Ability of the OS disk

For some reason any as a free OS disk space has reduced about 375 GB down to a few KB. Can someone tell what could cause this please?

Hello

1. what version of Windows operating system do you use?

2 has there been any changes made on the computer before the show?

To determine the available disk space will vary depending on the operating system that is currently used.

There are a few cases where disk space can increase:

(1) If Windows install the latest updates.

(2) update the antivirus program third-party link software.

(3) if the files or data stored on the computer.

(4) if there is a virus on the computer.

If had the same problem, I tried the methods provided to fix.

Method 1: Delete files using disk cleanup

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

Method 2: Run a full scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

See this link:

http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

Method 3: Check your hard disk for errors

Refer to this link:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

WARNING CHKDSK:

Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

Hope this helps; Please get back to us with the results.

  • O/s do not recognize the new disk capacities

    I upgraded my gateway laptop hard drive of the M series to a larger disk. I got the new drive image so everything, including OS vista family premium is now on the new drive. Everything works fine, but the new capacity of the new drive does not appear in 'my computer '. The new drive and ability is recognized by the BIOS but it is not recognized in disk management and as I said in my computer. So, I have no access to the entire disk. I upgraded from 160 GB to 750 GB.

  • I can't install the second disk sata hard

    I have a problem when install the second disk sata hard
    I bought a new one 500 GB and I installed windows xp sp3
    and it works well I plugged in SATA 0 port
    When I want to install a second sata hard disk 320 on sata 1
    and it has an important data, windows will reboot, and do
    blue screen sometimes 'NTFS.sys"or"SCSIPORT.sys.
    and it is written "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".
    If someone help me what should I do or there is no FIX for this problem.

    in the BIOS I have regcognized both hard drivers:
    IDE pri master 500 GB
    PRI IDE slave 320
    Second master IDE-
    Second slave IDE-
    PORT SATA - 0
    SATA 1 - PORT

    I plugged the IDE 2 cd-rom

    ----------
    Specification of the device:
    Windows xp sp3
    card mother gigabyte 848P
    Intel ICH5
    Intel 8I848p775-g
    Celeron D Socket 775

    You said that the hard drives are sata but your bios recognizes them as IDE depending on your position. You might have to set your bios to operate in sata mode or enable AHCI of have recognized them as sata. Regarding the error you get, look in the system BIOS to boot from hard disk command menu. This is different from the command menu of usual starting where you choose each time you start a cd ROM or hard drive ect... The parameter that I refer to determine which hard drive of your computer starts on the first. Change to the primary master 500 GB disk > save your settings and restart your computer. Even if one is defined as main and the other slave is not serious. Some bios have the ability to choose what hard drive to boot from. In other words, it is adjustable to start first on the slave drive.

  • HP Pavilion g6: after having improved 8.1 to windows 10, which is on the recovery disk?

    I'm new to the forum, I hope I posted in the right place.

    After having improved 8.1 to 10, which is on the windows recovery disk? If this isn't windows 10 what should I do to create a new recovery disk? or should I remove it?

    I have a USB recovery for windows 8.1 if I should need it.

    I have created a disk to repair windows 10 and have a system image on an external hard drive.

    I didn't beleave I need in fact the disk recovery that I have a backup option, but I would be nice to have the ability to recover from training. I understand the backup option that I have will allow me to get back if I lose the reader.

    Please notify

    Thank you in advance.

    After having waited 22 days for a reply on the forum, I finally rang HP support.

    The answer is that the recovery disk is windows 8. It has not been updated by windows 8.1 or 10.

    Very, very disappointed that I couldn't have it on the forum.

    Have posted that someone may have the same question.

  • How can I get the recovery disks for my recycled box computer-recycler, I bought?

    I bought a computer from a computer recycler. It came with some kind of special windows 7 OEM / I don't know something about it.

    I have a valid product key.  I don't know what kind of windows 7 it is except that it is 64-bit.

    but without recovery disks. they have no burn / give me everything. and no software has been provided for me to burn everything.

    Windows should be re-installed every 1-2 years because of the alteration of the silent drive.

    So I'm up a Creek without a paddle.

    Help.

    I didn't have to spend an extra $200 on a 8.1 windows

    What can I do? It is authentic.

    I have a windows 8 pro upgrade, but in my experience, it is very buggy and hard to use.

    I just want the right type of physical drive to get him out I can reinstall. Thank you. my choice would have been a boxed product.

    What is the cost of the drive box / and what is the URL to pay for it?

    If the computer has been legitimately loaded the system was probably loaded with Windows 7 offered by restorative authorized Microsoft program.

    If this is the case it is NOT the same as an OEM license, so all references to OEM can be ignored.

    It is extremely likely that the disk has been erased in together and although she had the recovery image Dimension 520 (DM061) would never have Windows 7. Refurbishers should ensure that old data from the original owner has been removed and the best way to make this guarantee is to wipe the drive.

