My laptop has a 6GB hard drive which is down to about 400mb remaining. I
have virtually no user files (documents) and have even removed most of my
programs to get up to 400mb. I have had to reinstall XP a couple of times.
Could this be why my hard drive space is being eaten up? I can't see XP
taking up 5.6GB! After installing sp2 and other updates there now seem to be
many files in the windows directory with rediculously long names (like
$NtUninstalKB835732$) each using several MBs. Are these required?
While I'm asking... add/remove programs won't allow me to remove an old
Norton Antivirus and a couple of other things taking up about 500mb. Tells
me it can not access the network (I'm not now but was once networked in the
office but all the programs were resident on my hard drive). And then
screams fatal error at me.
Could these problems be related? Could it be athat multiple installs of XP
arestill on the hard drive? Could this be a virus?
Thanks
