I'm at a client site on an exchange server running server 2003. It's an 80 GB hdd with 75GB used. However I cant find what is using the space.. There's only one partition.. and when I goto properties for each folder on the root drive, the total of all folders is maybe... 24GB.. so we're short 50 GB?!? I've turned on view hidden files / folders and view system folders. I've also run check disk and I think my indexes are ok.. what could be causing this??
If you've had similar problems and know how to fix please let me know...

Download DIRUSE from microsoft and run that. Other such programs cannot include files/folders that they don't have access to (according to NTFS permissions).
Using DIRUSE you can determine what folders are using the space -
DIRUSE /* /, /M C:
should give the information you seek.
The space is PROBABLY used in the System Volume Information. Veritas/Symantec BackupExec is known to dump failed/incomplete backups there, in addition, Volume Shadow Copy stores copies there.

Check your windows page file "virtual memory" and see if the lost storage space is not there. If not try to defragment the HDD as this may free up space.

if it is an replace server with numerous site visitors it can be a cache situation...pass into the server and attempt something alongside the lines of squeezing...i don't undergo in ideas the marvelous term for server 2003 even with the undeniable fact that it is like the compress/compact you detect in the different products *Outlook, get entry to, exhibit*... numerous servers *and database form courses* tend to have that situation and you may pass in each each so regularly to scrub out previous deleted archives, log documents etc
