Having a problem with the free space on Drive C being misrepresented. I
know before this problem happened I had at least 12-13GB of free space
on the drive. Now My Computer is showing 4.8GB of free space. Funny
thing is, using DiskPie, it shows the correct amount of used/free space.
DiskPie shows 7.10GB used, roughly 12GB free. Any idea what the problem
could be? I even showed hidden files/folders and nothing stands out as
taking a ton of space on this partition. Stuff I download goes to a
different partition on the hard drive(D:). By the way I am using Windows
XP Pro, 120GB Seagate Hard Drive, 20GB in C:, 100GB in D:.


Thanks,
Oscar
