I have a user with a 6GB drive partitioned into 3 areas. The second area (D:) has 1.99GB of total space. The user has only 18MB of data in this area so far. It has been working fine for many months. Last week he tried to copy a small file to the disk and gets error: Insufficient disk space....
Disk administrator shows 1.97GB free. What is happening here???

Can't tell you the reason, but I have had good success in fixing the problem by sunning scandisk to fix the FAT and then disk defrag.

good luck

First, you can try to empty your recycle bin, after that try to copy file again.
If cannot, try to open and show all the hidden files,if no hidden files, you have to format the partition.
