Just done a re formatt and my usage of the hardrive has gone from approx 9GB
to 15 GB which seems strange as I know lots of rubbish must have gone.,
anywhere I can get a list of whats on my hardrive or if there are
duplicates. Its not causimg me any problems in fact its working faster, but
would like to get unessary stuff taken off. I have looked at add/remove
programmes but thats not showing anything out the normal.

thanks
 
first off a "format" erases all info on the HD... so what exactly did you do
that makes you think you formatted the HD???
If you did a re-installation of XP you might now have 2
installations....open Windows Explorer and check all of your directories
explain the steps you took

OK I had major problems with PC couldnt get it to boot so tried repair /
safe mode and boot to last known good installation, I couldnt make progress
with any of them so decided to delete and re formatt hardrive, I did this
twice but on both ocassions it was unstable, I then got step by step to (not
now sure of all the detail) copy from cd something like.....
copy software system\config 32.... then similar lines with words like....
\sam
\security
\default
then exit

the system since doing this has been stable now for 3 days.
