More disk space

My D:\ (Data Drive) has 18 Gigs says My computer in Properties. Select all
and Properties it says 9 Gigs. This is after a re-boot. Any ideas?

you have hidden system files like restore points and shadow copies..

vista eats drives like crazy..

you can of course clear all this data and retain the space..

I'll just remind you of the OP:

"My D:\ (Data Drive) has 18 Gigs says My computer in Properties. Select all
and Properties it says 9 Gigs. This is after a re-boot. Any ideas?"

....and you also install Vista on 20GB hard drives, apparently.
