    Donwload and run this tool :
    CCleaner available here

    Once its installed click on the desktop icon or right click on the recycle bin and "Open CCleaner" from there select , Run.
    It will fly through your accumulated temp files and get rid of them for you.
    In the end it will show the total amount removed, I have seen it pull 2gb's plus from machines so worth a try.
    Aside from that you could disable System Restore as that takes up HDD space also. Right click My Computer -> Properties->System Restore Tab->Disable System Restore.

    Why not? I'm not too sure what drives the 1300 came with, but perhaps it was a very low capacity drive?

    25MB of space is really not much at all. I have a song on my computer that is 25MB. You really need to go into Control Panel - Add/Remove programs and remove stuff you dont need anymore.

    is there a chance you bought it for less money than your friends? they may have paid extra for extra hard drive space depending on the offer dell had at the time ...

    i have the inspiron 1300 too and i have 60gb hard drive....


    also can you invest in an external hard drive? might help!

    The drive could be partitioned, or have unallocated partitions on it.

    Here's a link to what you should see.

    Is the circle completely blue like the image above?
