Hi Folks,

I have a problem with my hard drive. I have a 266 mhz HP Kayak with 64MB of RAM and a 4GB HD. Recently, it doesn't display the correct properties for used and free space, when I click on my computer » C Drive » right click properties. The problem occured when I was using photoshop 7 and scanning some pictures. The properties used to read 2.9GB of free space now it only reads 462MB of free space. Is there anything that I could do to free up space in my hard drive? I have deleted all large image files that I was working on PS7, uninstalled some programs not being used and deleted files from the temp folders but nothing seem to work. Will this permantely damage my hard drive? Does it have to be replaced or can I do something to fix it?

Thanks in advance for all the replies! Have a good day!
