what kind of problem reading the files?

Last night i copied some games from my friend hdd into mine
When i plugged in my hdd
At first the space of my hdd dindt decrease
I asked here some people helped me with what they could
Now when i restart or boot up my pc
The hdd space goes from 880gig to about 430gigs
And sometimes the opposite from 430 to 880
But the files i copied were not found there
So basically a ghost using the space
So few people suggested that i should reformat my hdd clean

When you move internal hard drives between computers, fast boot mode in BIOS has to be turned off (in both computers).
If you don't do that, then issues like that happen.

Even if the hdd doesnt have an os on it?
And does that option effects the preformance of the computers?

In Disk Management - right-click on H: and choose format.
All contents of drive H: will be erased and it will be completely empty.
