    SpaceSniffer shows 94GB of unaccessable space


    Hi. I recently noticed that my C: said I only had 42 GB free. Running WinDirStat shows that I am only using about 150 GB of data, though it does only show 42 GB free, rather than 150 GB free (i.e. about 100 GB is 'missing').

    I then ran SpaceSniffer which also shows that i'm using about 150 GB of data but, it also shows 94.5 GB of 'unaccessible space'.

    I further see that spacesniffer says the C: is using 156 GB, but 251 GB 'on disk' (a difference of 94.5 GB).

    Any thoughts as to why there's 94.5 GB of missing/unaccessible space?

    Thank you!


    p.s. I'm running Win 7 home premium on an Asus laptop

    Think maybe space sniffer cant snif that space something about privileges, so it has no access?

    Your screen shots show the partitions as healthy.

Hello, I have currently 4gb or ram (Im pretty sure that my pc used to detect or make use of it all), however i probably have messed up something and it uses only 3 now! It is win7 build 7068 x64 so technically it should make use of it all. Any suggestions? thanks!

Interesting program using a treemap visualization layout, that shows how your files on your hardrive are placed/allocated. SpaceSniffer, find lost disk space the easy way.
