I am using XP Home SP2. Everytime I power on I lose 1gb of hard drive space.
For example I have a 60gb harddrive on my laptop and am actually using about
20gb, however, if I power off and reboot and then go to Windows Explorer and
go to C drive and check properties it will list my C drive at 21gb in use.
If I reboot again and go to Windows Explorer and check C Drive and check
properties it will say 22gb in use. I am now at the point that it says I am
using 42gb of hard drice (C drive) even tho I am only using 20gb in
actuality.
I have run chkdsk and it says everything OK. Anyone have any ideas. I can
only think that some program I installed or some unexpected power
interuption has somehow screwed up my system. I run Norton and have no
virues, also run ad-aware, spybot and spyware blaster. Everything checks out
OK. Also run registry mechanic.
