Hard disk completely full
Hello all,
I have the next problem with my hard disk on my hp laptop. There are 0 bytes left on my hard disk. the problem is that two days ago there were at least 20 GB left, but since that moment the hard disk has been filled alone! I mean, If a check all the folders in C: for the size they are using, they use no more than 30 GB so, where are the rest of the 60 GB my hard drive has? I have checked for hidden files and I've tried deleting log and tmp files. Also, I have disabled the hibernation property but the problem still remains... Please, Coud anyone help me?? Thank you very much in advance! Carlos

Thank you very much in advance! Carlos Carlos, try running chkdsk. Run cmd.exe elevated, and type in "chkdsk /f" without the quotes and press enter. You will probably have to set it to run on next boot when prompted. Sometimes when files are deleted an incorrect size is shown on the amount of free space you really have on a drive, and this will correct it if that is indeed the case. Captain Roberts

Try running a disk usage program such as
ShowMan http://www.david-taylor.myby.co.uk/software/disk.html#ShowMan or SC-DiskInfo Standard Edition http://www.bestvistadownloads.com/software/k-disk-usage-t-free-sc-diskinfo-standard-edition-download-ajysiyjm.html.

One possibility is caused by restore points. The can consume a lot of disk
and the space they consume does not show up as part of your C: drive. "andy" wrote in message ...
