• Hard drive fills up fast

  Original title: Decreases the memory:

  I have xt pro on my cmp - very little, other than IE8, Word, Excel. Nothing great. Be "topped up" several times with disc 'restore' since the performance was slowing down. Gradually, the HARD drive fills up: after the last reading memory 30 GB charging used; 10 GB free. I think that xp is only about 1 GB - what am I doing wrong?

  Thanks for all the suggestions. Tried and thought about them, but made no difference. However, I found the answer:

  When you use the disc to 'restore' every time I was simply stack several operating systems on top of those already here. I have about a dozen versions or more I suspect No. 1 partition. This time, where do my last (I hope) restore today I paid more attention to writing when the options are available on the "formatting" the drive. Now, I completely formatted the Partition No. 1 (where I suspect that all versions of xp are kept) and pressed. Of course, the restoration has worked well and I now only ONE version of XP on my system. The display of 'properties' on the drive C: tells me now that I have less than 2 GB used and 28 GB FREE!

  Result?

  Thanks again for the suggestions - that made me think a little more deeply...

• c drive fills up. has wanted to clean

  Hello

  I've used virtual vmware and oracle machine on my host OS (windows 7).

  I have three drives

  (1) C (operating system)

  (2) newvolume(E:))

  (3) microsoft2010 click auto run protected.

  whenever I created a new image I'm pointing to E: drive and make a separate folder.

  I noticed that whenever I create a new image of my c: drive------fills with space. It's presence that he should use some of the operating system files.

  When I remove the machine image (workstation > > VM > > remove disc) my E: drive where the image has been stored deleted which is expected and fine. I see clearly that much space is available.

  but I have problem with my C: drive which seems to be not to give up the space that he used in this process. I didn't take any snapshots. My snapshot location also stressed the E drive.

  someone comes through this. I'm soon fill all the space in my c drive.

  Thank you

  You can delete a temporary file like that...

  Go to run as a type folder and run it then delete all temp file.

• hard drive fill by itself

  I just bought a hp a6750f with 750 GB HDD 8 GB memory, quad processor works great, but it fills slowly with stuff 2 or 3 concerts a day, I think it's to get it online, CV Tech took control and just delete the temporary files, that is not the problem... I restored to factory settings and now 3 weeks later there are 120 exhausted concerts... I have nothing except a printer on this computer whence all this?  Help, please...

  Probably that Vista in system restore, is set to use a very high % of hard drive space. Most users to be able to limit it manually.

• My hard drive filled

  My hard drive is full but not because I downloaded large files, and I can't identify it as waste is that fills the disk. How can I clear the space?

  You will see in my previous two answers that everything seems fine, except that I have no idea how the issues have been brought to rights.

  I had run Defragmenter a few days ago, but it made no difference. I was about to follow your advice about system restore etc when I discovered that it was apparently useless.

  My only concern is now that, as I have no idea why the problem arose, I also have no idea how to do to stop this happening again!

  Nevertheless, thank you very much for the advice very detailed.

• How can I make a pdf to fill my clients can open w / drive, fill out and return?

  I created a form with Acrobat X to send to my clients so that they can fill it out and send it back.  But when it is opened in the reader, there is a statement at the top of the page that says: Please fill out the following form.  You cannont EVS data entered in the form. Please print your form if you would like a copy for your records.

  So my question is this - a PDF can be filled out and emailed back?

• Image D Drive filling factory

  I have a desktop Presario with Windows 7 pre-installed (bought in September 2010).  Drive C has 258 GB free of 288 GB and 1.16 GB free of 9.91 GB drive D (original image).  I checked the drive D and no file downloads went him.  I tried the telphone support but nobody seems to know what is happening.  As drive D decreases in size every day (when it's not supposed to) I was hoping that someone could explain to me what is happening and how I can solve this problem.

• Hard drive fills up very fast Max to 109GiG. I'm running out of space. What is take up space?

