Hello ZeroC00l

you would have to map the drive and look at it in windows.

Yes I did that, and I used that program, and it still doesn't show the size or how much is left on that drive, so do I just guess? :)

  Hello ZeroC00l
  
  I will have to do some testing with my own external drive and I will get back with you.

    I am wondering if it's a premission issue with Windows 10? I don't know.
