Re: Server Losing Hard Disk Space

["Santosh Shelke" <santosh.shelke () acm co in>]

Hey !

do you have any SQL  software , database hosted on this same win2k server,
if so then gotcha

check the database

check in the databse option   what mode   is recovery set to, if it is full
then it will eat up all the space , keep this option as  "simple"
also remember to check the size of any database . depends on the number of
database

one  more thing make sure you are not taking too many backups of database on
the same hardisk
btw all these Applies if  you have SQL installed.

if not so then please check you RAM( virtual RAM), virus, or any new
installed software which generates periodic report and  stores on local
drive.

With filemon from sysinternals you can see which processes are accessing
which files
