DFSee is looking at the DRIVE. When you boot to XP, it is looking at the
PARTITION.

There are ways to shrink the NTFS partition. You should look at the
DFSee support group on Yahoo: dfsee-support on Groups.yahoo.com. This
problem has bee discussed many times in the past. Make sure you are
using the latest release of DFSee, currently V 8.08
If you are a registered user of DFSee, you can get help from the author,
Jan van Wijk: support@dfsee.com.
