Kelsenellenelvian Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 You forget the space set aside by the pagefile and system restore...(Thats like 12% of your drive)
os2fan2 Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Are you sure that the profile on D: is not also being cached in C: ?. This can happen, along with all of the temp files. Do "set t" to see if your stuff is not also on c:
os2fan2 Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Open a command prompt.type "set t" without the quotes.look for where the TEMP variable is pointing to.Note that even if the user data is on the D: drive, the stuff will be cached onto the c drive. Doing set t will tell if your user profile is being cached there, and if you need to take steps to remove it.
koden Posted July 30, 2007 Author Posted July 30, 2007 Okay. Thanks..temp is on D: so it's not that..
