Re: Hardrive error?

The 13GB+ in the \users folder is very high - unless you have movies, pix, music, etc...

VSS reset gave you ~34gb - actually just right space used for VSS. You can expect it to use ~15% of your HDD space -
232GB x 15% = 34.8GB - so right on target. That will return now that VSS back on.

If you want to see detailed listing of every file in the \users folder and space used -
START | type cmd.exe | RIGHT-CLICK ON CMD.EXE | RUN AS ADMIN - CMD/DOS screen appears - paste command (to paste, right-click on top of DOS screen, select edit, select paste) - may have to hit enter

Code:
dir c:\users /a /s > %temp%\0.txt & start notepad %temp%\0.txt
It will appear to hang - it is not. Give it ~30 seconds minimum. Notepad will open w/ results.
