nope didn't think it would actually do anything. I'll do that I guess. Not sure if it'll actually work even if it does detect errors but I'll give it a go.

yeah run chkdisk, i think if u have tweakui or xteq theres an option to make the os run chkdisk on next boot...
it sound more like the drive is misreporting free space, this is usually fixed by scandisk/chkdiskComment

chkdsk didn't fix anything although I will try scandisk.Comment

If standard chkdsk doesn't work, perhaps try chkdsk /r, it seems to fix some things that chkdsk usually cannot. (IE 0x000000E stop errors etc)SileNceR, Messenger of the Dark and the Night.

In DOS:
Format c: /q
That'll free up allllll the space you need :D
Seriously though, that's pretty jacked up. Maybe you could do a system search and specify all files larger than, say 500MB. If there's a single file that big it'll point to its location. I've had instances where MS decided it needed to stick a 1.5GB junk file in 'C:\wherever' that it didnt feel like telling me about.Chris "Raven"

Have you tried Eraser? It will permanently erase all free space on your drive. It takes a while if you do your whole HD, I usually do mine about once a quarter or so. Maybe it will help............still a cool Free app though!
