Hi
i have 2 partition in which 2 OS are installed.
In c: i have win98 and in D: i have XP.
IN D: partition which sizes 5GB , there is total data of 2.8GB plus i have given 2% of the partition space to recycly bin and there is no restore point. But still it shows that there is only 800MB free space.
where the hell rest of free space gone!
plz help
 
Try turning off hybernation>

Disable Hibernation to Save Space

Unless you use it, you can disable hibernation in :
Control panel > Power Options > Hibernate
If left on, the hybernation reserves disk space equal to your RAM
 
Just a thought ..............
Are you using a programme such as "Go Back" etc to reserve back up space on the HD.?
Theresulting "Io" file needs to be un hidden in your drive to view.
 
OK
After turning hybernation off i've got some space but still 1 GB space is missing.
NO im not using any kind of that backup software.

NOw what guyz
 
How big is your page file? that may be whats eating all the space.
 
Turn system restore off if you don't use it.
Right click my computer/properties/system retore.
 
If it's ntfs, 12% of your drive is reserved space (for the MFT).
 
how can i find out my page file size and how can i fix it.i don't think that i have 1GB page size.

no im not using NTFS.its FAT32

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
