17. June 2004, 23:16:31 Subject: Todays Problem ?  I have just installed another hard drive on my PC. It was an old 20.0 GB one i had. I did fdisk and formated etc... all fine.
Started pc up in Windows as normal, went into My Computer, right click, properties on the new disk and a lovely empty, totaly free one there (all pink lol). After a while i have just been and looked again at it, and now have a small blue line and its saying 32.0 KM used. Thats the problem, how do i find out what is putting things on there. If i look on the disk it is empty apart from 1 Hidden file ??. I used to have a 2nd disk in there last year for storing Music etc... on, so there could be something set to direct data to it on my system already. Problem: Where is this Data and why can't i see it ? AND also how can i track down what is putting it on there ? 17. June 2004, 23:30:33 Subject: Re: Todays Problem ? Is the hidden file the "Recycle Bin"? The hidden file is probably whats taking space. 17. June 2004, 23:45:05 Subject: Re: Todays Problem ? I think...
when windows access a drive (that does not have Windows on it)it creates a "Recycle Bin" automatically. You can change your folder options to show hidden files. 17.

Let me go and look and change the folder options. |
