    Looking for a program that will show me how exactly how I am using (for example), 200gb's of a 250gb hard drive.

    Try something like SpaceMonger (n.b., it may, or may not, work on _Vista, the developer is currently working on a fully _Vista-compatible version).

    Beyond that, remember, google is your friend, so you might try some of the other hits I got from this google search.

    I found WinDirStat to be very useful when tracking down some missing hard drive space after using cCleaner.

    that's like windirstat without the treeview (which gives you full folder/file access like in the explorer). i'd suggest windirstat instead.

    and i love it's pacmans while loading :)
