vanhaze Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hi there, This week i installed Windows 7 and some small apps on my empty Gforce 240 - 3. After that i checked how much space was left on the drive and it seemed that about 70 gig was used already. This can't be normal, can't it ? What could be the problem ? Hope someone can shed a light on this ! Best, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
