Windows 7 - Can't view folder size on backup drive with Explorer
| |

| | Can't view folder size on backup drive with Explorer When I backup to an external USB drive, Explorer shows the 2 folders created (WindowsImageBackup and MYNAME-PC) as having 0 bytes, 0 files and 0 folders when right clicking those folders and looking at Properties. Yet, if I right click the drive icon, Properties shows the drive with 15GB of used space. Is this normal? I'm not using third party software for the backup. |

| | Yes it is normal. Windows Explorer does not go where it does not have permission to go. |
