Ok guys heres one for you. My HD fills right. I had a problem one when I tried to delete more than one item in WIN XP by holding down the ctrl while deleting and having them duplicate rather than delete. But now everytime i turn the PC on the HD (60g) fills up and is not able to perform any functions. I couldn't even uninstall anything to make more room can you help I don't know what to do.

Try booting to Safe Mode by pressing F5 orF8 during the early boot time when the OEM logo is displayed or the BIOS text messages are show. Press it every second or so until you get the Safe Mode selection menu.

Edit: Corrected typo F6 should have been F8

Also do you know exactly whats the file that fill up your Hard drive(its useful info)?
Also after trying to uninstall what it says?
Does it say The windows installer could not be accessed.
This occur if you are running windows in safe mode, or if windows installer it not correctly install.
contact your support personal for assistant.

Canorro, that was supposed to read F5 or F8, not F5 ot F6! Stupid fingers don't want to do what the brain is trying to tell it. You'd never know I proof read all my posts before submitting them would you. :)


Thanks for catching that.

BTW: F5 will get you into safe mode. It's an alternative in case the BIOS usurps F8.
