Due to instability problems I re-installed XP, but, as there was some
urgency I didn't do a clean install. I intended to do the job properly the
following weekend and re-format the system partition. As the PC was
completely stable, and still is after two months, I never did the re-format
and just let it run.
A week ago I received a warning message about low disk space on the system
drive and on checking found that there was approximately 4GBytes missing on
the 10GByte partition. I've been unable to find what is taking up all that
space despite going through the drive with a fine toothcomb.
The only thing that I've found which is suspicious is a folder in docs and
Setting which has the name of my old pre-reinstall account. This folder
shows zero content and is not accessible, even in Safe Mode. I even tried
to access it using Bart's PE but no joy. Is it possible that this folder is
taking up all that space?
System = XP Pro SP2 fully updated. AMD Duron 900MHz CPU 512Mbytes RAM
Can anyone advise please?
