re: Question about 'Explorer is reporting the wrong amount of free space (FAT32 Free Space Bug)' Friday, February 4, 2005 at 3:45 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Honn (98 messages posted) i think da problem is dat system restore reserves some space to itself (u decide how big this space this) and it never tells u.even if u view hidden files n folders there wud still be a size mismatch.if u try erasing ur restore points except da last one ull notice da size of da mismatch decreased.so probably da left space mismatch is occupied by da last check point.
