HMM....
DISK CLEANUP

also look and see where all this 18gigs of stuff is... I got a 120 gig HD and only 15 gig full 18 is alot of crap, there is a virus that copies files too... just so you know... it's popular on plazes like kazaa and imesh

i had a 120 gigger, noticed windows was taking up like 20 gigs. i then noticed i had stuff saved to desktop from previous installations. (XP makes a folder for all users)

sooo thats where my issue was

Check your temp folder.

My roomy ran out of HDD and found 4 gigs of space in his temp folder. Each time his computer crashed during a cd burn, it was dumped in the temp folder.

Run the disk cleanup utility.

Good luck!

disk cleanup has been running automatically lately with little help. the only thing it shows that is taking up space is programs which i KNOW arent taking up 20 gigs! WTF

sounds like virus to me....had a similar machine in office....had 80gb hdd with littl more than windows 2000 installed on it. it did the same thing. turns out...virus

Run a search for files that are really big. That happened to me once. It turned out that my sister was using some program and saved a couple files that took up almost a gig each.

Have you even looked at the drive to see what is taking up space? That's how you fix it. Take a look at the disk used by different folders and look for something that's not normal.
