ATIH 2011 is Imaging Phantom Non-Existent Data ?

Thread needs solution

I use a licensed copy of ATIH 2011 on my computer. It has pretty much worked flawlessly up until now.

My Problem: ATIH is Imaging Phantom Non-Existent Data on two of my Extended Partition's Logical Drives. The Drives are completely empty (just reformatted them today before the Full Image Creation).
During Backup Image Configuration-Setup, ATIH 2011 sees that the Partitions are EMPTY. And I confirmed that they were in fact Empty by looking at the Drive Properties in Windows Disk Management and in Linux (Ubuntu): All they contain is Recycler (85 bytes) and, System Volume Information (1.4KB). But when the Image is Created - the Empty Logical Drives (on an Extended HDD Partition) V:\ and Z:\ contain 72GB and 65GB respectively.

Any Ideas on why this might be Happening ?

Thanks in Advance

Your units are wrong. It reports "MB", not "GB", so almost nothing.

Thank You to "Tuttle" !

Good Catch - I was indeed misreading the reported Units of Size.

At tuttle says: "....... so almost nothing."

Relatively Speaking - Very True.
So I am not going to worry about this any further.

Thanks again tuttle.

PS: But I am still curious what ATIH 2011 is imaging to produce so much more data than I can see on the Partitions even when I look at them with Hidden and Windows System Files Visible (even looked at them in Linux which sees everything).

Windows Disk Management does not report the drives as totally empty. It reports that a small amount of each is in use. That's normal even on what you think is an empty drive.

A certain amount of data would be needed in writing the backup file to record details about each drive. Even an empty partition
