indixing eating up HD space
Here's one for you guys, and hopefully somebody here knows something I don't. Didn't realize I had left indexing on when I installed XP a year ago. I have 2 80 gig drives and lots of partitions. My C:\ drive is 15gig, only WinXP and small stuff like WinRar, etc installed on it. Now I added up what's installed, 5.1 gig, and Windows says I have 2 gig free. Do the math, you'll see the problem. Booting with Partition Magic and checking the drive. I found out that my missing free HD space is being used up by Windows Indexing. Now I have shut down the indexing service, deleted the cataologs, etc. I managed to retrieve I gig.
Any Gurus out there have an idea of what I should try next to acquire access to that 8 gig of space.
If speed kills, then I'm already dead
