Temo: Todays Problem ?

I have just installed another hard drive on my PC. It was an old 20.0 GB one i had. I did fdisk and formated etc... all fine.
Started pc up in Windows as normal, went into My Computer, right click, properties on the new disk and a lovely empty, totaly free one there (all pink lol).
After a while i have just been and looked again at it, and now have a small blue line and its saying 32.0 KM used.
Thats the problem, how do i find out what is putting things on there. If i look on the disk it is empty apart from 1 Hidden file ??.
I used to have a 2nd disk in there last year for storing Music etc... on, so there could be something set to direct data to it on my system already.

Problem: Where is this Data and why can't i see it ?
AND also how can i track down what is putting it on there ?

Is the hidden file the "Recycle Bin"? The hidden file is probably whats taking space.

I think...
when windows access a drive (that does not have Windows on it)it creates a "Recycle Bin" automatically. You can change your folder options to show hidden files.

I have just looked in Norton "Recycle Bin" settings and it does show the new drive (says its the same size as my C: for some reason, but still LOL). Let me go and look and change the folder options.
