i hear ya on the XP thing. did the link i posted help? seems its all right there in windows. can move the file change size blah blah. can even just kill it off completely if you want.

I'm posting about the fantom Space on my HDDs, I check all 3 (1 HD partitoned into 3).
My first drive has now gone back to normal (roughly), my second is missing 7megs, and my last one 800 MEgs.
I know there is always a little sapce missing on a hard drive but 800 megs!!!

I deas??

Use Partition magic to recover your lost space, it works quite well for that, although can mess **** up sometimes doing other areas it "specialises" in heh... also be sure to scandisk and defrag the drive you're going to be resizing, you can really **** some **** up if you don't.
