Why does my hard drive show only 1% capacity available?  There is really nothing on it.  About three months ago I got a bad internets infection and had to do the booty wipe on it.  A complete re-format new instalation.  Since I really only use my home machine for the interneting I didn't bother putting everything back on it 'cept the essentials like drivers and readers and browsers and such.  I backed-up all my pictures before I reloaded and there are only about two or three dozen pics when before I had close to a thousand.  No videos and my temporary internet folder's cash is set at 512 megs.  Yet it says it is near pegged on a 20 gig drive.  What gives?
