Try looking at the drive properties in My Computer.

it says 110 gig used of 120 when i can only find 50 gig used on the disk??
There is 60 gig in the my documents folder unaccounted for that i cant find?

Perhaps the dfolder shell extension could help you locate the data:

Is your drive split into multiple partitions?

 

[Graedat]

no, no partitions 120 gig running windows xp

Go to Disk Manglement---uh, Management---do you see the 60gigs now?

 

[Graedat]

Yes disk manager shows the disk full.
I started a defrag and that showed it full.

Did the dfolder extension not help show where the data resides?

 

[Graedat]

didnt help, i reformatted and thats fixed it.
