I am running windows 95. When I shell out to dos with the standard dos
icon and do a dir command,the system tells me I  have 455 meg free
disk space when I only have 90 meg disk space free. I work as a
computer consultant and this one stumps me. I did a Sandisk, Norton
Disk Doctor for Win 95, reinstalled Windows looking for bad
components, but not a complete reinstall of windows. Everything
checked out without errors. 


Symptoms:
Windows 95 recognizes 90 meg of free disk space with a scandisk. Also
when I boot up with the win95 boot disk it also recognizes the 90 meg
free. Why does the dos shell see 455 meg?

I need help with this.
