- Well,
- I went through my dir's with dir /a:h
- and got rid of about 3 megs of files I previously deleted
- Anyone know why it did this?
- I also found the following files in the c:\ dir:
-
-
- IO.SYS 34,560 Bytes
- MSDOS.SYS 37,394 Bytes
- 386SPART.PAR 8,357,888 Bytes
-
- In c:\windows I find a hidden directory
- with a file in it that I deleted a long time ago.
- But, it is not letting me delete it. Any idea why? The others deleted fine.
-
- After deleting the hidden files chkdsk gives my 307 bad allocation
- units with 630K of space in them.
- Ill fix this with chkdsk /f
-
- My biggest question is about 386SPART.PAR what is this?
- Is this my swap file? I dont think it is, but I dont know much about
- swap files. All I know is that they should be typically about 2 or so meg
-
- right?
-
- whatever 386SPART.PAR is, It seems awfully big. Please help a newbie
- to configurations :)
