HDD suffers daily space decrease
Since I bought this new laptop (toshiba Satellite a215-s7437) I've noticed that every day I check the available space of the hard disk it just keeps getting smaller. I formated the disk about a week ago and obviously it helped, but the problem is starting to reapear... Eg, yesterday it said I had about 147gb, today it has 145gb.... I didn't download nothing, what's worse, i've been deleting stuff to make more room... By the way, its a 200GB HDD, SQ004513V03. Any ideas??? -- msrb

It will dynamically change as the available space found. If you claim the space when you add files, it should give it back to you. You can set it manually if you want to see if that's it. Control Panel System Advanced Change then set what you want, but Don't worry about it if you are not having a performance problem. Let Vista manage this unless you know what you are doing. -- BobF.

Also the system will use space as it builds its index files and sets restore
points. "Bob F." wrote in message ... "msrb" wrote in message ...
