I have a 150GB external HDD. I use it mostly for images created by IFW. I
can only count about 70 GBs being used but Windows is warning me that there
is only 13.8 GBs left. I also noticed, setting my folder options to see
system files there're hidden folders/ $RECYCLE>BIN, RECYCLER and System
Volume Info. all are non-accessible. ??

Thank you
 
do a cleanup and use the advanced option to delete all but the last restore point.
on that drive.

Check filesystem on that disk, from GUI, or with cmd command chkdsk /f

It's normal. You don't have enough NTFS permissions to open those
folders. You can, if you run anything as SYSTEM user, for ex. with
psexec.exe from Sysinternals. Preferably Total Commander, but a free
WinDirStat show you almost everything.
 
use front page express, the marquee effect is one of its options.
