I got an error on my 'puter today that said
my "pagefile.sys" was wrong and i need to go into
settings and change it. This was after scandisk chewed on
it for a while. I went in and looked at it, but the
setting was set higher than it said was required, so I
didn't change it. I had just installed "Pinnacle Studio
8", which is a DVD authoring program. I decided to go
into Norton and schedule a scandisk, and set it to
repair, then rebooted. I had only about 15Gig of stuff on
my 80 gig HD, but it said it had to "trunicate" the files
because it didn't have enough room to fix them. It
allowed XP to come up normally, but now my 80gig is
completely full! I used Norton to look at files on "C."
and I can see I have about 20-25 files. each over 500
meg, called something like "00084645.bmp" stored in
folder "c:\recycled\nprotect\", but when i go into
Windows Explorer, they folders aren't visible so I can
delete them.
Any ideas?
 
Here I am answering my own question. I deleted "Norton
Systemworks" from my system, and it took all the bad with
it.
