Out of Space message for C drive

[Gupta]

I keep getting out of space message.

When I remove files or software from the drive, it shows
availble space. However, as soon as I reboot, all space
vanishes. I wonder if this is due to a virus?

Help Please.

[Gerry Cornell]

How large is your hard disk and how much free space? In Windows Explorer =
right click on your C drive and select Properties. Is your hard disk =
partitioned? What other hard drives do you have, if any? How much RAM =
memory?=20

Hope this helps.

Gerry,

Thanks for your response.

C drive total is 1.99 GB, all used up.

My Hard Drive is partitioned, into C and D.

D drive is 7.3 GB, with 4.8 being used.

No other hard drives.

RAM is 256 MB

Satish

Before doing anything else you need to create some working space.

1. Remove Temporary Internet Files by selecting Start, Settings, Control =
Panel, Internet Options, General tab, Delete Files and check box for =
"Delete all offline content".

2. Empty Recycle Bin.

3. If you are using Outlook Express empty your Deleted Items folder run =
File, Folder, Compact All whilst OFFLINE.

You next need to locate where certain files are located. To do this you =
may need to enable "Show Hidden and System files". Whilst there select =
enable show file extensions.
How to View System and Hidden Files in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=3Dkb;en-us;141276

Next enter Windows Explorer. Using Tools, Find, Files and Folders search =
My Computer with "win386.swp" without quotes as the search criteria and =
see whether it is located on your c partition or d partition. Also note =
how large is the file? If it is located in the C partition it needs more =
room to expand and contract. Without this space you will get warning =
messages and freezes. Given the single drive it would not be sensible to =
move the file to the d partition so you need to look for other files to =
move to the d partition.

Are any data files located in your C partition? What programmes are you =
using? Are you using Outlook Express?

Gerry,

I did everything you suggested.

Here is a response to the questions you raised.

My win386.swp is in partition D and the size is 122MB.

How do I find out if there are any data files in C?

I do not use Outlook Express and have very few programs in
C. Virtually all of the software is in D. C has only
Compaq, DVD, Seagate, and Palm folders.

My problem is a bit unusual in the sense that even when I
make space available in C, something wipes it out as soon
as I reboot. I have created multi-MB space in C before
rebooting. With the reboot, it vanishes! Can you think
of a process in booting up that wipes out huge amounts of
space?

Thanks

Satish

If you consistently have a swap file of 122 mb then you should consider =
adding extra memory. What memory do you presently have?

I imagine your Compaq folder is your Windows 98 folder. On which =
partition is your My Documents folder? The default folder for data files =
is My Documents.

What is in your DVD, Seagate and Palm folders? Are they of any size? =
Windows 98 needs 1.5 to 2 gb so that would not leave much room for much =
else in your C partition.

How are you using your DVD? What programme are you using? Are you =
backing up copies to hard disk? If yes where are they being placed?

Gerry,

It seems like my problem was a result of virusus. I used
an antivirus software to remove nCase, Gator, and skynet
viruses. That took care of the problem. Thanks for your
help!

Steve,

My problem was that I had 2 or three viruses. As soon as
I cleaned that up, my PC started to work fine.

Thanks for your help!
