Lost Space On Hard Drive But Why?

by tobyo23 Jan 20, 2008 1:48AM PST

I rcently got a new computer for christmas and with it I have a 250GB Hard Drive (233GB to be exact) and after installing all my programs, games, documents etc. I was left with around 150GB of space remaining. Then yesterday I left my pc for an hour or so came back and there was a bubble from the tollbar saying very low amount of space left on the c drive. Turns out I had 0 space remaining?! Now whenever I check it varies, so far from 2gb to 6gb but where has that 150gb of space gone?

My story.

My pager stopped working. I waited in line at the counter and explained it didn't work anymore. The nice person on the counter opened it up, flipped the battery over and handed me my fixed pager.

"It happens."
