Today, I just updated my America Online from 8.0 to 9.0. Everything went fine until after I started the bloody thing, the XP Pro version of the Blue Screen of Death saying it is dumping the physical memory or something to that effect. Afer that completed and the computer restarted, I noticed that my 20 GB Hard Drive partion on Drive C went from 1.07GB to 384MB. I uninstalled the AOL 8.0 and still I can't account on why I lost about 1GB.
Any ideas?

a) look for a memory.dmp file in C:\winnt or whatever winxp uses. Failing, that just scan your hard drive for large new files. (Do you have around a GB of RAM?)
b) Try running a scandisk...

You use AOL? you deserve what you get.
Try clearing out the cache and the temp files in your Windows directory.

How do I clean up the Cache and Temp files in Windows? Do I just delete the files in the folders?
And yes, AOL sucks at least in 9.0...

Cache: Start->Settings->Control Panel->Internet Options.
Under Temporary Files, press the Delete Files Option.
Temp Directory: Simply go into C:\Windows\Temp and delete everything that you can.
When there is a core dump, it usually lies in a file that is at the C: root directory. I forgot what this file is supposed to be.

Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Disk Cleanup

I've tried Disk Cleanup... still I can't recover all the 1 GB that went missing when the memory core dump initiated. Oh well... I guess I am getting the hard drive updated to the Hitachi 60GB 7,200rpm drive I saw.
