seems like you've got a problem with free space
you need to run chkdsk in xp or scan disk in win98 ME
to run it open my computer right click the hard drive icon click on properties click the tools tab under error checking click the check now button, win 98 Me put a tick in automatically fix errors then run it
with xp place a tick in both boxes click start it'll say it can do it do you want to schedule a disk check click yes then reboot to do the check don't touch the computer after rebooting until it's finished where it'll reboot into windows
it'll take about 45min to complete

There are 3 reasons. Either your Hardrive is a particularly small one. Or there is something eating up quite a lot of space. Or there is another partition on your computer. When you on ur copmputer, does it bring up a screen asking which Operating System to use. If that is the case, the third option i stated is true. Hope this helps.

There is a possibility that your hard drive is partioned. Check under the "My Computer" section to see if you have another letter drive that shows the missing 5 gigs.

go to add/remove programs and uninstall anything u dont use ... or u could buy a larger harddrive and get an imaging app like nortons ghost and copy ur system to the new larger drive .. just a note ... if u have a 20gig harddrive ur system bios prolly limits u to a harddrive of 120 gigs size ..

Sound like your no longer hassle-free force has failed and would would desire to get replaced. the different option may be to have an A+ qualified technician take a check out the workstation. no rely if that is not any longer the no longer hassle-free force itself failing then you have yet another hardware failure. one concern you could attempt to get rid of the workstation as concern. in case you have yet another pc with a cd burner acquire a bootable OS, there are a number of loose Linux variations. Boot your workstation using the cd and notice in case you will locate documents cutting-edge on the workstation no longer hassle-free force.

"$@#%" your (couch) hard drive... Buy a new one"
Dave Chappelle as Rick James...
Seriously, buy a new one, install it or have it installed for you, and use it as the "data" drive (only for music, vids, etc.)
you should be able to find a better supply of HDD on ebay.com or a similar site than you could at (the evil) Best Buy. Cheaper, by far, as well...
Make sure you get the right kind depending on your computer (IDE, SATA)

You say "freed up", does that mean you deleted it or compressed it?
If you deleted it, have you emptied your "recycle bin"?
Did you burn it to a CD and save the data for the burn?
Please give more info on "freed up".

If you deleted 10 GB of music, you would have at leat 10 GB free space. You obviously didn't get rid of 10 GB of music.

Empty your recycle bin......
You need to invest in a bigger hard drive, they are getting really cheap.....
