16 GB of free disk space required to upgrade?

I have a 80 GB drive partitioned and C: has 3 GB of spare, I would like to upgrade to windows 7, but it says I need 16 GB of free disk, Vista is already using 22 gb - if I upgrade to I win 6 GB or is windows really 38 GB because none of my partitions are that big. (E: a 22 GB of spare I put windows on both Partitions?).

I tried to resize the two partitions by using disk management C: offers the possibility of reduction of the score but the expand option is grayed out.

Windows 7 32-bit requires 16 GB of free disk space
Windows 7 64-bit requires 20 GB of free space on the disk

In fact, Windows 7 does not use that amount of space, but for the actual installation, Windows 7 will store some files temporarily to help with the installation. Disk space actually used by Windows varies from 6 to 10 GB, depending on the edition you are installing.

You can try to free disk space by running disk clean up and remove old system restore points. You can also try clearing your temporary files directory:

Click Start, type: folder
Press ENTER, delete the contents of this folder.

Additional details and instructions for the release of disk space:

You should try to uninstall applications you do not use and move files you use for example videos, photos on an external hard drive, you could do temporarily, then restore them after the installation of Windows 7.

  • Remove MSXML programs safely to free disk space.

    I have a Sony VIAO with windows XP. This is an old desktop computer and not my computer alone.  I try to free up disk space on my C drive and did the basics.  I'm looking to remove programs but I get a message that I don't have enough space to remove programs.  My question is under Add or remove programs, I show 6... Programs MSXML.  listed in this order... MSXML 4.0 (KB25672), MSXML 4.0 (KB927978, MSXML 4.0 (KB936181), MSXML 4.0 (KB954430), MSXML 4.0, (KB973688) MSXML 6.0 PARSER (KB933579).)  One of these can be removed?  Any suggestions on how to free up space in order to remove programs and not get the error message... "not enough disk space to remove programs.  I have an external drive that has LOTS of space.  Thanks for your time.

    I recommend that you do NOT remove any entry in Add / Remove programs that starts with k.  In fact, you should uncheck the "Show updates" box in Add or remove when you go there looking for things to uninstall to create more disk space.

    I have not watched all the items you list, but some (and I expect everything else) are critical security updates.

    There are a number of things you can do to - temporarily - free disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a bigger internal hard drive.   You can move the data to your external drive, but if it's the data that you use frequently, slower access times may annoy you.  Therefore, I do not recommend that you move your My Documents folder in its entirety on the external drive, but you can certainly do this by following the related instructions.

    • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
    • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
    • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
    • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
    • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)

    But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

    In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files you must move it to your external drive.  If you want to move an application, you will need to uninstall and then reinstall it specifying your external drive as the installation location.  You can not simply move the files.

  • Free disk space on the C partition

    Separated from this thread.

    I am also having the same problem.  I am running Vista Home Premium SP2.  I was getting close to complete on my drive C (13% free space). I was shocked to see how quickly it filled up, almost as if he did it by himself.  I was downloading a lot so I had no idea how it happened.  I ran each program cleaning and each antivirus that I had to try to make room.  I cleaned up program files deleted a bunch of audio and video files, and it does not seem to do much more of a difference.  I shut down the computer for the night and is returned to him the next morning.  I ran and bought a few flash drives to transfer files more and when I booted up I checked the hard drive and it was back to 48% free space (as it was before).  I have no idea what happened, but so far, it seems to be fixed...?   one of the cleansers I ran also ccleaner.

    Compress files

    There are two ways to compress files in windows. Zip files and built-in file compression. It's built-in file compression. For more information on compression type zip in Start - Help and Support .

    Photos, music and video are already compressed. They can get larger if Windows tries to compress it any further. Also usually a bad idea to compress system files.

    If you have files of worksheet they can very well be compressed. If you have files, installation files, they can also be good candidates. Web pages are also good candidates.

    In Windows Explorer, blue file names means Tablet (it is the file system compression not aka zip files compressed files). Green filename means Encrypted.

    To disable file names colored, in Explorer - Tools menu (Alt + T)- display tab and then clear the check box for Show encrypted or compressed NTFS in color .

    Windows compression, encryption and security to work for the most part by applying attributes to a folder and the files in the folder inherit the folder.

    If you have all the files appropriate for compression, find them in solution, made Explorer right click - Properties - general -Advanced button tab - Compress contents to save disk space. Choose to apply to all files and folders when asked.

    To use a command line to compress the files in the Favorites folder.

    Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).

    compact/c /s:"%userprofile%\Favorites." *

  • What does the red exclamation point and which would prompt me to now have more free disk space?

    It was getting my full disk space. Up to 1.2 GB to 73 GB. I removed some unnecessary files and programs up to 4.6 GB. Last night my internet was running very slow and I got a message that says that my disk space is full. I went to the Explorer, who intends to seek more to remove offline. To my surprise, it showed that I have 38 GB of free space. At the same time however, some (not all) of my desktop icons now have a red exclamation mark on them. There are some that are shortcuts, jpg files and doc files. That means the red exclamation that tempt me to now have more free disk space?

    I would just be guessing really. He could have files, online backup was queued up. It may be something to do with the shadow copy of Volume. If I use cleaning disc with the option all users and delete restore Points and shadow copies on the tab "More options", I'll be back about 15 GB on a disc of similar size. The effect is only temporary, until they accumulate again.

  • Why Windows 7 displays an incorrect amount of free disk space / used on my DVD - RW drive?

    Why Windows 7 displays an incorrect amount of free disk space / used on my DVD - RW drive?

    Windows 7 can show the incorrect amount of free and used space in serious DVD - RW or DVD + RW media properties.  After burning data on the disk, Windows 7 could show that there are 0 bytes of used space and free space available on the disk capacity.  In reality, the amount of used and free space on the disk is reversed.

  • free disk space

    Software called "Oracle 10 g" cannot say how much free disk space is available on the hard drives? Probably, it cannot be said that, but I have just re - ask here to be sure.

    An order can say that (how much free space on a disk)-such as the command df on Linux. This command can be used to Oracle software (for example called from PL/SQL script or by a DBMS_SCHEDULER job).

    So yes - Oracle s/w can report (indirectly) on the disk.

  • Calculate the disk space required for the INDEX

    Hello

    How to calculate the disk space required to create an INDEX? Please tell me where I can get the details of resources.

    For example:
    I need to create a non-UNIQUE INDEX on the columns, an approximate size would do.

    < PRE >
    NOT NULL DATE EVENT_DATE
    APPT_DATE_SLOT VARCHAR2 (15)
    EVENT_STATUS VARCHAR2 (4)
    < / PRE >

    The table has some 7 300 000 rows. I would like to know how to calculate too.

    All AIDS are very much appreciated.

    A rough estimate of the index space will need is possible by

    adding the actual length expected from each column, plus 6 for the rowid, 2 for the number of the X-header of the rows in the table that will be so an entry

    Date are 7 bytes internal + 15 + 4 + 2 + 6 = 34 X 7.3 M = 248200000 X General fresh for the block header, initrans, etc...

    We will use 20% overhead block or 1.2 X 248200000 = 297840000, which is about 285 M

    The actual distribution will vary according to your method of range tablespace.

  • Mobile library did not free disk space

    I got my Macbook GB 512 Pro flew a few weeks back and I bought a MacMini I have another laptop.

    The MacMini is only a 250G SSD and its already full.

    I have storage iCloud but everything still seems to want to live on my SSD.

    I moved the photo library (30G) of the SSD to a USB attached (formatted OSX extended) and naively expected to free up space when I deleted the original PL and emptied the Recycle Bin after you did.

    Unfortunately there were no releasing 30 g at all and I still have the same problem.

    My SSD Mac was / is also showing 20G of movies, all deleted or left the trashed SSD (and empty) - all this without release all space.

    I am unable to save or update my iPad Pro due to lack of space (about 10 G of free disk SSD) - The MacMini tells me that there is not enough space on the SSD drive.

    I is turned off and turned back on iCloud Photos and fact will restart but not luck. All my photos are safe in iCloud, so I don't really know what I have to do to free up space.

    Someone at - it ideas or experience similar issues?

    Thank you

    For the other category in the display of information storage, see this support article. If the display appears to be inaccurate, try to rebuild the Spotlight index of the boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.)

    Empty the trash if you don't have it already done. If you use iPhoto, emptying his trash internal everything first:

    ▹ iPhoto empty the trash

    In pictures:

    ▹ Show of the recently deleted ▹ file delete all

    Do the same thing in other applications like Aperture, with an internal feature of the trash. Then, restart the computer. Temporarily, which will free up space.

    According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the boot volume (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation, not the mythical 10%, 15% or any percentage. You also need enough space to allow the growth of the data over. There is little or no advantage in terms of performance to get more free space than the minimum Apple recommends. Storage space you'll never use is wasted space.

