Program to show what is taking up space on hard drive?

[Draeger]

I did a fresh install of Vista Ultimate last night on a 36Gb Raptor.

All I have installed on C: is Windows and my drivers. Thats it, nothing else.

Everything else, programs, games etc is on my F: drive, my "Apps" drive which is a 250Gb Maxtor. I have another E: drive which is a 160Gb Maxtor that I use to archive and back things up.

But my C: drive is showing only 9Gb free out of the 36Gb Raptor's space.

Does that sound about right for a fresh install of Vista Ultimate?.

Wondering if there is a program out there I can download and run which will show exactly what is taking up space on a hard drive?.

I manually set three restore points after the fresh install. Would each one take up its own space or does System Restore just take up the 15% you mentioned no matter how many restore points you set?.

40Gb minimum?.

Hmm. Time to bin the 36Gb Raptor then methinks!!

Did a disk cleanup and it was showing around 6Gb of error report log things!!!???

Got rid of them and freed up a fair bit of extra disk space.

Its showing :-

Used Shadow Copy Storage Space : 4.686 Gb
Allocated Shadow Copy Storage Space : 4.97 Gb
Maximum Shadow Copy Storage Space : 5.71 Gb

Thanks for the tip, didn't know that cmd.

I'm thinking of going for a new Raptor but a larger capacity one unless you can suggest a comparable and quick drive to use as an OS only drive?.

Cheers, will take a look in the OcUK for the Samsungs.

Thanks for the heads up.
