Hard drive full??
Hi
My PC is telling me my 80gb hard drive is full, I have bought a 250 gb standalone hard drive and transfered all my music and oics etc to it, but my hard drive is still apparently full
I have tried defragging and this has no affect, whats the next step??
There is definitlely not 80 gb of stuff on the hard drive nore like 8gb if anything, whats the score...?
Cheers Paul

when you copied the music etc to the external did you move or copy them ? Is possible its all still on there !
Run a disk check on the drive and let it repair anything it finds, then it should let you degrag !
Also check how big disk manager reports youir c drive ! Its possible its not 80gb even though the drive is, and may be spliut into a series of smaller drives ! Do you have D and E drives also ?

It's a great site I've used it quite a lot for different things.
You can see what the free wear is plus you can see the stuff that's HOT which means laods of people have downloaded it.
