Have you cleaned the hdd of temps and redundant files? The hdd tends to clog up with all sorts of junk after some time, especially after surfing. Also, 111 GB isn't all that much I know. If you have lots of audio and movies, 111 GB is next to nothing.

Yes I know. I have a lot of video and music and games.

But last night I had like 8gb. And when I went to open PS then I checked at it cannot be that low. I am clearing temp dirs now.

Meh, I've got 450 GB and been running low already lately.

[Bobbin Threadbare]

I have 1GB now. But that's still too low. D:

Gosh, I still got my Pc that's not that up to date anymore and only 40GB of hard disk space, but I never run low on that, there's always enough eventhough I have quite a few games on it and some movie files.
First of all, to get some free space you could disable the System Recovery in your System Control. That's maybe not such a safe option, but I found I never had any use of that thing and no problems without it whatsoever, unless of course you aren't careful enough with files on your hard disk. Besides, without it you already should have quite a lot of space freed.
Also you should go to the folder c:\Documents and Settings (something like that), there to every folder of each user, there to the folder Local Settings\Temp and there delete everything since it's just temporary files and take up unnecessary space.

I have no virus scanner or anything so I don't think I should disable that. ;D

Done that already.

Have you defragmented the hdd lately? I believe that sometimes a messy hdd can report wrong capacity.

[Bobbin Threadbare]

Hehe. I haven't EVER defragmented in my whole time of using a PC.

[Mighty Midget]

oh dear......

If you get a virus, System Restore won't help you none. I say you should delete all restore points sans the most recent one. This should save you some more HDD space.

And, of course, DEFRAG IT NOW!!!
If you don't bother much about defragging, use this. It's a time-limited trial, but PerfectDisk is probably the best defragger I know of.

also if sectors are badly damaged it shows the wrong numbers. it used to be scan disk but now it's back to check disk to repair the errors.
