Can anyone help?I'm trying to understand why when I create a ghost image of a Windows Xp partition the Size (even with max compression) of the image is about 1 gig larger than the actuall contents of the partition(I right click on the contents of all folders and select properties and it says about 1.34 gig when I right click properties on the c drive in my comp. it says about 3.6 gig used space).I've UNhid all hidden system files and folders.I'm mystified ;(

Well I think I figured it out.I turned off system resore on My C drive and now when I right click properties on the C drive I now have the correct drive space .I cant believe it was storing that much data!
