I have an NTFS drive. The maker of it is SAMSUNG SP0802N. It has a maximum storage
of 13.9 GB. A couple of days ago my drive went crazy. It went from 1.5 GB to 800
MB. I deleted 1.5 GB of space, disabled the hibernation function, and lowered the
system restore's maximum storage usage. This totalled about about 2.5 GB removed
from the drive. It was now at 2.95 GB. Today, it's at 2.6 GB. It's been lowering
since I last defragmented my drive. I had to cancel the defragmentation in the middle
like 3 times because it was slow and I didn't have the time. I don't know if that
could have caused this. I also ran chkdsk a couple of times. I used the recovery
CD's recovery console to repair damaged files also. In a matter of a month or so
I believe I'll have no free space on this drive. I haven't been installing any programs
or anything to change the free space. It just keeps lowering about 0.02 GB per an
hour or so. This happens only when the computer is on, not while it's shut down.
Could someone tell me how to fix this? Also, don't give helpful ways to free up space
on my drive. I don't need that kind of help. I need to stop the drive from lowering
it's free space. Any help is appreciated.
