I'm missing 14 GIGABYTES on my 55.8gb main drive... my second drive is fine, but rather than having 93gb space total, I have 79gb... I'm still got 38gb free total and I'm burning off 10gb in the next few days - BUT IT IS STILL ANNOYING to not know where the space is gone.

I think I have an idea now though. When I reinstalled XP into the C:\windows directory, it locked up my old username and created a new one with a .000 after it... the old username is still probably retaining about 14gb of files. however, when I click the folder's properties, it says 0kb but it's locked and I can't get into...ah well... my soon to be 40+ gb will be fine... though if anyone can help, PM me or post here.


Did you install xp over a old OS or did you delete xp and install from dos mode on start up
