Captured hard drive

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

I have a 80g hard drive with some 70g apparently used.
However my analysis of the files shows only 6g used.
Something has captured the rest of the drive. How do I
find out what it is and how to get rid of it.

SequoiaView is an excellent free (and clean) utility to track down
mysterious missing drive space.

It provides a one window graphical representation of which files are taking
up how much space where on a drive, often tracking down files that Windows
is reluctant to reveal.
