Hay TG i just recently installed fresh copy of my windows xp sp2 and it was running great untill the Windows Partion of my hard drive started loseing free space!!!!! (allso i have Norton anti-virus 2002 installed and zone alarm pro v6)

let me explain...........

its a 25gig (called drive C: partition on a 250gb hard drive that allso has to other partitions D: which is another 25gig partition for another windows And F: which is a 200gb partition for my data

anyway the problem with drive is it that lately its started losing free space not from installing stuff or modifiying windows page file and recyle bin useage and all that but actuley loseing Free Space

after installing all the drivers and windows xp and a game free space was around 6.50gb then its been loseing space from that point!!!! its now down to 5.00gb!!!!!! HELP!!!! ARRRRG ARRRRG

and if theres no way of fixing it ill consider formating but at last resort!

Get rid of the 2002 Norton. It's buggy, and I don't think they support it anymore.

Also get yourself behind a hardware firewall router. That way, you can get away without an A/V for awhile until you fix things. You can install Avast when you settle things down.

Go to these three places and delete everything XP will let you. Don't worry; they are all temps left behind.

1. Start - Run - %temp%
2. C:Windows - Prefetch
3. C:Windows - Temp

Then start Chkdsk - right-click My Computer - Explore - right-click the "C" drive - Properties - Tools - Error Checking. Check off the two boxes, and reboot. This utility will run. 25g drive should take 15-20 minutes.

When you get your desktop back, check your space now.

Go to Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs. Check to see if you have some apps on "C". Perhaps you can remove them, and reinstall on "D".
