Discrepancy hard disk occupied space versus files volume?

[Dirk Lenart]

Hi

Under windows XP my total number of files on my C drive is 4.82 GB.
When I look at My Computer the C drive is listed for 12.098 GB of used
space.

Probably system restore, try disabling it.
If your running FAT32, run chkdsk

Hi,

System Restore usually is less than 1 G.
Go to disk management and see the used space and free
space.

I ran chkdsk. Afterwards still the same results.

Could you expand on this one 'disk management'?

Tnx

Found the problem. It was the system restore option. If I deleted all
system restore files except the last one, +6 GB came free. Wow!

Tnx for trying to help!
