    My Virtual HD is set to 30GB of fixed allocation on my Mac HD. In WinXP Pro, when I check the HD usage by right clicking on the "C" drive and Properties, it shows a drive capacity of 29.2GB, Used space of 19.3GB and Free space of 11.2GB.

    Have all folders available (hidden one too) on my root directory, I checked the size of each folder (Windows, Temp, Documents and Settings, etc). Adding these all up, I can only account for about 11.2GB of space used.

    My question is what is consuming virtual HD space to show 18GB used? Something is taking up 7+GB of HD space for no reason that I can determine.

    Any help to figure this out is greatly appreciated as I am trying to reclaim space on my Mac HD for mac files. Thanks.
