Defrag and Cpacity mystery

[Guest Entelechy]

A few months ago when I ran defrag I got an error message about something in

MCC not operating properly with Diskeeper lite. Since then large amounts of

file space are appearing as fragmented (red), even though the report says

that the disk is fine. At the same time, the available sapce on my hard

drive has decreased to about 10% (from about 40%). I have tried to open MCC

but could not decipher what to do with it. I also downloaded the newer trial

version for Diskeeper and got the same outcome- including a warning about

volume space. Since diskeeper will not let me look at the drive map I cannot

see what the files are that are appearing.

 

I am running XP Tablet SP3 on a Lenovo x61T. All updates are current. Any

help appreciated.

Thanks Gerry,

 

Probably should have said that I have done all that. We are talking about

what looks like (if I eye it up) about 50 GB worth of data. So my guess is

that this is something way past the basics. As I said, it started when the

defrag program reported problems talking with MCC.

 

Thanks
