All my hard drive space is gone! And keeps disappearing!?

Question

So this morning I woke up and I noticed a blip on my taskbar that said I had low hard drive space, though the last time I checked, I had over 30 gigabytes (I have a 80 gigabyte hard drive). I checked, and there was only 60 kb! I deleted some unneeded stuff and I got my hard drive back up to two gigabytes, and then I noticed that it started to go back down, and in about twenty minutes, it was back all the way down again. Someone told me to run AdAware, so I did, and I removed a bunch of Spyware I didn't know I had, but now I still have next to no space on my hard drive, and I don't know how to fix it, let alone what's wrong.

Help! I'm freaking out over here.

Here are my specs, if I need to post them:
Windows XP
Intel Pentium 4, 3.2 GHZ
ATI Mobility Raedon 9100 IGP
512 MB RAM

Sad to say it dude but this is more or less sounds like the final stages before your computer dies via spy ware and or virus. Best advise i can give if u have a burner save your important stuff, don't save to a external type of drive viruses and spy-ware can travel with the data stream. The CD method lot safer plus i have been told it's immune to viruses. After all this the only thing u can do is rebuild. And please know that the rest of your computer is dandy its just the hard drive that needs to be replaced at most, or u could reformat if u had a windows CD.

Well, I ought to ask, are you shutting windoze down after which killing the vigour or simply killing the vigour? Many individuals simply flip it off, that's a BIG mistake in the case of the well being and health of the dossier process at the force. Check the force well being. If you without difficulty flip off the vigour, you go away huge segments of the force being marked "in use" however there's no corresponding access within the listing. This approach your unfastened house stated through a DIR command is off my that a lot. The extra instances you do that, the extra unfastened house is stated as "in use" while it rather is NOT. CHKDISK or SCANDISK will verify the well being and repair any disorders with those "misplaced" fragments.The repair does NOT have an effect on those "misplaced" clusters that's why THAT fails. Defragmenting does NOT paintings till you might have a healthful dossier process. Defrag SHOULD verify the well being of the force earlier than it begins running and NOT do some thing if the dossier process stories mistakes and immediate you to repair matters. Run scandisk frst after which run defrag and eventually permit defrag conclude! Do NOT EVER simply flip off the vigour!