  I have a small hard drive 109Gig and there are very few programs that run on it. When I try to search for large file sizes I found in users and windows. Further research in these files does not reveal what is content. Where can I search in an attempt to reduce the space used or should I buy another hard drive? The system was backing for a long time, but recently, I have disabled back upward. I used restore a few months ago. Windows take the 22.7 Gig and users take 11Gig?

  Thank you Ken

  I think you're right for the size of the disk. It is just too small by today's standards. Fortunately, I have another hard drive which is a direct copy of the computer as a back up. I hope that I can copy my files to a larger drive and solve the problem.

  Paul.

• System Restore fills hard drive

  I used Windows XP Home Edition for years, with no problems.  However, in recent weeks, I noticed my hard drive filling up at a rate of almost 1 G new data per day.  I didn't add all the new programs, so I suspected a Virus or a Trojan.  I use Avast Anti-virus and keep SpyBot and SpywareBlaster running and updated.  I ran full scans with these programs and found no problem.  I even downloaded a copy of AVG anti-virus and done a scan with it problems... No..  Then, I came across a program called 'TreeSize' who did a real good job to tell me what's really on the hard drive.  BIINGO!  It seems that my system restore file increases by nearly 1 G per day.  I had about 2 months, control in the system restore points, so I changed the settings about 25 g and lost most of my restore points... AND, my hard disk capacity has increased almost 20 g.

  Windows has changed something in the month last about restoring the operating system?  I've never seen this phenomenon until just last month.  Now that I know what is eating my hard disk space, I can recover easily, but I think something has changed recently to cause this.  The ONLY thing I added to my files in the month were updates of Windows.

  Even after many years, I have only about 20 G on my hard drive, so it was unusual when I started to see the volume of data up to 40 G.  This just started about 3 or 4 weeks... and I did not install new programs.

  Now that I put the restore settings to 25G, I saw no repetition of this 'growth' in the past 2 or 3 days... so time will tell if this fixed my "whim".

  As I said, you must set SR to 1 GB... No 25 GB.

  I guess the sentence I have in bold above means that you have a separate partition for your data.  You don't need restore the system monitor this partition (disc) at all.  Retrieves a few pieces of Bert K site linked in my previous post (emphasis added):

  • System Restore monitors changes to the system and saves the State of the system as a restore point.
  • System Restore does not restore user data or documents, so it will not cause users to lose their files, email, browsing history or Favorites.
  • System Restore monitors and restores a set of file system and application, the States of these files before the change of the archiving system. System Restore also records a snapshot of the registry (Note: some current registry values will persist) and some dynamic system files.
  • Files that are monitored or excluded from the monitoring are specified in the file % windir%\system32\restore\Filelist.xml.
  • To restore a system, System Restore undoes file changes made to the files monitored, taking over the State of the file at a time of the restore point selected. It replaces the current registry with one registered for the selected restore point.

  If indeed you watched a "data disc" and it was the system restore on this drive that increased, it seems that if one of the applications, which stores the data on this disk does not respect the following recommendations:

  • To make sure that your application has the behavior desired after a restore, follow these steps:
    • Be sure to use the extensions compatible with those used in the Filelist.xml file binary application key to protect. For more information, see Monitoring of file Extensions.
    • Do not use controlled types of extensions for files modified by the user. For example, if you name the file of personal data of a user using the .ini extension, the user may lose work because of a system restore.

• Rash, the problems of computer control: use of 100% of the CPU, hard drive is filled Up, & drivers Drop Off - what happens?

  My computer keep meeting the same types of problems faced by systems of many other people. My CPU goes to 100% use when I'm streaming a video. No matter if I use the Flash or HTML 5 player, the problem persists, my hard drive fills up, and now my Intel (r) 82801 PCI Bridge - 2448 driver is down, what happens?  I come on this forum and find others looking for answers to problems of the same nature. I don't know any of these people, but we are the same kind of problems. The only link I know that we have is 'Internet '. I don't know if it's a virus or some other bad online. Anyone with computer knowledge can see another link that can be the cause of these problems? It would be a good start to solve these problems. Obviously, something is happening or something happening around these problems.  Tips on how to find a common point or a fix would be much appreciated.

