Answer 7

If you use Win Xp, there might be a possibility that a spy ware, virus or other malicious stuff had affected your back up portion of your hard drive. In Xp, automatically some portion of your disk is used up for creating system restore points; and running an anti virus normally doesn't scan those areas.

The solution is, run your windows in "safe mode" and then run a full system scan; you'll probably end up catching some more viruses....

Hope that will solve your problem......

1. First, run a scandisk or checkdisk. Let Windows fix any errors.

2. Run a disk cleanup utility...this will flush your temporary internet folder, trash can, temp system files, etc.

3. Delete any garbage files or data...if possible, run a Duplicate File Finder program....
