My computer which runs Windows XP Professional has a 23 Gig partition for
WinXP. I thought this would be adequate for years of use; but after only 6
months I am running out of disk space. The problem is that I can only account
for about 10Gig of files on the drive.
The other day I got a DVD burner and noticed that when I put files in the
"files to burn" window it would add up the size for the files; So, I tried
putting the entire WinXP partition in the this window and it confirmed that It
only had 10Gig. So where is the 10Gig accounting mistake? Hidden system files?
I am using a Soyo Dragon mother board with a 1.8GHz AMD processor that has a
RAID controller on it but the BIOS says it is disabled. And besides there are
two extra IDE connectors on the mother board to do the RAID, which I am not
using. I have never been asked about RAID in any part of the install, So I am
assuming that I don't have some sort of software RAID running.
I am not sure what else to add. Any Ideas?
