chkdsk

How can I recover 15 GB of C: partition ssd space that WinDirStat shows as "unknown" and I cannot access? I know this "unknown" 15 GB is real because Windows File Explorer shows there is an unexplained shortage of disk space. Its 15 GB or perhaps more. I don't have a problem accounting for the...

Hello everyone, I've come across a weird problem that I'd like to share with you: under certain circumstances, Diskpart and some other programs don't report the correct capacity of a hard disk. The disk in question is a new 4 TB, or 3.64 TiB (3726 GiB), Seagate BarraCuda, initalized as a GPT...
