My Vista drive is showing 111G of use. The best I can tell, it should show no more that 40G of use.
I ran O&O defrag thinking it might reduce the the used space.
This is a picture of what O&O is showing me.
The first picture was taken right after I finished the defrag sequence outlined by NickN
the second picture is what shows as soon as I hit the Analysis button after the defrag.
My question is: is this normal for Vista 64 or do I have a problem with my HDD?

You are seeing one of the Vista pit-falls, unlike XP it allocates a defined block of partition space for system restore and other features. Real POS design if you ask me. The defrag program can not get at those areas and never will.
I wish that OS would just go away like WindowsME
I do not like green eggs and ham, thank you thank you, Sam I am
You can try shutting down system restore completely in the settings and the services, reboot and check it again to see if it cleared the space or not. As soon as I am finished testing next week, sadly i may start looking into vista tweaks again. Right now I must maintain a default install so none of my tests are skewed or iff issues come up I can isolate the cause back to the hardware or the os.

I actually like Vista for most things but, all my games and fun stuff are on the XP disc.
Even with the 8.12 Cat beta drivers (Vista Only) Vista is slower that XP, but not by much.
I bought the last HIS 3870 my local store had so am waiting for another one to come in so I can try Crossfire.
