Can you explain why my HD shows shows 99.9% full when I know it is only half full, and what I can do to fix it.
This is the second time it's happend. The first time I had it fixed by a computer Technician, he reloaded Windows XP, I don't have the know how, or the funds to keep employing computer buffs. Thanks.

have you tried tools in my computer to clean up the hard drive and defragg?

what size is your hard drive?

Yse I defrgged and disc clean up, HD is 40gbs. I did think of uninstalling/reinstalling Window XP but I don't know how.

have you got a lot of data stored on the hard drive?

have you got just the one hard drive?

Only one HD. Very little in the way of files. The drive went from half full to full for no apparent reason.

have you downloaded anything recently?

have you tried ..start......settings........Control Panel ....Admin Tools..........Computer Management........Disc Management ....when you click on C what percentage does it show?

Done nothing lately to use up half a disc, shows 40gbs, 2.94 gbs left. Basic NFTS.

you must have some large files.

if you go to my docs have a look for some large files also have a look in windows for some very large files

to find large files go

start.....search...files and folders.......all files and folders.......(size) over 1MB then search
