Default disk incorrectly reporting low disk space

I am running XP PRO Version 2002 service pack 2 . I recently installed a
second hard drive of 232Gigs running as a shared network drive with the
business critical apps on it. I am getting a low disk space warning saying
that there is only 10 meg of space left on the drive this is also verified by
disk properties. However if I go to the hard drive and select all and show
properties its only reporting 45GB of used space

Default Re: disk incorrectly reporting low disk space

If others have folders on there you may not have permission to see them or contents which will
effect space size. I have seen this on a 2K server where a folder will report 0 megs because I had
no permissions to it, although there was actually stuff in there.
