Thanks for your help.
I got kdirstat to work, it was operator error as usual. The usr file is
only 3.9 gig, and it is the largest file on the drive. It looks to me
like the whole drive is not over 7 gig. I used "/" for my search.
Var is only 177 meg.
I do have two 40 gig hard drives the first is my windows partition and
it is hda1. There is no problem that I can see with that one. Hdb is
also a 40 gig hard drive. The first partition hdb1 is a 6 gig fat32
partition that I use to share files, my hda drive is NTFS. In dev hdb2 I
have ab extended partition that says 32 gig. Hdb5 is a linux swap
partition and is only about .5 gig. Now here is the confusing part,
there is a hdb6 which is about 33 gig. You see this can not be possible
because it is a only a 40 gig drive.
I have no /work folder.As far as the rest you lost me. I did a backup
and I think that is how I ended up with hdb2 and 6. I expect I imaged
the partition somehow. I deleted my back up file because I thought it
was to big and now I cant do the back up again. I will try that again.
So as you can see I am pretty lost. My windows instinct says to just
wack the image or virtual drive but that probably makes no sense in linux.
