ok, I have a problem with my D:\ drive..
yesterday I had about 200 mb left.. and then I tried to delete stuff to free up hard drive space.. but nothing changed... (its about 37,7 GB..) and then I was trying to defragment it.. but I had to little space left to do it.. and I scanned with norton to find viruses, but nothing showed up... and well now I have 60 mb left! and I have removed like kinda 3 gb at least but still it says that I have 60 mb left... any idea why??
my C:\ drive works fine... hmm.. can it be with something of the systems.. my C:\ drive is a FAT32 and my D:\ is NTFS.. I have xp...

That happened to me sometimes.
Rebooting the computer a few times solved that.
Also, make sure you hold down 'shift' when deleting. This will make sure files aren't sent to the recycle bin as this will not free up space.

also if you have norton anti virus, it sometimes quarentines files instead of moving and deleting them. just right click on you recycle bin and empty it, and there is also something else norton puts there. Its also probably a good idea to defrag your hdd. if you dont have enough space, try moving some of your porn onto another drive, or burn it onto cd or something (better yet, delete it, that sh*t will make you go blind!)
