I have a Compaq laptop with a 80 GB hard disc, of which C drive is 15 GB. The OS has been XP-Pro SP2, and generally, about 50% space (7 to 8 GB) in C drive used to remain free.
I have just installed SP3, and find free space at only 3 GB. In other words, 4 GB seems to have been lost to SP3 installation process. After installation of SP3, OS has been fully patched, vetted by Secunia.
I have also used CCleaner, but it cleaned few MBs.
The broad breakdown of the used space of 12 GB is as follows :-
a) Windows 6.6 GB
b) Program files 2.4 GB
c) Documents & Settings 1 GB : I don’t use MyDocuments, and this contains only my OE mails.
Any advice to reclaim lost space will be very appreciated.
Thanks,
