Hi all,

See this picture..

And now i entered that drive....Selected all folders (including hidden) and checked the properties...and it is like this

Thing is that i've turned off system restore, then no hibernation, then virtual memory is set to zero... Then where is the rest of memory...:(

The things in the folder "System Volume Information" which in simple words is the back-up folder for System Restore are not counted in the 2nd method. Also reduce the size of your Page File.

Disable System Restore and enable it again. You'll get more free space.

I guess it will get counted in the second method too. Since my hidden files (including system files are not hidden). Anyway since i have turned off the system restore in this drive, "system volume information" will not consume ryt...here the screenshot..

This is particularly aion gold disheartening for the sites' creators because they are really invested in their communities and it pains them to see people do harm within the cultures they've helped wow gold evolve.
