96,0 Go used, but can only account for 27.3 GB

Hi all:

I have a new generation with a new installation of Windows 7 Professional.  A single hard drive is a 120 GB SSD with a single partition, set up in the C: drive

My C: drive properties show 96,0 used and 15.6 GB free.  This struck me as way too space in light of what I've done so far on the computer being used.

If I go to the C: drive, display all files and folders, select the folders and right click. Properties, I see the total size of only 27.1 GB.

Ideas where all the other 96, 0-27, 1 GB = 68.9 GB's on my hard drive?

Thank you!

  • I have a 45 GB hard drive which gives a msg of disk is low, but can only account for about 15 GB used. Run Disk Cleanup, but it did not help. I'm looking for why the drive is full?

    There is nothing huge load on the computer.  No photos, no videos and some documents.
    Even displays hidden files and still no explanation.
    Working on SP2... not enough space to install SP3.

    Download and run JDiskReport: http://www.jgoodies.com/freeware/jdiskreport/index.html

    This will show you what files take up space.

    You can run the disk cleanup tool (start > run > cleanmgr > OK), but if you still get low disk space message, I suspect that it's your System Volume Information directory.

    You must "show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" to see this directory, but it isn't something to mess with casually and the system normally will prevent you to do so.

    The IVR directory includes the restore points created by system restore and the database of indexing created if you let Windows index your drive.

    If you have not changed the default, the system restore will take up to 12% of your drive hard or about 5.4 GB of your 45 GB drive.  See http://bertk.mvps.org/html/diskspace.html as fill you the disk, the system restore can produce some of its space, but, in doing so, it will generate these warnings "low disk space".  If you're curious, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300044

    Windows XP provides a feature called the "Indexing Service" which can speed up the file searching in some cases.  As a general rule, speed is not overhead, both in system for indexing resources happens in the database index files that take place in the IVR directory.  See, for example, http://lifehacker.com/#! 031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp

  • I have about 14 000 songs in my library, about 4 copies of each of them. Try to remove duplicates, but can only do one at a time. I spent many hours, check all the files I want to delete only to find out that I can't delete them both?

    I have about 14 000 songs in my iTunes library, but really there are only about a quarter as much because there are so many duplicates. I don't know how they got there in the first place, and try to remove them is infuriating! I have already spent several hours going by checking all the files I want to remove (thinking that I would delete then all files at once) - only to find out that I still have to delete them one at a time. There must be a better way! Help, please.

    If you don't know that you want to delete all checked the songs in your library:

    • Create a new smart playlist with the following rules:

      This will show then checked all the songs in your library.
    • Select all the items in this playlist (Ctrl-A)
    • Hold the SHIFT key and press DELETE - follow the prompts to remove songs from your library and (if necessary) your PC media files

    In case of problem, you must back up your library before you do just in case the results are not what you expect - see tips to the user of turingtest2 on your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy to backup library for a suitable and recommended method.

    There is no 'simple' way to reliably remove duplicates from a library, but see the intelligence in this threadon the use of a scripted for removal of duplicates (for example).

    Long-term, try and avoid adding anything in your iTunes library that already exists in it - that's how arise the duplicates (unlike an opinion apparently dispersed, iTunes not of is duplicate anything in normal operation).  I've seen several comments suggesting here a few users to correctly copy their library from an old computer to a new one and then add the content of its media files - guaranteed way to finish with a copy of database entries or media files.

    You can try to run a disk cleanup to remove unwanted files and check if the problem persists.

    For more information, run Disk Cleanup, see the following link:

  • Connected to the Internet, but can only go in safe mode

    As the title says, I am connected to the internet just fine, but I can't navigate to all websites in 'normal' mode but in safe mode, I can sail very well.  It is not browser specific.  I tried IE8, FireFox, Chrome and Safari.

    I checked and it has not seen any system of proxies.

    I ran the Soloph Anti-Rootkit and it did not find anything.

    I ran Malwarebytes and it did not find anything.

    I tried to disable not only my firewall, but leaving out of it and ensuring that it did not work.

    In normal mode, I can ping and telnet on port 80 very well.  I can ping and telnet names (do a telnet on yahoo.com).  He seems to have no connection problem, but the display of pages on any browser does not work.

    I went into msconfig and disabled everything to ensure that there are no interfering.

    What makes this weird question, is that I am able to navigate properly in safe mode.

    I don't blame Windows itself, but honestly, it started last night, and the only change that's happened to my computer last night, it's that I have installed the new service pack for Windows 7

    I really don't want to reformat, unless I am forced because it is an easy way out and if I do that, and this problem happens again, I will never know what is the right solution.

    I found the answer.  What happened is that after I've cleaned a virus, something messed up so that my anti-virus and firewall would not start, but the windows for them would be.  When I want to turn them back on, I wouldn't be able to navigate.  Stopping the services and then allowing the firewall and antivirus to start the services themselves, everything is back

  • Version approved but can't post for sale

    I have sent several messages to the provider to support, but have yet to receive an answer.
    Version 2.0 of "Dual Cam Photo" my application has been approved, but I don't see a link to "post for sale.
    I had a previous version that was not approved, and the only link I see in managing products is 'Send for review' which I think is related to the CPL(a) version.

    Please help me solve this problem and after the app for sale as soon as POSSIBLE.

    I don't like on the previous version (1.8) and it would be great if that could be removed, but the main issue I'm trying to solve is to display the approved Release 2.0 for sale. It is a free application... I want people just to be able to download and use!

    I managed to solve the problem after guess what needs to be done by reading other posts with similar questions, so here's a quick summary of how to fix things if you are in the same situation:
    -I have re-released the preliminary version (the version that was not approved)
    -I looked into "Change request tickets" for the new note that was created for re-presentation.
    -I added a note (copy - paste this same post explaining my problem)

    Within an hour, my new application was rejected again, and my trusted application was "posted for sale!

  • How to use USB CAN 8473, code for the basic example

    Hi all.

    I use NEITHER USB-8473 CAN transmit and receive data via CAN.

    I have traveled a lot a lot of pages related to this and realized that the API will not work for USB - CAN. Can someone tell me please how to use this USB-8473.

    Maybe an exaple program would help me. (It is not PCI it we USB,)

    Thank you.

    You will need to install NI-CAN, if you don't have already done.  This is the API that you can use with a 8473.  After installing, open Explorer Measurement & Automation and make sure that you can see the 8473 under your devices.

    Here is a sample VI (LabVIEW 2009) that I wrote for another developer to make the CAN communication basic tests.  You enter a package CAN as a series of hexadecimal bytes separated by spaces, and it will send it to you.  It displays every CAN packet it receives in the same format.

  • I use my windows live mail and password and now I don't remember the password I used someone can help

    I have a Dell Inspiron 3542 and there a lock screen and I use my windows live email and password, and now I don't remember the password I used someone can help? For now, I use my Dell Inspiron 1545 to my back upwards

    If the computer is on an Internet connection, you can reset the password on the Windows Password Reset site.  If the PC is not online right now if that won't work because it doesn't 'knows' the new password.

    If there is another user account on the computer that has admin access, you can use it to reset your own password from the control panel.

    If there is no other user accounts, there are a built-in backup Administrator account, but for security reasons, you can only get to Safe Mode.

    I wrote a blog where I explain how to make each of these options: http://cmdrkeene.com/reset-forgotten-windows-password

    Can move you to a new Windows 7 computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time (and if it's a Windows 7 Upgrade version the new computer must have its own qualification license XP/Vista/7). The previous installation of Windows 7 on the old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer. The key works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.
