Click Start, Run ( Type ) Cmd [Enter]
SFC /Purgecache [Enter]*Effectively this impacts Windows File Protection, so if any
monitored files need replacing you'll be prompted for your
Windows XP CD-ROM, something you mentioned you do
not have.

Can you tell me how to do that; the SFC/Purgecache, do I type that as you
put
it at the command line. That will help all he wants to do is play
solitaire
and check email from family. He's 82yrs old. Thank you for your reply

4.0 Gigabytes is too small to effectively run Windows and most of
the common applications. There are some items that take up space
you can remove but long term you're only postponing the eventual
move to a larger drive. One item is doing an SFC /Purgecache this
will return around ~500 Megabytes of space. The command needs
to be done from a Command Prompt window.
A PATA ( Parallel ATA ) drive is very inexpensive. An 80-Gig
drive can be bought for under ~$50.

I have a Compaq desktop w/XP Home, with Service pack 2. I cannot seem to
clear hard drive space which states that it is too full to even do a
disk
cleanup. I have already done disk cleanup before that and deleted all
file's
and programs. In my computer: used 3.77 GB, fr4ee 231 MB, Total sige is
4.00
GB and only 5% free on disk. I've tried to defrag and system would not
let
me
because of the low disk space. In system info it has total physical 256
MB,
Available Physical, 133.49 MB, Available Virtual 1.96 GB and total
Virtual
2.00 GB. Page file space is 611.20 MB. Processor i AMD 3D processore
394
MHZ,
252 Ran wi NTSF file system, FAT 32. Also done a disk error check and
it
fixed a small amout of cluster files. Can anyone guide on what to do to
get
this disk free? This is my Dad's computer and I don't have the original
Window XP disk. Help me Please!
