my disappearing C:\ drive

[Guest]

I got home from work today and noticed low disk space at 120MB and was able
to watch it fall.. i used partition magic to resize the drive from 4 to 8GB
but it has since fallen again to 3k and will go to 0. i have avg antivirus
installed but this was unable to find anything. Any Ideas?

Cheers

When did you last run bootvis? Run it again and turn OFF tracing!

If you are saying that your drive keeps filling up, download and install
SequoiaView http://www.win.tue.nl/sequoiaview/ (free). This will give you a
graphical view of the folder sizes in Windows and will let you see what
file/folder is taking up so much space. If needed, you can delete your
Restore Points to free up more space (assuming you don't need those restore
points) and turn off hibernation which will also free up more space. You
can re-enable these items when finished trouble shooting.
