Hi

I am having similar problem to the link above.

Server 2003 R2 standard Edition has two separate hdd. Primary one is C (OS) and other is D for data.

C is 80 GB and it shows "free space left" 100 MB !!!!!

However, all of the files on C:\ add up only to 10 GB

What troubleshoot should I consider to find out why this happens

Thanks

How are you checking?

The link you reference says that it was because of a virus. Have you run a virus scanner?

 

[zillah]

How are you checking?

Right click then properties then find size of a file or a folder

That doesn't show sizes for folders for which you have no permission to view.

Then how can I find out the actual size for a folder ?

Run that program as administrator. You'll easily be able to tell what's taking up space.
