    Hey guys,

    I'm not sure if this relates to lenovo or to windows vista so decided i'd just give it a shot here. I bought a T400 a few months ago with the 160GB Drive. However I started to notice that my harddrive seemed to have very little space even though I didn't have very much on it. I was searching online and people said a lot of the memory is likely taken up by System Restore. However, even after disabling System Restore I seem to have a lot of missing space. When I run TreeSize to see where the space is taken up the bottom says that I have 14 GB free out of 138GB, however, the program only shows where 68gb of that space is allocated. Access is denied to RRbackups and System Volume Information. Is it possible that these could be taking up my missing 60gb or so?

    try disabling and enabling the System restore.you can disable the option for windows update backups, you can also disable the hibernation option
