nVIDIA ate my HD space!
« on: July 13, 2005, 03:24:06 pm »
I uninstalled my old nVIDIA GeForce3 Ti200 drivers (v5.8.4.2 or something) I installed drivers 3.0.8.2, then uninstalled them because I had accidentally broked something in them and deleted a file or something, so I reinstalled them. When I glance at my C:\ drive I'm missing over 150mb of disk space. And 150mb of 3.99gb is a LOT for C:\ drive considering that my comp runs much faster with 1.09GB of free space as opposed to 919MB of free space.

And I can't even e-mail them because "Since we do not sell directly to the user, we cannot provide support." Bullshit, as far as I care, I downloaded the drivers from YOUR site. My video card is an nvidia geforce3 ti200.

Whatev, can I possibly get some help finding out where all my harddrive space went?

If you have 1GB of HD space left, you need a new HD. :P

You can tell the difference between a gb and 150mb less space?

I might be interested in purchasing that harddrive off of you. Who knows, maybe you can buy a bigger one with the profits.

They don't have that on their website!

@Quik: It's not for sale, sorry. Though I would love to get rid of it, that would cause more hassles. (Second new install of Windows in 3 weeks!) Also yeah, it runs a tad bit slower. It's not immediately noticable, but when you start up Gaim, Firefox, 3 bots, and Winamp at the same time you can it's slowing down.

@Sidoh/R.a.B.B.i.T: Are you willing to pay for one for me? Exactly.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I think the most I've ever done is two in a month or so. I think Newby's experiences involved a very faulty harddrive or something, haha. Just assuming... :)

That happened about half a year ago right before my 200GB Seagate bombed on me.

Here's the news post, lmao: http://sidoh.dark-wire.net/?fuseaction=news.full&id=12
