588889 2007-09-08 00:00:00 Malo how big is your hard drive? (In total?), Do you have two partitions?

What about e-mail do you have any E-mails on your hard drive? Do you use Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook?

Do you keep your “My Documents” & music/ DVD's on your “C” drive?

Have you cleared out your Temporary Internet Files & your Temp folder?

Have you emptied your Recycle Bin? (Before you do that, just check & make sure there is northing in there that was deleted by error.)

588890 2007-09-08 00:11:00 Ummmmmm lets see . . . . . . get a bigger hard drive!!!!!

I'm actually quite surprised no-one suggest a new hard drive .

Have you every thought that malo may have a big hard drive? Like a 120 GB HDD etc…, which is full of Windows & other programs crap that they install

Also have you thought that malo may not be able to afford a new hard drive?

Or that ever time malo runs out of disk space that malo goes out & buy a new one?

What malo needs to do is find out where all his/her disk space has gone like it could have all gone to his/her My Documents or where every he/she keeps there music etc… & burn/ backup it up to DVD/ CD .

Ah 1/2 true, but it was stopped (by Sun), which is why SP1a came out.

And its not in SP2, if you've slipstreamed SP2 on CD.

588892 2007-09-08 01:04:00 One way to get instant space is to reduce the system restore folder size, usually it reserves 12% of your hard drive for restore points.


Right click on "My Computer"
Properties / System Restore Tab
Move the Slider from "Max to Min" - Click Apply/OK


On My PC it reduces the space from 9157Mb down to 200Mb. Still allows for restore points, just not as many.
