Thanks again Chief. Yes, I unhid all the system files. Then I found a good article at http://superuser.com/questions/88131/ titled "How to shrink Windows 7 boot partition with unmovable files." I followed this, then finally, Windows wouldn't start. I used a linux CD to run live Ubuntu, then...

Thanks Chief, however, there must be another file causing this. I turned off hibernation, and saw that the file hiberfil.sys has now gone, but the Win7 partition manager still won't let me reduce the C: partition below 470 GB. How do I find out which file is causing my problem ? Do I need...

Thanks guys. Yes, slip of the finger. 100 GB for the OS partitions. Disk Management won't allow me to reduce the C: partition to anything below 470 GB, What's the reason for this ?

I have posted this here, because I believe that this is a hardware problem, either motherboard, or hard disk. My desktop PC often (once a day ?, but it varies), Win XP, crashes, and reboots. Sometimes after reboot, Win XP tells me that Drive C needs checking, and sometimes my drive F has...

I am getting audible clicks from my speakers when playing an audio CD. These clicks are synchronised with the LED on the front of the CD drive, ie., LED flashes, and I hear a click. Happens on all CDs I have tried. When the same file is played off the hard drive, no clicks. What could be...
