Hd Question

[bulio]

sup ppl, at the moment, i'm only using one hd (20 gig) until I find the money to buy a bettoer one as I just upgraded my g-card, motherboard, ram and cooling system, and i'm using 8 out of the 20 gig space. I find this is a bit too much for me and I have tried deleting numerous prgs that I don't need, and I was wondering, where the heck did all the space go. I'm sure none of my progs take up that much space, so do you guys know any progs that tell me where are this wasted space is and where it is going?

check your software list (add/remove list)
windowsXP : between 1,2 and 2 GB.


when you are using 8 GB it isnt much !!

Biggest folder in Windows XP is System32 but you don't really wanna go in there deleting stuff willy-nilly.

Treesize pro (there are cracks out there)
sequoia view - was free a while ago, I have not used in a while.

Google it too lazy to go link searching.

They both graphiclly display the size of diffrent folders on your hd.

Make sure you dont have a big ass page file. Your page file is deducted from physical disk space.

Might not be the problem but I would check and see anyway ;)
