We can't fix problems in Windows.

I also saw this problem on my recorder 20. When attached
to the USB port, windows saw free space as 5gb whereas
the number displayed in the info window was 0.1gb

This problem when away after I wiped, formatted, and
reloaded my disk.

Microsoft Windows does not update the free space information
on the disk according to the filesystem specification.
Therefore Rockbox does not know the amount of free space
without recalculating itself (press play).

AFAIK, this problem does not occur when using Linux to copy
files.

To my knowledge, there is nothing we can do about this until
Microsoft either tells us where they store their free space
information, or they start following their own
specification. I’m not holding my breath for either one…

Your explanation doesn’t fit all the available data; to wit: the
problem was “fixed” on my box when I wiped the disk and
reloaded.

Also, how does this problem affect space allocation for
recording?

This problem does not affect space allocation, only the free space
display. It’s the sum variable that’s wrong, not the block allocation
bitmap.
