After a power cut due to weather, I could not restart computer. I tried scanreg/restore without success.So I did Windows setup over existing folder. Everything went normally, until the setup of existing hardware on computer The setup then ceased with message of fatal error.so I ran setup again, at the same position I again got same message. Using startup disk,I could not find any solution.After a rest,I tried scanreg/restore again and this time it worked. The problem now is that apparently there is now a temporary file made during the attempted setups that has used up 300MB's of my free space.To restate, I have now 300MB's less free space than before. How can I get my free space back to normal? I will be grateful for any answers or possible solutions. reuven
