Do you have lot of movies, pictures or programs, or all othe above. How big is the HD (hard drive)?
You could upgrade the hd, buy bigger.. or reduce the usage by moving movies and pictures to CDs or DVDs and also remove any programs that you have not used forever.. Control Panel, Add / Remove Programs, Select, then remove, things you know about but don't use. Don't reccomend removing items you don't know.
Another way to clear some space is to delete some internet tempory files.
From your browser, open the Tools menu, then the Internet Options, then find Delete browsing history, temporary files. This varies slightly by browser version. These temp files can use up maybe a gig of space by themselves.
To run the check disk utility you will need a repair disc or
a operating system disc. Put the disc in the cd drive and boot from
it. You want to get to the Dos Command Prompt (Black screen with white
letters) and type the following commands and press enter after each one:
sfc /scannow
chkdsk /r
Check disk will run well over an hour or two and you will notice the
percentages going from high to low, this is normal. Let it run to
completion. Then reboot machine.
If check disk fails to solve your problem you might have to reinstall windows.
Try doing a Repair Install that way you don't loose your data, documents,
music, pictures, videos or programs.
In windows xp you get to the dos command prompt by selecting R for repair when
the options appear.
In Vista and Windows 7 you want to get to the recovery
console and look down at the bottom of the window for the Dos Command.
