View Full Version : Warning: Private Disk Lite

I "intuitively," created a virtual disk using PrvDskLite.exe, I made it a little too small for the files I wanted to store on it, apparently not allowing for the app's additional file/s creation. The disk held all the files I could put on it, I closed it, re-mounted it, [test], and they were there. However, the next time I booted my computer and ran the app, I could not find the container, and therefore not the files! Luckily, I have a backup of these, but where did this container go?! Is it taking up 900MB on one of my disks somewhere or did it just dissappear?

Please, report the following information to help us better understand what happened to the container file:
1. What file system do you use on your computer - FAT or NTFS?
2. Did you normally reboot the computer or it was a "forced" shut down - powered off?
3. What is your operating system?
4. When you click on the disk properties, are these 900 MB still occupied by something (like a hidden container) or the space is back?
5. Make sure you can see "Hidden files" - probably the container has the "hidden" attribute.
