[rbt2]

I have a 500GB unpartitioned hard drive dedicated Win 7. I just checked the properties of my C drive anad it reads:

80.7 GB used

1.3 GB free

82.1 drive capacity

Any ideas on whats's going on and how to fix this?

Can you post a picture of Disk Management.

Is this what you're looking for...if not tell me exactly what you are looking for and where I can find it. Thanks so much for your help.

No.

You posted the Device Manager. Have a look at Theog's post - that is Disk Management.

rbt2,

HOW TO POST A SNAPSHOT OF DISK MANAGEMENT DISPLAY

Run disk management:
WIN | type DISKMGMT.MSC | ENTER
WIN is the key with the wavy flag.

Maximize the output of Disk Management:
ALT-Spacebar key combo (this pops up a menu) followed by X key (selects Maximize) |
Drag the field separators (such as between Status and Capacity) to show entire field. This is very important, otherwise, needed info is not visible.

Make a snapshot:
WIN | type SNIPPING | ENTER | New
Drag the cursor around the area you want to snip.
File | Save as | select save location and name | Save

Post the snapshot:
· Click on the paperclip icon in that row of icons at the top of the message box.
· BROWSE button. There are 5 choices.
· Navigate to the folder containing the snapshot.
· Click on the snapshot.
· OPEN
· UPLOAD button which is adjacent to the 5th BROWSE button.
· Close the MANAGE ATTACHMENTS window.
· Position the cursor at the spot in the message where you want the
snapshot to appear.
· Click on the PaperClip again.
· Click on the file which you want to insert
· Attach code will be inserted into your message.

Thank you all for your assistance. The problem I had w/disk capacity at least all day yesterday as well as probably longer (but just wasn't aware of it) resolved itself. That's the good news. The bad news is I don't know what would have happened last night to fix the issue.

At least I learned how to pull up diskmanagment. That's a good thing as well.

Anyway thanks again for your help and here is my scrnshot of diskmanagment.

BTW, I'm running win7 pro on a dual boot mac.

Your C shos full capacity. So I guess your problem is fixed. Who knows what had happened earlier.
