Hey all,
I've been trying to get more space on my HD. It's only 20GB with 3
partitions.The first partition(C:) is Win98SE is 5.8GB,2nd is D:4.4GB and
third is Windows 2000 pro with 8.75 gb.
I've been paring down all non essentials on the W2k partition like old
drivers,patches,utilities etc but I'm still left with 5gb used.I even moved
the page file to the C: partition. I don't think W2k Pro is that large. So
where's it gone?

Get something like Sequoia View, which will give you a graphical
representation of your hard disk, you will then be able to see at a glance
which files/directories are using up the space.

Cool visual approach. I found several redundant postscript files
taking up space...thanks for the tip!

Wow!!Found 2gb of avi files in my fraps directory. I had no idea it was
recording some of my game playing. Must have hit the wrong button a few
times while checking framerates.Found a bunch of stuff in Norton AV
quarintine directory too. Not sure what to do about that. Thanks MJP!!

TreeSize is much easier to use

I must admit that I do not find Sequoiaview particularly taxing to use and
prefer the interface to treesize, they are both such small programs it may
be worth the OP trying both and seeing which they prefer.

Haven't tried Sequoiaview. I use a freeware; Folder Size Shell Extension.
It puts an extra property page, or tab under the right click Properties
window that shows a tree of which every folder you clicked with configurable
sizes of each folder. Mighty handy.
