When i start my UT2004 the game load and write on my HD, i can see the size going smaller through "my computer", It's like the game is buffering for some reason but when i check the size of my Program Files folder it says 39gig but when i look in "my computer" it says 42gig taken.

So i want to know where can i find those 3gig files on my HD, this is a HD only for games so no OS or apps on it. I tried all the programs i have to remove temp files and they found nothing so right now im clueless on where those files might be...any ideas??

Turn of hidden files and folders and look for the swapfile. It must be it.

The reason why your program folder has 39gig and "my computer" has 42 gig is because of the swap file and the hibernation file. Windows will make a hibernation file with the size of your ram if you enable the hibernation mode.
