Hello,

My hard disk is rather full and I'd like to know what's using it all!

Does anyone know of a utility which will let me get some kind of report on all the directorys and how much space they are consuming? I'm thinking of something like the old DOS TREE command, but I'm sure there must be something more whizzy these days.

I know I can use file manager but going into every directory is rather tedious. The OS is windows 2000.

Thanks in advance for any advice or tips.

cheers
Nomme

I was reading about a freeware utility that did just what you're after whilst looking for some disk cloning software yesterday...

heres a list of such utilities, take your pick.

Is that all? wish thats how little space my collection took up... I've got over 300Gb of storage on my PC and I'm starting to run out again think I might just invest in a new 300Gb HD, they're going for so cheap lately... £90 for 300Gb... its crazy!

Why is my collection so small?

Quality, not quantity
