<div class="IPBDescription">But it says i have 3.5 gigs left...</div>I've checked for viruses and all that jazz, no clue whats going on. I'm pretty knowledgable with computers too and this has me stumped. Its on an 80 gig drive split between C and D drives. 10 gigs for the C and the rest goes to the D. And 3.5 gigs are supposedly opened so I have no clue. I havn't tried to defrag it, but I don't see how it could cause that. Anyone have any idea?

    i would suggesting downloading Partition Magic to see if there is a undefined part

    Definitely want to run fdisk and look for any unpartitioned/unformatted space... if you haven't already.

    Aye its all formated. I used partition magic to partition the drives in the first place. Like I said it's got me stumped.

    Try running scandisk. (Yes, it sucks). Sometimes windows is incorrectly reading the HDD. Mine once said I had 2 gigs free, after running scandisk, fixed it up and I really had 5 megs free <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->
