Disk space

I look at my disk space and I see there is 0 free disk space. I do this by clicking on My Computer.

I have a 160 Gig hard drive. I counted 603.30 MB of "stuff" loaded on this drive.

I what I am asking is the MB's more than my 160 gig hard drive can handle?

I Yahoo pop up blocker doesn't seem to be working and the games I play are slow.

There is nothing on the list that I want to remove. I thought by having a larger hard drive I wouldn't be out of free disk space this soon...I got this in October.

Can anyone help me? Please

 

If you reboot the computer and then immediatly check how much free space you have, has it changed?

 

No, rebooting does not change anything.

It still shows used space in blue and free space in purple. The pie showing the sections is all blue. 0 bytes on used space and 0 bytes on free space. Have I understood the meaning of the total blue pie?

 

You sure you're checking the correct drive? ( C: ) Because this is what you normally get when checking an empty cd...

If the numbers were true your o/s wouldn't run at all so it's either somme comm problem between your drive and mobo or else some software bug.

Post what o/s you're running and also what specs the rest of the computer is.

 

Thanks for your help.

I'm running XP Home
AMD 2500+
1.83 GHz
480 MB of Ram

 

I need more, post your motherboard and harddrive spec (make and model). If you don't know what it is download this software http://download.guru3d.com/sandra/
It's called SiSoft Sandra and it will give you detailed specs on all of your system.

You didn't answer my question:

"You sure you're checking the correct drive? ( C: ) Because this is what you normally get when checking an empty cd..."

 

After reading your help post again, I went back to My Computer and yes, I have experienced a brain cramp, I was looking at the CD RW drive...I have looked and the CORRECT drive and I have plenty of disk space! Please forgive my ignorance. I surely appreciate your help.

Still I'm perplexed and to why I am having pop ups and games are running slow. I have read, from this site, what to do about adaware, spyware, malware, trojans, etc. and I clear out what Spybot and Adaware locate and some of the ones that I've downloaded from this site says I'm clean of threats. Norton has blocked or removed trojans before. I see that I am not using a better anti-virus software and I am looking for AVG. (I think I remember the name correctly)

 

It sounded suspect don't worry it happens us all from time to time.

It's very possible thats whats lagging your computer down. If you've don all this and your computer still is slow;

Also consider a reinstall of your XP Home. If you can afford to lose everything on the drive or if you can back everything up then you should seriously consider formatting / reinstall. XP sucks up all kinds of s**t so a reinstall about once or twice a year is the best way to keep your computer clean and fast. shout if you want to know more about that.

I recommend AVP for antivirus, found here.

 

Thank you greatly!
