If you have moved your pagefile and hibernation file, or windows System Restore points. Try to enable Show hidden files and folders , and to disable Hide protected operating system files from the folder options. | |

He's got about 100,000 entries, a 100gb difference would require a cluster size of a megabyte--something that I don't think is an option. I think it's much more likely there were hidden files that weren't copied. | |
