zomg the vista?

[imposter]

So i was wondering how many GB vista was using and all that fun stuff, i and i saw my primary raid windows/raid set up was using a 103GB. I thought that was impossible considering i have only an OS, CSS, and a few pictures on the drive. And sure enough it is... I checked all the files in the c directory, removed all hidden file types, and i still see about 35GB of use. i used this program called scanner and it also agrees with the number i found. now my question is where did my 70GB go? does vista have some hidden functions i don't know about?!?!

thanks in advance


edit this is windows ulitmate 32bit
2x250GB drives in raid 0 (intel maxtrix raid)
p5b-e motherboard

Go to "My computer" and right click -> properties on your C: drive.

Turn this off (disable all):

Winner is you. Press start, play again?

Of course that is a nice feature. If you don't need the space I'd leave it turned on. It could save your *** one day ;^)
