Rick,

Thank you so much! It worked. Do you know why? Should I always turn off the
auto protect to install software? I know some programs have said to do this
before installing, this one didn't.

Thank you again, I was getting "nutty" trying to figure it out.

Disable the Norton protected disk, reboot and see what happens.

Thanks to all who replied!

Checking the disk came out all good. I don't have any Malware or viruses
that Norton. Microsoft or AVG can locate.

Yes I have defragged, disk cleaned too.I still show about 1/2 of the drive
is free and 1/2 used but I am not being allowed to use it, actually
defragging and disk clean did free up 192 MB.

I don't really think it is partitioned unless it would have been done at
the
factory and the drive letter would have been left off.

I do have Norton Systemworks and Ghost running.

Pops, regarding my hard drive I only show 1 drive letter, the standard C.
C:
shows 18.3GB free and 19.8 GB used.

I guess I'll call Dell or Maxtor, if no one else is familiar with the
problem.

I will keep watching out and if & when I find out the problem I will post
it.
Thanks again!
Donna

Thanks for all of the time all of you put in answering all of the
questions
people have. I have used these forums for help for quite a while. But I
am
having a problem that none of my searches are bring me an answer to. I
have a
Dell Desktop with XP SP2, 640 MB Ram, 40GB HD and I have never made any
changes to the hard drive. I am getting an error message everytime I
try
to
install any programs or upload music, etc., stating my disk is full to
remove
some data to make space and retry. My hard drive is showing used space
19.8
GB and free space 18.3 with a NTFS file system. Is it possible that it
came
partitioned?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Donna
