    Every time I restart my computer, the free space on my Windows partition goes up or down by about 4 gb.

    I'm pretty sure this has only started happening since I installed Service Pack 1.

    Does anyone know what could be causing this?

    I could probably isolate whatever it is by repeatedly restarting and trying to find out what's going on in the drive, but it would be a bit time consuming so I'm hoping one of you have seen this before.

    I have noticed this as well. It's gets weirder when I have less space after deleting some stuff.
