    I have a 200gb hard drive and so have about 186gb available to me. When i select everything a choose properties and let it calculate the size (including hidden stuff) it only comes out to about 35 gb... however windows says i am using 66 gb of space on the drive (says i have 120gb left of 186) why is this?
