Lost GIGS please help.

Hi All,

I have a windows 7 Samsung NC110 with 240gig HD and 1 gig of RAM.

I have noticed that my D: is showing that i only have 10.7 gig free of
117GIG. I have checked through the drive and I do not have anything like 106
gig installed on that partition. On my c: i have 46.1 ree of 100GIG.

Please can someone offer me an explanation of to how this has happened?

Regards.

Right click each folder and subfolder and click properties. Window will show
you the total size of that folder and all it's subfolders. Go through all
folders in the tree from the top until you find where the space is being
used.

Download and run WindDirStat to get a nice graphical display of the size of
all your files and directories. It might help you spot anything unusual...

On a large mess such as my computer it takes several minutes to generate
its map.
