Hi all,
Just a bit of a problem im having with hd space on my C drive.
Now this drive is originally 6gb in size and i have just done a format and have installed Windows Professional XP.
So once that is all out of the way and complete you are left with pretty much 4.5gb-5gb roughly plus i had done a backup and had done the restore backup proceeder through start>programs>accessories>system tools>backup.
Anyway onto my problem what happens is my hd space seems to dramatically reduce in size till im left with nothing in space remaining, and i have no idea why, it was quite frightening to go into my computer and find i had 32kb left on my C drive.
Now I did your:
WinXP Tweaking: From Reformat to Relax
Tweaking Windows XP - Part 1
Tweaking Windows XP - Part 2
System Optimization Guide for Gamers
And followed them all word for word to your instructions which are great guides/tweaks by the way :)
But I have struck this problem and im not sure why, now is it because i have done something wrong somewhere in your guide which im sure i havent cause i did everything as you said.
Also the other problem im having is with when i goto my C drive properties and goto tools then error checking and select the box : automatically fix file system errors, it saids it will startup next reboot, so i do a reboot and it does some drive checking which seems like some 3 step process then prompts to say it will restart my computer, which never happens as it just sits there, now how long should i wait 5 mins? 10 mins?
I was quite impatient and just pressed the restart button and it rebooted back into windows fine, but i went to check the C drive properties again and see if it was ticked and it had become unticked again. So i repeated the steps again and it happened once more, so im not sure what to do if you guys can help me and offer any assistance to these 2 problems im having it be muchly appreciated cheers.
My system spec's are as follows:
1.6ghz AMD Athlon T-Bird
ASUS A7M266 Motherboard
512 DDR RAM
1x 6gb Seagate HD
1x 40gb Seagate HD
1x 80gb Seagate HD
Geforce 2 GTS 64mb
Operating system is Windows XP Professional with service pack 1 installed.
