and "properties" you will see that its 229Gb:



Even using a file commander you can see that it has 9Gb left:



I would really appreciate any help because I really don't know what to do!

Both hard drives are Fat32.Should I move my files to another hard drive and format k:?

Thank you so much for your time!!
