Restored Comp and Can't Find Files, Help!
    #8887570 - 09/06/08 04:55 PM (15 years, 8 months ago)

So here's the thing, I had to reboot my comp using the system recovery CDs. Before I did that, I backed up about 30 gigs of data onto DVD-Rs. But I didnt delete the 30 gigs of data, I figured it would be deleted when i reinstalled XP.

Then I did the reinstall and it worked perfectly..but...

So now, I guess the computer never deleted my original 30 gigs of data because I did the math and I should have about 30 gigs more of free memory. After the reboot, It says that I only have about 10 gigs of free space which is ridiculous. I should have closer to 40 gigs, But I cant find where my original 30 gigs of data is stored. I shouldve just deleted it all before the reinstall of XP.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem??

Go to start, run, type in diskmgmt.msc and have a look there, perhaps your 30gb has been shifted into a different partition.

thanks for the reply, tried that but still couldnt find the files.

thing is, when i open the C drive and click to explore it, a folder comes up with multiple folders (like "Program Files" and "Windows"). So i highlight ALL the folders and files and right click properties just to see how much space they all are. and they only come up to be about 20 gigs. so if I have 70 gigs total of memory, and the C drive only says it has 20 gigs written on it, i should have 50 gigs free space. but it doesnt. theres still that 30 gigs of data somewhere jammed in my comp that i cant find.

Do you really have 70gb total? Check to see if any has been lost. Also, do you have show-hidden-files turned on? Perhaps you have a lot of big files in c:\
