problem with hard disc

[mandyben]

hi, I have windows xp, and I have a problem with big file. I work on video, and when I delete big file (10 gigas for example), the space of my hard disc don't change, I have always the same problem when the file are very big, some of my friend have the same problem, I think it's perhaps a problem with xp, because my wastepaper and my temp dictory are empty.

I try to make a disc doctor, but it's always the same, my hard disc is 250 gigas, I have about 120 gigas which are really on my disc but there only 20 gigas space free. So there 110 gigas which are lost.

I would like to know if someone had this problem or if it exist a program to repair this problem.

thank you very much

What motherboard do you have? have you checked that its bios is upto date to see the size of hard drive you have?
It probably is but it is worth checking if there is any bios updates for your motherboard..

Do you ahve your hard drive partitioned?
