Other Tips from readers and friends,
1) Disk Defragmenting can take anyware from 5 minutes to a day to compleate so make sure to do this when you do not need your computer for that time, it is good to have another computer or a social life at this point.

[basiccomputerhelp]

I use to agree but vista is getting better, problem is a lot of business software now is only for vista. the first OS is XP and the second is Vista. I had to turn off my Visual stuff because my computer was old and with Camtasia it was taking a few hours to load the start menu.

could have been something with the FileSystem not reporting the size of space right.

Because Modern Hard Drives are so big they story the free space and other little info in a Journal (on NTFS), sometimes that Journal can get the Wrong Information. the Defragmentation could have fixed it. thing is this problem is Rare. only happens if your computer had a crash or sudden shutoff.
