hard disk space.

[Mivio]

Hey guys.

I have a question about hard disk space.  I have a 71 gig hd, with about 7-8gig left.  But when I go to the "my computer" button, double click on the c drive, and read the tool tips, it only shows about 12 gigs as being used.

Any idea on how to check this, and yes, it seems I have alot of space used for the few programs i have installed.

Running windows xp, sp2
I did run ccleaner, and spyware doctor.  Did not seem to make a diffrence.

I have never seen a 71 gig drive, but make sure you are free of viruses and spyware first. Did you do your scans from safe mode with system restore off? Is the Recycle Buin empty? How much hard drive space does it seem you have used and unused? Do you have the option set to show hidden/system files?
