Hi all, Thanks to Larry Fisk, the problem is solved. It was due to Norton Utilities which was saving all my deleted files. But, I've got a doubt. If Norton is saving them, they must be somewhere on the disk. But, I selected options for 'show all files' and 'show all OS files', selected all the files in my drive and looked at their properties. The total size shown is less than what the OS was showing. So, my question is, why aren't the files saved by Norton being counted? Thanks again for all those who have replied. -Satprem The NOSPIN Group Promotions is now offering Mandrake Linux or Red Hat Linux CD sets along with our NOSPIN Power Linux CD... at a great price!!! http://freepctech.com/goodies/promotions.shtml
