Hello,
I just bought a new Sony Vaio CR35G. However, the brand new laptop showed only 176 GB when i started it, instead of 200 GB. Agreed some of the space was for the downloaded Windows Vista. However, most imp, over the past two weeks, i have barely loaded a few files on it and it shows a further 40 GB used, and the total free space as only 135 GB, when in fact, I dont even have 3 GB downloaded. Why is it showing so and should i run disk compression or is it some other reason? Thanks.

Some of that space is used for various things such as restore points witch you can set how much space you wanna take up but i don't think they would take up more then 12mb but vista is a whole different operating system so i wouldn't kno
