Hi friends,
My PC is equipped with 80GB hard disk with Window XP Professionals installed. I used to have four partitions -
C:14.72GB
D:19,60GB
E:19.58GB
F:20.61GB
All of these are formatted using FAT32 file system. Yesterday, I marked the total size of my C drive has reduced to 12.14GB.
How and why have I lost 2.58GB. Any solution?

Hi Romiras. I'm not computer savvy. Maybe it's a space that the system uses and you can not see how it is used because of hidden files? That's all I can think about and there is a big chance I'm not right as I don't know a lot about computers. 2.58 GB is a lot though.

how is possible that you lost 2.58 gb of space from your C drive
you might have installed your operating system in C drive and if you lost some space from there that might affect your OS you can do one thing just make an image of your operating systems i mean your window write it on a DVD and install ghost cd on your system and with the help of that simply install that image into some other partition it will hardly take 5-10 minutes and your OS will be installed with all the current softwares which you are using in it.
after that format your C drive by booting from the operating system you have installed now yu can recover your lost space
another thing you can try is easy professional recovery which can show you what data you have lost from your C drive and it can also recover it
you can found the easy recovery professional software from any p2p like torrents ares or lime wire i have loaded the same from ares
all the best buddy