    See this support article for some easy ways to free up storage space. A common waste of space is old backups iTunes to mobile devices. As shown in this support article, select the devices tab in the iTunes preferences window, select the backup that you want to remove and click on delete the backups. Keep at least a backup of each device you use yet.

    You can, if you wish, use a tool such OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and discover what is take up space. You can also delete files with it, but not unless you don't know you know what you remove and that all data is stored safely. This means that you have several backups, not one. Note that the ODS only works with OS X 10.8 ("Mountain Lion") and later versions.

    IMPORTANT: This comment is neither a recommendation nor an endorsement of any third party software. You should always do your own research to determine if the unknown software is safe and useful. Don't take the word of anyone, including mine.

    Deletion of files inside a photo library or iTunes will damage the library. Such a library should be changed within the application that created it. It is the same for e-mail files.

    Go further than if the problem is not resolved by the steps above.

    ODS cannot see the whole file system when you run simply by double-clicking; He sees only the files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you must run it as root.

    Back up all the data now.

    Install the application in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it runs.

    Triple-click any where in the text line below on this page to select, then copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing command + V. You will be asked for your login password.

    The application window opens behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will finally show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.

    I do not recommend that you make a habit of doing. Do not delete anything as root. If something should be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then remove by safer alternatives. If in doubt, leave it alone or ask for advice.

    When you are finished with the app, he quit and also to leave Terminal.

  • How can I get the amount of free disk space using the space using windows 7 Please share example using GetDiskSpace

    How can I get the amount of disk space by using windows 7 Please share example using GetDiskSpace I already studied http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9958B8E473C4EF1786256BBC0053B64F

    Reading your question a little more in detail, I doubt if you are using the Win32 GetDiskFreeSpace API function (including my previous post is the solution) of the function GetDiskSpace from the Toolbox of the programmer.

    With respect to the other, it works even with capacity greater than 2 GB disks, but you must use the appropriate formatting code to display the returned value. I updated my example to display the total of free space in the debug output window and added a comparison with the value of 3 GB using UInt64TypeCompareUInt box to tools programming interface.

  • No sound after clicking OK for review to free disk space.

    Hi all.

    Hi my friends young son received a notice it is computer saying he was running out of disk space and the computer could take these steps to free up space.

    Well you know kids, he presses OK before asking one.

    Now, there is no sound on the computer. I went in audio devices, sound. But it happens that there is no audio device on the computer. Tried to load the drivers for the sound, but the Research Assistant could not find the audio device.

    The operating system is Windows XP. I could reload the sound from the installation disk supplied with the program. If yes how.

    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    ·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

    ·         You have the CD of motherboard drivers that came with the computer? (Not the install disc)

    If Windows can't find a driver for your sound card or sound processor, and the device didn't come with a driver, you can look for a driver on the manufacturer's website. Driver updates are often available in the section of the support of these Web sites.

    To locate the driver, find the manufacturer and model name or number of your sound card and then visit the Web site of hardware and software vendor contact information . When you find your manufacturer, go to his site and locate and download the latest driver for your sound card.

    Step 1:

    Follow the steps in troubleshooting section and check if that helps.

    No sound in Windows

    Step 2:

    If none of the above suggestion can help. You can try to perform the system restore and check if it helps.

  • How can I stop OE 'compress files to free disk space,'

    How can I prevent the notice OE ("compression of files to free up disk space"), constantly arise. I moved the cd, deleted files, shortcuts to files, etc., and I still get this pop up to compress files.  very annoying.   Help

    Have let you compact? Disk space is not recovered until you do. Let compact, you should not see the prompt again for 100 closures of OE. If you see more often, after the return. If not, read this.

    *******************

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact

    About file Corruption:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    Compacting your folders periodically is a must to keep OE works fine and at some point, you may lose all your saved messages if you do not. When you delete or move messages, the space they used remains until you compact.

    Never touch anything until the compression is finished.* *.

    See:
    www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    With SP2, Automatic compaction in the background has been removed because of problems he has caused. Now, you will get a prompt to compact after 100 closures of OE, you need to do, and do not touch anything until it's finished. If you compact manually, at your convenience, this will also set the counter to zero. See this for more information:
    http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

    If you are fully patched, you will now see a copy of your dbx files copied to the Recycle Bin as BAK files. If something goes wrong when compacting, the messages can be easily restored from this backup. A compact manual resets also the counter in the back of the registry to zero now.

    For more information, see the information framed in red here:
    www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    To keep things running smooth and harden faster:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. It will eventually become corrupt and you may lose mail. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    And backup often.
