I'm running on XP, Pent. 2.53, and I also purchased a
120Gb Hard Drive from Western Digital. However, it showed
my C: Drive as a max capacity of 111Gb, but that isn't
the problem... I'm showing 46Gb free. I highlighted the
folders in my C: drived and it only shows that I'm using
up close to 20Gb. Where the heck did the other 50-
something go?? Any help appreciated.. JS

Hi John

As you've pointed out the 111Gb is not a problem.

To see more clearly your disk usage open 'My Computer'... right click on the
C: drive and click 'Properties'. In the general section you'll have all the
relevant info. Post back further details.

hope that helps
Pete
