My Win XP partition is 6.34gb but My Computer states that there is only 103mb left of free disk space when in fact there is only 2.34gb of stuff which should leave 4gb. Anybody know why thiis is? Could it be a virus? I have Norton 2003 running with all the updates.
MY COMPUTER I have three hard disk, all of them IBM (2 120bg, & 1 40gb) partitioned in to 10 drives with my page fie being on a seperate drive to XP.

My two pence/cents:
System restore can swallow a fair bit of your hard drive space if you've been using it. You could disable, reboot, then enable it again to clear the restore points. Should free up a fair bit of space... tho you will lose the restore points...
Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something, and if everybody does something, then everything will be done.

You might also want to empty the Recycle Bin.
