server 2003 disk drive size

[dcoffaro]

config:

HP Proliant
2 18.2 GB Drives, RAID 1
6 146.8 GB Drivers, RAID 5

2003 AD Member Server:

OS drive has capacity of 8.7GB and displays 441 MB free. Heyna, SMS
2003, MS Utilities confim this. The drive has "show hidden files"
selected and "hide system files" deselected, i.e. pagefile.sys. After a
selection of all files on disk, the total media accounts for 5.12 GB.
Obviously the difference from 8.7 and 5.12 is 3.6 GB, not 441 mb.

Would like to know how to account for the difference? Is there a third
party utitlity someone recommends?

Thanks,

I'd run treesize pro up against it to see if theres a file there somewhere which is hogging the drive.

Could be a recycle folder?

Perhaps system restore?

Just guessing to try and help sorry! Try treesize and that'll show you where the space has vanished to.

Personally I'd run it from your client against \\servername\c$

Good luck
