Hey confidential, you could use treesize to find out whats taking up the space from http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/TreeSizeSetup.exe

thanks but i need a little more help than that seems no1 can help me on this one. plz plz plz reply guys!

Sounds like you installed a new copy of windows next to the old one instead of installing fresh.

Since this is a fresh install and you wanted to formatt anyway its best to start over but this time boot from the windows cd and delete the old partition first.
