HDD/Software problem

Blind_Io · March 13th, 2008, 12:42 PM

So here's my problem:

Periodically my computer will pop an error in any one of a number of programs to tell me that I'm out of disc space on C:\. I pull up MyComputer > C: > Properties and it shows as totally full. The disk isn't fragmented and it's actually only about 25%-30% full.

I shut down and restart and the disc shows it's actual usage.

Any ideas?

You could try to use programs like Sequoiaview at moments like that to check what is eating up your diskspace. My guess would be some kind of temp file that gets erased at reboot.

Thanks, that's a rather spiffy tool. I'll run it next time I pop that error.

(and thanks for fixing my typo)
