500 MB :confused: Either the divx was somehow deleted (which you probably would have spotted

) or windows is not reporting the disk size correctly. Run scandisk.

ps (at least you modem, cdr and a couple pci slots didn't blow

)

Perhaps your Windoze swap file got damaged and it created a new one when you rebooted.
