attn: Rich Barry RE:2 GB on a 20GB HardDrive ...

[Stan]

Rich,

Thanks for the tip on this problem. You suggested removing
Speed Disk and see what WinXP would report. (Original
messages below)
Didn't work, however.

I thought, okay, I'll compress the drive and see if I save
any additional space. What I see during the compression
are hundreds of files that I cannot see thru explorer. The
files are randomly numbered, all with the same extension.
Example: 0000001.binaries

I want to uninstall or move everything that's on that hard
drive, but I'm afraid I might take the problem to another
drive.

If you'd prefer I not use email in the future, let me
know. Thanks for your time

Stan

Stan, try removing Speed Disk and see what WinXP says
when you rt click
on the Drive Icon>select Properties.

I have a second harddrive, a 40GB WesternDigital, that I
have partitioned into 2 20GB Drives. The first partition
shows 2GB free space, yet selecting properties on all
shown, hidden & system files states that only 2GB are
actually used. Glancing at the disc map through Norton
SystemWorks SpeedDisk, I see that yes, there is about 17-
18GB of the drive being used.

Kinda confused here. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks.

Stan, try xxcopy to move the whatever you have on that drive. The
freeware version has many features.
