    I didnt see anyonw ask this but are you running Norton System Works?
    If you you will also need to "Empty Protected Files" During a recent deployment to Kuwait my laptop was running out of room and I peeked in and found that will all the DVD backups I had over 23 gigs of files that I didn't need. I looked thru them and seen that I didnt need them. Purged all and regained my space... Hope this helps someone out there

    Do you use Norton Virus protection? Yes or No?

    Hi,

    the files might be lost and not showing up. I suppose you using data recovery tools such as Active@ Undelete or Uneraser to see if something can be done. Actually, that did helped me before in a simmilar situation, so try it out.
