disappearing drive sapce

[evanbree]

I tired to a restore but had no memory left in the hard drive. I was able to delete many files and got 450mb back. Tried to do the restore, wanted to go back to when first bought computer. Would only show this month on the calender. While I was trying to work out what to donext the 450mb of free space disappeared. I have check c drive and there would be less than a gig being shown. I have 232 gig hard drive. Hidden files are not being hidden.
WHERE HAS all my hard space gone. I just want to give the computer to my son for games

maybe all your hidden space cannot be detected by xp because they may not be in ntfs or fat 32 file system so my opinion is to format and reinstall xp
