Having problems after instalaltion of XP home/Servicepack 2

[John Carr]

Before automatic updates installed SP2 on my machine I had about 6 GB of HD
space. After installation was complete I had about 200 MB< Yes I went from 6
GB to 200 MB of HD space, When I became awrare of this I immediately
installed an additional HD in my machine and moved what I could to the new
one. After I had done this I was back up to about 1.5 Gig but the machine
was very slow and is. Also I am having problems with my machine freezing up.
or running very slow. I have a P4 2,8 with 512 of ram. My machine has been
used maderatly to heavy since the initial install about 1 1/2 years ago. I
have tried everything I can think of but am getting nowhere. I just checked
and I have 500 meg of a 20 gig HD remaing free. Where did it go.. HAHA
Thanks John
