reload back to factory level,install your operating disc and restart your machine,boot to the disc,not hard drive,then when it through install the driver disc and install your drivers,then you can start over with a clean machine,make sure you run all the windows updatesand ETC
wait.. what? you deleted Fat, And fat32? … is there even a fat32 folder? System32?
haha Don't ever delete anything named fat32 or anything for that matter named 32. Fat as in the harddrive format? o.O Gah.
okay buddy, first off You could start by deleting some music/Movies off your computer, if you download via torrents then check your download folder. How many games do you have in there o.O lol 32gb per you'll have a stuffed harddrive in no time.
Haha, thats for the major things. uhm, go to CCleaner.com and wipe your temp file it'll probably delete a good gig or 2 of crap. fix a few registry errors while your at it =)
Check what size harddrive you have? My computer, right click on local disk C and go to properties it'll tell you what size your harddrive is… Honestly. 150bucks you can buy a tarabyte internal. Trust me its all the room you'll need… haha, 1024gb in a tarabyte.

to begin with uninstall any applications you dont need – goto my computer right click on the c drive and select properties and then run the disk clean up, click on the advanced section too and select delete all but the most current restore point – next search for any files over 20mb there are probably lots you can delete – if you manage to free up 15% of the hard drives space convert the drive to NTFS as its compression is much better, but its also more secure and resiliant than FAT32 http://www.computer-adviser.com/computer-speed-up.html
try a free program called ccleaner it will clean lots of garbage you pick up from visiting sites and stuff.
