55022	2002-06-18 10:09:00	i have a computer running windows xp and a 40gig hard drive. when i go into 'my computer' it says that 35 gig of my hard drive is full but when i enter the drive it only has a total 6.5gig of files and programs on it and i can't locate any other hidden files etc. what could be taking up the 28gig of unaccounted for space? please help me out...cheers	Guest (0)

Also try starting in 'Safe Mode' and running Scandisk. That will pick up any 'lost' disk space. 28GB would be a lot on that category too, but possible.	Guest (0)

If so have a look under the System Volume Information directory on each disk?' But 28Gb seems an awful lot for sysrestore... Cheers, Babe.	Guest (0)
