i have 3 drives ,
1. 4 gig left
2. 3.4 gig left
3. 1.2 gig left

when i trying to extract a rar file , it stops and says disk full
even when i free up more space and then try and extract the rar file , it says disk is full , what is the problem?

Free space needed to extract depends on the size of the .rar file. How large is the one your trying to extract?

200mb
it goes to about 8% then says disk full

Is the system drive the one with the least space?

This may be a stupid question, but what is the uncompressed filesize of the archive?

Page file

your probably going into that

having so little free space really hurts performance

either delete things you don't need, or get more space

-disable system restore, that'll clean a lot up

also, run ccleaner
