WinDirStat and C: Drive Readings Different?

[Help Plz]

I am trying to move from a 1 Tb WD Blue HDD to a 240 Gb Samsung 840 Pro SSD. To make it so that my data will fit onto my 840 Pro I moved all my games, documents, music, pictures, videos, and projects onto a different Toshiba HDD temporarily and then deleted them off the WD HDD. However, when I went to the Samsung Data Migration Utility it said my HDD was still over 100 Gbs too big. So I went to WinDirStat (a program for analyzing drives), and it told me the WD drive was 51.1 Gbs (which seemed about right). Then just to confirm WinDirStats readings (even though it is a very trusted program) I checked the C: drive properties (the C: drive is the WD drive) and it told me it was 341 Gbs (which would match the Samsung Data Migreation Utilty). What should I do??????

Thanks?

Hey there, Help Plz!

I'm sorry to hear about your WD Blue HDD 🙁
Awesome job with the backup of the data to another drive.
I'd suggest to test the drive using WD's diagnostics utility - Data LifeGuard: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=UF6M43
It will test your drive's health and show us the SMART status.
Also I'd suggest to check Disk Management and see what is the capacity of the drive there and also if there are any unusual partitions on the WD Blue. Here's a link how to access it: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/disk-management-windows-7.htm
The hard drive should report its correct size in the Disk Management window. If you can upload the screenshots, that'd be great!

Keep me posted! Hope I helped!
