150 gig shows now 127 gig

Dear people,

I had a WinXP on my 150gig Pentium 4 machine. Recently I upgraded OS to WinVista 32 bit. I did not remove WinXP before installing WinVista it just upgraded and saved all old files to Windows.old.ini. Does it mean that it also has WinXP as hidden. I have not downloaed any big program but when I open C drive I see size shown 127 gig and available 92 gig only. I opened Windows.old.ini but found size was so small.

How did I lose this much storage size I have not clue. In cotrol panel I looked and did not find any programs as I did not download yet.

I am confused! Please advise what should I do in this case.

Thanks a lot
dulmia
