| Guest | service pack 1: where has all the space come from? I recently installed service pack 1 from windows update. Now, when I go to C drive properties, I have far more hard drive space than I had before. I store a lot of layered Photoshop images on a two terrabyte internal hard drive ( drive C ).It is the usual raid stripe array and works very well. Until the installation I had used about a 1/4 of my drive space; now it shows only about 1/7. I defrag regularly and keep everything up to date and clean. It is as though I had deleted a lot of my images, but as far as I can tell they are all still there. Could it be that windows is giving me false information and there is less hard drive space than there appears to be? Why would sp1 do that? Is there any way I can check? I would be very grateful for any suggestions. |

I noticed after I installed SP1, it deleted all my restore points except for the one it created automatically prior to installing SP1. -- Don |

I think that's it. I regained 20 gigs of my 250 gig drive after installing SP1. It could only have been deletion of restore points. |
