770350 2009-05-02 06:59:00 I wanted to transfer my old photos from my old desktop to my new laptop. I put a couple thousand pictures onto my flashdrive so that i could transfer my pictures to my laptop. When I tried to, I laptop crashed. It rebooted, and suddenly, I only have 25 of 250 GB left. What? I can't figure it out, and apparently neither could the dell technician I let take over my computer. Help?
By the way, I have vista on dell xps M1530

I saw some file named Memory dmp. that was a huge amount of gb, but when i deleted it, it suddenly shrunk in size and did nothing. I've done disk cleanup. HELP PLEASE. How do I get my hard drive space back? Thanks.
