Hi all, In need of a bit of help.
I don't usually resort to forums, but I'm out of ideas.
I believe that Windows may be misreporting the amount of free space on my 2nd Drive, It's a 1tb HDD that does not include my installation of windows.
Windows shows it as only having 143gb free, however using in depth drive analysers such as windir and Treesize, only manages to find 600gb ish of files.
I have tried the usual suspects such as temp files, recycle bin etc. and they are all empty.
There are no system restore points on this drive either
Anyone have any ideas? I wouldn't mind if it was only a few gb missing but its almost half the drive, making it impossible to install new games and such.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Harry,
My name is Igor, it's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll do all my best to help you.
Please run command prompt as administrator, run
chkdsk D:
command and show the result. This is the most exact result.
Please note, some system related files may be inaccessible for a programs you are running, so these files will not be counted. It is usual enough the Treesize shows only a part of used space.
