Thanks for the replies...
Marina, Pagefile is included in the files in [root] (ie 256 or the 257mb),
tempfile & log files I assume are included in the space used by their parent
directores (eg space occupied by files in \Winnt\temp is included in the
total space reported as being used by \Winnt and it's sub-directories). My
problem is not so much what is needing the space, but where it has gone as
there appears to be a mis-match between the total space reported as being
used by *ALL* the files/directories, the free space and the total disk size.
Steve, I am not aware of the Program Files directory growing (other than
because of log files / BadMail directory) and I am running regular (Daily)
Exchange aware backups (Veritas). My EDB files are not on this drive, but
are on another (125Gb) partition. I do try to keep on top of all the log
files anyway, but see above re the mis-match.
Lanwench, I have TreeSizePro already - it was that I was mainly using to get
the statistics... I agree it is a tiny system partition - I wanted to make
it 8Gb and created an appropriate raid container for it, but it seemed no
matter what I tried, when I originally installed the Windows 2000 Server
part of SBS2000, it would not let me create a boot partition greater than
4Gb and it will not let me extended it now I have created it. I still have
the other 4Gb in the container waiting unused if anyone knows how! Most of
the pagefile (all but 256Mb), Exchange (except for the BadMail directory -
how do I move that?), SQL server data files, Spool files, SUS files,
urlcache, ClntApps, Faxstore and User Shared Folders are all off the boot
partition already. I not sure of anything else I can move!
