Missing some space!

Ok my boot disk currently has around 80gb I cant find. It says 114gb is used up but only about 40gb is. I tried chkdsk but nothing has come up, and I do suffer from occasioanl resets / freezes was wondering if it was orphaned files or something. Nothing.
Can someone recommend a good disk check program that might find where this space has gone?

doesnt that still show up under hidden files?
I have all hidden files shown and checked properties, or am I being stupid here

Yeah both are unhidden and cant access system volume info, but surely nothing should use up 80gb?

yah of a full disk maybe, but mine only has 80gb in use?

Yeah that definately did it. I used one of the above programs to look into that dir and it was def volume information using 80gb. Removed system restore freed up loads. added it back on again and its fine
