'Ello,

When I got to the properties window of my hard drive
there is no option to do a disk cleanup under the tools
tab. When I try it though the start menu it does
nothing, I left it for two hours and it was still on two
bars and the hard drive light never came on.

Any one know how to enable this? I do have Windows XP
Home edition if thats any help.
