Pin [SOLVED] Near half my hardrive is unknown.

Hello i am running vista on a LENOVO 0768E7U 3000 N100
I noticed that my hard drive was filled up for no apparent reason. I downloaded and ran WinDirStat and found a 45 gig "<Unknown>" in my drive. I have tried defraging, limiting the shadow storage, turning off system restore points, scanning with fulling updated spybot s&d and avira, and it is still there... almost mocking me. So I am asking nay pleading for ideas on how to fix this.

some specs to help
