    Disk displays on clicking computer


    After opening Explorer, then click on Computer, it shows the stats of various disks in the system with a horizontal bar for each disk, I hope I'd describe this properly.

    Some of the disks has Red Bars, some Blue Bars, why the different colours? Does RED indicates something is wrong for that particular hard disk?

    Any pointers would be highly appreciated.

    cheers

    Red usually means there is almost no more space left. Could you post a screenshot of it?

    Yep, the disc is getting near full, time to start deleting any garbage, or begin moving it off that particular partition.

    Thanks. Yes, the disk have less then 10% left, one that has more than 10% shows blue.

    May be that's what it was.
