I have Windows XP Professional, a Pentium 4 processor, with 1GB of ram. I recently did a system restore and my available disk space went from 85% to 63% after the restore was complete. I have no idea why this happened after doing a simple system restore. I have not added any new programs, and any other time I have done a system restore this has never happened. Any ideas???? |

Thanks Hummer. That "TreeSize" utility told me what the problem was. Seems there was a movie I had forgotten all about that was left on my hard drive. But the TreeSize utility found it, I deleted the movie, and my disk space is back to normal. Thanks again. |
