help missing hard disk space

kidkhaos · 23 Oct 2006 at 12:03

I had on my hard disk around 6gb free then on night when i was asleep the pc overheated and reset, i logged in to find i only had 650mb free. I then deleted somemore stuff to get 3gb free, i then reset my pc and it said i had 0.99gb free :confused:

.

I tried the usually windows clean up, system restore but nothing. One thing i did notice is whenevery i use a defraging proggy there 7% of my disk thats very fragmented and all defragment proggys skip that part.

Anyone know of a really good hard disk analyzer program that can sort out any hard disk errors ive got, or any ither solutions?

To prevent more errors occuring on the HDD - Redcuce your clocks or increase your cooling.
PC shutting off whilst writing to HDD isn't good.

I know O&O Defrag is a good defragmenter...
If you have errors with your current file system though, it may be better to copy accross all the data you want to kep to another drive/partition and re-install Windows.

Start -> Run -> CMD
Then run:
chkdsk c: /f

And reboot.
That will check your drive for errors.
If re-installing windows, don't go for the Quick-Format but go for the full format.

Don't you ever turn your pc off at all?
Do you always leave it on?

My PC is never off.
It's always on...
It always has a job to do.
