                    I deleted the FAT32. Which turned 4.34 GB into unallocated space. My C drive still says 29.7GB is used, the capacity size is 31.1GB. Any other suggestions on how I can find out what is taking up the majority of my C drive? Or suggestions for increasing space on my C drive?

                    //One, is the C drive, it says NTFS, E says FAT32, the other doesn't have a letter in front but says FAT.//
NTFS-your C drive
FAT32-probably your recovery partition.You can remove it if you have your recovery CD
FAT-diagnostic partition,only a small size is being utilized by this partition.You need not remove it.

                    What is your harddrive size?
//3 partitions. One, is the C drive, it says NTFS, E says FAT32, the other doesn't have a letter in front but says FAT.//
40 GB? thats low.
I'm sorry but its time to upgrade your harddrive

                    My C drive is 32GB. That may be the problem. It just seems like one minute I had space and the next it was zapped.

Launch it
Check mark Select all
And click empty selected
See if that reduces space.Other than usage from appdata and temp folders there is nothing suspicious I find.

                    I have 2 system32 folders. One is windows\system32 (size 132 MB); the other is windows\new\systems32 (size 1.35GB). I'm running the chkdsk right now.

                    guys, this seems like a problem of sync center in windows. go to sync center,,manage offline files,,, and then click on the disable offline files and probably might have to restart ur pc until it takes effect. try this...
