low disk space xp

[beets]

I seem to have a glitch.When I record I get a measage from my system tray indicating that i have low disk space.It happens within 30 seconds of recording and sometime it gets stuck in record mode.After getting out of pro tools I went into my drive to check my properties,I was baffled to find that my audio files were huge!!!I used 6 gigs of space.I only recorded 10 tracks for 30 seconds or so.(note I was lucky sometimes that this did not occure every time but it is occuring evertime now).Not knowing what may be the problem I feel it is important to list my input section.I used my optical inputs via presonus digi max and 001 front end mic pres.I'm using a supermicro PIIIdm3 mother board,PIII 667 processor,256ram,ide for OS,ide for storage,18gig and 10gig scsi,for audio.Any input or solutions would be very much appreciated.Thank you....

Sorry, I'm not being very helpful.

When did these large files appear? On this project only?
