If I read your message correctly you have a drive on the
Windows machine ( XP ??) that is repoprting incorrectly
after the move and that you have some sort of non-windows
drive although you did not say if that was on the same
machine. Do you have 2 operating systems on the machine?

Although the recycle bin cannot hold 2 gigs try emptying
it. After that try a defrag and see if it will reset to
correct values.