• iCloud Drive and confusion of local storage

  I'm quite confused on iCloud drive works. I had assumed that it could be used like any other option storage file, for example a connected locally external hard drive. But apparently not exactly. Here is my request:

  I have a huge (hundreds of gigabytes) Aperture library. Since it is much larger than the storage available on the SSD in my Macbook Pro, I have it on a classic 1.5 TB external harddrive. But I want to save the library to a cloud off-site storage site so that if my house burns down, accidents of HD or someone steals, I have not lost anything. But as I copy files from my drive hard external to iCloud my internal SSD drive fills up completely and the backup finishes. It's a mystery to my as to why iCloud drive isn't teated by OS X like any other volume "attached" to which I can copy or download local files.

  My first question, then, is it really how it is supposed to work? If so, my second question is: can someone explain the logic behind this behavior? My last question is: is there some way that I can install iCloud drive on both , my external hard drive and my drive internal, but both have the same account iCloud?

  Thanks in advance for all advice and counsel.

  iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external storage system. If you delete them from the computer/device they will be deleted to iCloud. The files are stored locally on your hard drive that you have discovered.

  I can't explain the logic, but this is how it works.

  Send feedback to Apple. They will not respond, but at least know that there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it can become the problem solved as soon as possible.

• How to set up the second hard drive

  My Mac Pro has two, the hard drives of 1 TB.  I had originally planned on the use of the second hard drive for Time Machine.  However, instead of using Time Machine, I now save by cloning my first hard drive to an external hard drive using Carbon Copy Cloner.  I did not use Time Machine in a year and do not expect that I have to use more.

  My first hard drive fills up-I have about 150 GB unused on it, and with video editing I'm is squeezed.  What is the best way to configure my system so that I can use my second, now sleeping, hard drive? Is it possible of them gang up together so that my system will behave as if there is a 2 TB HDD?

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes. It is called RAID.

• Increase the C: drive and reduce the E: drive decrease?

  Hi all

  My c: drive------fills constantly which is causing the overall performance of my laptop to be very bad. It is very slow! I don't have a lot of files etc on my C: drive, but it still keeps filling in shortly after a cleanup and defragmentation. My E: drive is constantly empty and I want to be able to use this space on my C: drive.

  I don't want to move the files to the E: drive 'free' space on C: because I don't have a lot of files on C: to move.

  Can I change the volumes of each drive to increase the capacity of C: and diminish the ability of e: or can I remove E: and give all the space on C:

  Any help would be appreciated?

  Thank you
  Colin

  Hello Colin

  In General, you can do what you want and all this can be done in computer management > disk management.
  I don't know what model of laptop you have, but for laptops with HARD drive recovery image, it is not recommended to change the partition structure because it can have a negative influence on the HDD recovery procedure. If you have ever portable model and you created the recovery DVDs then you can do this. For the installation of the OS, you can use recovery disk installation only.

  Back to your question.
  In my opinion there is no great sense to change this structure of score because you can use the free space on the second partition for your daily activities. I don't know what you're doing exactly, but all your data like mp3s, pictures, movies, office stuff, and anything else can be saved on the second partition.
  You can also set the second partition as the target of download and all files you download will be saved there.

  Your sentence is a little strange to me.
  > You wrote
  > I do not want to move the files to the E: drive 'free' space on C: because I don't have a lot of files on C: to move.
  So I wonder what you do to fill the C partition, but there is nothing to move. Can you please explain it to me?

• Re: Equium A200-1V0: hard drives

  Can someone tell me if there is a simple way to "bind" the two hard drives so that when the "C" drive fills up the brain of the laptop starts automatically data dumping in the drive "E"?

  In my opinion these things (if possible) should be controlled by software and operating system itself.
  So it's the right question for Microsoft and I don't think that the laptop manufacturers have something to do with it.

  Have you tried to find something on the forums Microsoft OS?
