i have vista ultimate

my computer has two physically separate hard drives. on my D drive it
displays in properties as 104GB used, but when i explore it and highlight all
contents, incl hidden files, and click properties it totals 81GB. Where's my
20GB gone?

Da vista monster eats your drive...

it has restore points like XP, that are in a hidden folder..
but it also has "shadow copies" or your previous versions of files that are
also hidden...

you are selecting non hidden folders alone thats why you are not seeing the
correct size
