Hi CK


A few questions:
1) Does this system dual-boot with any other operating systems?
2) What tool was used to create the partitions? Is a partitioning program installed (such as Partition Magic)?
3) Was a "drive-overlay" program needed to help an older motherboard work with the large hard drive? (such as "EZ-Bios", "Disk Manager", etc.).
4) If you boot into Safe Mode (tap the F8 key while the computer is starting up), do the partition sizes report normally?
5) How full is the problematic partition? If you are only able to free a small amount of space each time, could logs and temporary files be filling that space up again?
6) Have you scanned for malware yet? (Some malware, especially the trojan-horse attacks, can store data on your PC ... often to be sent as spam, as part of a "botnet").


Take a look in Safe Mode, and try a scan or two - and see if anything turns up.

Best of luck
. . . Gary
