Dear all,
I decided to format my usb drive because some files created on windows had been locked at it was impossible to get rid of them.
I transfered all my data on another hard drive and started the disk utility to format my drive.
However, my drive being 500GB it only shows 371GB after formating. I guess there around 200GB that have "disappeared". One of the things I know I did is that I deleted some files (that could well have amounted to those 200) and did not bother emptying the bin since I was going to format it. Now that it is formated, impossible to go back to the bin and delete it.
Anyway to COMPLETELY erase the whole disk? It would be too bad, because I need more than those 371 to put all my files back which would mean that I'd have to buy a new drive...
I hope you can help.
