    Primary Driver now used as slave but showing wrong size


    I have a seagate barracuda 7200.11 500gb hdd that I used to use as my primary drive. I am now using an SSD and connected the sata drive up to use as a second drive but it is only showing as being 500mb rather than GB I have formatted the drive but it seems to default to this smaller size. Any help on getting it back to full size much appreciated.

    :)

    Primary Driver now used as slave but showing wrong size

    Win10 pro 1803 update shows wrong folder sizes

    Windows 10 pro 1803 update shows totally wrong folder sizes. same problem is reported by other users here. Same problem is posted here by other users too, as early as May 2018. I wonder what has been done about it by Microsoft.

    The problem is two fold

    1. If you select a folder directly from left pane of the file explorer by right clicking it, it shows totally wrong total size.

    2. If you left click the folder in the left pane to see listing of subfolders and files in it - in the right pane, and then select everything in the right pane by control +A and then right clicking it to see total size of all folders and filess, the folder
    that is just underneath the cursor is selected and shown at the top of the box that opens to show the total size. Here too it shows wrong size information. I wonder why windows selects name of the folder underneath the cursor to show at top of the box even
    when you select all folders.

    I hope Microsoft will take care of this on urgent basis and not sleep over it.

    I have been using Windows since windows 3.11. Every time there is a upgrade, some old problems disappear and totally new ones crop up in the most unexpected places.

    PLEASE HELP. thanks
