    Problem with space


    Hi Friends,

    I am facing weird issue. Thought some great minds can help me out here.
    I am using 350 GB hard disk. C: is 100 which I am fine with.
    D:\ is 250 GB. (Though it is showing as 229 GB). I have used 74 GB of space in it. But "My computer" is showing as 7.8 GB free. I am unable to find what happened to another 160 GB. I did not find a way to identify which program/file is using this space?

    can someone help me out here? Please give me a shout if you have any questions.

    You could install TreeSize Free - Quickly Scan Directory Sizes and Find Space Hogs and see what it shows you about the drive.
