I tried to enter R here but it does'nt work. Here is what it says when I enter R:
The command is not recognized Type HELP for a list of supported commands.I'm sorry but the main PROBLEM now is that there is too little free space and you will have to get at least 15% free space. The only way I of doing this on your computer is to remove the Harddrive and slave it to another computer. Once that is done, you can transfer some files/folders of your data to some DVD's. I realize this is a drastic step but it's the only way I know of GETTING some more space on your C: drive.
Is there a way for me to just start over and wipe it clean. I have braced myself for the fact that I might loose all of my STUFF anyway.
Thank you.That might be the way to go but you can still save all your important data. You can remove the Harddrive and slave it to another computer and save your data on DVD's. You you slave a harddrive on another computer it becomes just another storage device. You can go into it and copy all your data to an external harddrive or to DVD's. If this is a laptop, you can do the same thing but you will need to buy a cable to hook the harddrive to another computer. I've sent a message to my mentor about this problem and I'll contact you when he gets back to me.Try following this guide. http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htmOk, I have windows xp back again. Thank you. I still have no space on my hard drive because it actually kept all of my programs and files. Now I have to find out how to delete a bunch of stuff.

The only program you can uninstall is HJT. You must have a ton of personel files, pictures, movies etc. to take up that much of your harddrive. The programs that you have presently installed should not take up that much room on your drive. You will have to check you files/folders to see which ones you can move to another drive.Install WinDirStat and see what is taking up the space.
