Solve : Hard Drive Space Gone?? |
|
Answer» You guys MAY or may not remember me, but i had an issue with windows a week or two AGO. i believe my NEW issue may be related... it emediately said that my disk space on drive C: was running low. It's an 80 GB Hard Drive! how could i be low on space so soon? Quote i used Avast! antivirus to scan to make sure there wasnt any viruses on my system, and my system was clean. You can never be certain on a compromised system: Virus scanners AVG Free -- Anti virus scanner Trend Micro Housecall -- Online anti virus scanner. Anti spy/malware Microsoft Antispyware -- Anti spyware scanner. Windows XP Home and Professional only. Spybot Search & Destroy -- Anti spyware scanner Adaware SE Personal -- Anti spyware scanner Firewalls Use both a hardware and software firewall. Be advised as dual software firewalls may cause problems ZoneAlarm Free -- Free firewall - more user friendly Sygate Personal -- Free firewall - more CONFIGURATION options Removal tools The following files are not substitutes for the ones described above. They are either diagnostic tools or removal tools for malware of a certain kind HijackThis -- Manual malware remover. Post the HijackThis log generated only if requested! McAfee Stinger -- Virus removal tool. No substitute for a fully functional virus scanner! CWshredder -- CoolWebSearch removal tool. Widely known and persistant Hijacker. Quote (Unreal II: The Awakening) You'll love the ending. The ending is better than the entire Unreal I single player experience.Avast covers all of the above links, because i've tried half of them already, and they came up with nothing. i'm at a loss now. this might be because i chose to install windows XP on the old broken/existing one without reformatting, hoping i could later get those dang files back... and i'm just getting started with Unreal, i never even had time to finnish the first level. Quote ...this might be because i chose to install windows XP on the old broken/existing one without reformatting, hoping i could later get those dang files back... Probably is. Look at Administrative Tools--Computer Management--Disk Management. The "missing space" will be there. ASSIGN it a drive letter and you should be able to access your files. I looked in Disk Management, and i did not come across any "missing space"... i recently found something else. one of the recovery programs i used a few days back appearently recovered a ton of really REALLY OLD files into my Documents and Settings Folder. files that were already backed up for a long LONG time. so i deleted them, that cleared half of my hard drive's free space O_o. i guess that solves the problem? lol sorry guys, false alarm i guess thanks guys Quote I looked in Disk Management, and i did not come across any "missing space"... Now that you have all of that junk off the drive you could use Eraser to clean up the free-space. Just run through the clean-up procedure below to see if you can make some more space on your drive. |
