| Out of HDD Space?? Hi guys I currently have 1 GB free on my C: drive I just uninsalled aload of suff used Add & Remove programs (this was 5gb worth) however it still says I have 1 Gb free. This used to hapen to me all the time on Win 98 but just ran scan disk and all was fine. Any way of doing the same on XP?? I have rebooted and run disk cleanup to no avail, thanks

| It's standard to leave 15% free space on your HDD. Folks see free space and want to load her up, but Win XP needs 15% of the partition/actual disk free to have breathing room. Hard drives aren't very expensive nowadays. Go Ultra SCSI 320. Kidding! IDE and SATA work just fine for SOHO use.

| Try a "chkdsk /?" in the command line  .I'd try "chkdsk c: /F /R" given that c: is the partition with problems. Also you can try a temporary file cleaner (I use the free CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/).
