Re: Temporary Internet Files

Mahendra

After you have run chkdsk do the following.

To investigate how you are using hard disk space you need to make sure that
you can see all files. Go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View,
Advanced Settings and verify that the box before "Show hidden files and
folders" is checked and "Hide protected operating system files " is
unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second item. You should
also make certain that the box before "Hide extensions for known file types"
is not checked. Next in Windows Explorer make sure View, Details is selected
and then select View, Choose Details and check before Name, Type, Total
Size, and Free Space.

Then enter Windows Explorer and Search My Computer for "pagefile.sys"
without the quotes.Select All files and folders and make sure before
starting
the Search you have checked the first three options under "More Advanced
Options.

In what partition is pagefile.sys.

Forget about formatting or reinstalling Windows XP for now.
