    I have make a thread about my HD space problem, but now it seems to be entirely different. my avaliable space on the HD is reducing by itself. last night before i put my vostro 1400 to sleep i have about 71gb of free space, today i woke up only to find that i have 69.5 gbs left, I thought i could free some up by doing a disc clean up which as indicated saved me 8mbs.then i checked my HD space again it reduced to 69.3 gbs, what the hell is wrong with my vostro its not even a week old. well help me guys

    Here is someone who had a similar problem and the suggested fix was to turn off system restore points.
