Default How to make Windows see all free space?

Hello
There are only 18 GB of files and folders on my Samsung SP2514N disk, but
Windows XP SP2 shows that 120 GB are occupied. How to make Windows see all
free space? Windows showed some bad clusters on the disk during its full
disk check, but a Samsung check disk utility shows the disk is healthy.
Windows began to show that 120 GB are occupied after the full disk check by
its check capability.

It's not a question of making Windows see all free disk
space but a question of making you see what's using
up your disk space. The figure of 18 GBytes of used
space is most likely incorrect. These tools might help
you see what's going on:

DriveUse:
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~nulif...are/index.html
Bullet Proof Folder sizes: http://www.foldersizes.com/

You should also run chkdsk.exe /f in order to turn lost
clusters into files which you can then delete.

Thanks Pegasus.
TreeSize shows that files and folders occupy only 18 GB also.
Is chkdsk.exe /f - a full check? I ran a disk check in the disk properties
with the both check windows checked two times. Is the disk check the same as
chkdsk.exe /f?

Try this:
1. Start a Command Prompt
2. Type this command: chkdsk c: /f
3. Reboot the machine.
4. Let chkdsk run.
5. Run the batch file below.
6. Examine the two log files, then report the following:
a) The output from chkdsk. It looks like this:
5662408 KB total disk space.
3495896 KB in 24581 files.
7772 KB in 2333 indexes.
0 KB in bad sectors.
149120 KB in use by the system.
22544 KB occupied by the log file.
2009620 KB available on disk.
b) The last "file(s)" line of the "visible" file listing.
c) The last "file(s)" line of the "hidden" file listing.
d) The output from diskpart.exe. It looks like so:
Microsoft DiskPart version 5.1.3565

Check out View Folder Size Pro at
http://www.moveax.com/viewfoldersizepro/
Very handy utility - it will show all your folders sorted by size
directly in Windows Explorer. The program is fast, efficient and gives
you a lot of configurable options. The program can show you your disk
space usage as a diagram, making it easy to see. It's a slick program
for monitoring specific folders or for finding out exactly which
folders are taking up the most disk space.

Thanks Pegasus,
I run the chkdsk c: /f
The check did not find anything wrong.
Where "below" is "the batch file"?
How to "run the batch file below"?

I ran the chkdsk.exe /f. The chkdsk.exe /f did not turn lost clusters into
visible files.

Thanks Pegasus,
I will do this tonight Moscow time on my home computer.
How to zero information about bad clusters in Windows, for Windows to create
this information again? The Windows could determine clusters as bad, because
strong fragmentation existed on the disk after formatting and cloning from
old boot disk to the new one in Samsung Disk Manager.
MHDD utility shows the following amount of blocks on my HDD with times:
<3ms 1 724 317
<10ms 190 673
<50ms 293
<150ms 1
This means the disk is completely healthy?
