Hi,

Yes, you should always do that. An installation makes changes
to several system files, something that program is designed to
protect against.

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.

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

1. Have you tried defragging?
2. Do you have any Norton system tools running?

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