    MAR labels are normally not brown not blue/green of normal Windows COA labels. Microsoft requires that all systems sold with Windows MUST have supplied brackets or the ability for the end user to create his own. Like most of March did not have the means to install the utilities of creating media they should provide some of the disc without X 17-03434-02 (32 bit) X 17-03482-02 (64-bit) for 7 Pro. When a license of MAR is applied the repairer may do so only to a system that has a license for Windows (from XP) and this COST should remain so you should find two COA labels.

  • Could not load the virtual disk manager

    I am operating Windows 7 SP1. At one point, I lost the ability to use the virtual disk manager. I've scoured the web and many forums to find answers and none worked. I tried to repair windows, run sfc/scannow, etc stopping before you reinstall windows, which some people have suggested that I have many software loaded and am not sure that this will not happen again once I loaded the software again.

    It is a "backdoor" way to force launch disk management? My need is to change disks on some of the hardware devices, such as DVD players and card readers.

    Would appreciate any advice or suggestions... Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply.

    Glad to know that you were able to solve the problem. Your efforts to solve this problem is appreciated. Feel free to post your request here on the Forums of Windows, we would be happy to help you.

  • Replacement of the VSAN disks to upgrade capacity VSAN

    Hello

    Host with 1 flash, 5 magnetic disks all handsets in VSAN and the host has no more space for additional drives. Is the supported way to improve ability: remove the disc from lower capacity from the diskgroup, evacuate data, replace them with higher-capacity drive, wait for the magic, replace the next smaller capacity disk, etc., etc.?

    When I insert the higher capacity drive and add it to the Group of disks, is there a process I need to manually trigger to release data on the new disk?

    How can I track the progress of the evacuation of the data on a disc? And how can I track the spread of the data to the new drive?

    Gabrié

    Hello, I think that you have the correct process.  Remove the disk from the web client, physically, remove the disc, insert the new drive.  VSAN is assigned to records of claim self, that should be it.  If you do not have to manually add claim the drive.  As you noted, waiting for data to be moved each time before moving.

    If you have vSAN 6, you can run a proactive rebalancing to redistribute the data.  http://cormachogan.com/2015/04/22/VSAN-6-0-part-9-proactive-re-balance/

  • Capacity of the hard disk for NX9030

    Hello

    I have a laptop HP Compaq NX9030. The hard disk starts to show errors so I intend to replace it. Does anyone know if the laptop has a limited capacity for replacement hard drives?

    Thank you

    Dave

    You have the Intel 855 chipset. In order to launch a hard drive larger than 137 GB, you need help for 48-bit Large Block Addressing in the chipset, BIOS and operating system. I find contradictory information on the ability of the chipset 855 doing of 48bits LBA. I also wonder if ever taken HP worth of produce a BIOS that would make 48 bit LBA in this model being the biggest hard drive offered 60 gigs. In other words, I think you should assume 120 GB is size max hard drive you can use and the only way I can think to prove otherwise is to buy the largest disk and install it. Windows XP Sp1a and superior does not large drives.

  • Pavillion Dv4-1225dx do not fully recognize the capacity of the hard disk

    Recently I replaced the OEM hitachi hard drive (SATA 250 GB at 5400 RPM) in my Dv4-1225dx.

Is there a BIOS setting that is to limit the ability of the systems to recognize more than 300 GB drives? If there is, I'm not, the Bios (BIOS latest worm d.55) hid all the settings that I'm used to seeing on other laptops. If anyone has had this problem, or have any ideas of what I should look at?

    The missing space is called disk overhead. I'll show you and example. The image is that of a STAT 500 GB drive. In fact only 465 GB is used.  The calculation is simple. Please keep in mind that a kilobyte is actually 1024octets.

  • How to get the maximum disk size for a powershell prompt

    Hi guys

    I tried all day to get the value of the maximum disk size allocated to a virtual machine. Using get - view I can see the actual size of disc but when I look at VM via 'Edit Machine' I see ' hard disk 1' ability to 40 GB and and size maximum (GB) to 97.5 - How do I get this maximum size via powershell?

    See you soon

    Sparky

    Near there, it is actually the amount of free space on the data store over the current size of the hard drive.

    With this script, you can calculate the value

    foreach($dev in (Get-VM  | Get-View).Config.Hardware.Device){
      if($dev.DeviceInfo.Label -like "Hard Disk*"){
        $dsFree = (Get-Datastore (Get-View -Id $dev.Backing.Datastore).Info.Name).FreeSpaceMB
         $diskSize = ($dev.CapacityInKB / 1Kb)
         $MaxSize = $dsFree + $diskSize
         Write-Host "Maximum size for" $dev.DeviceInfo.Label "=" ("{0:f2}" -f (($dsFree + $disksize)/ 1Kb)) "Gb"
      }
    }
    
  • Reconfigure the virtual disk using OpenManage of RAID 0, RAID-5

    I apologize for the spacing.  I'm having a little wrong with this forum edit my post.

    My small business has had a T610 run for a few years with the following configuration:

    T610 Server

    PERC 6 / i controller

    4 physical disk 1 TB

    Virtual disk 0 size 1 800 GB RAID - 5

    Size of the virtual disk 1 992 GB RAID - 5

    Virtual Disk 1 was running Exchange and everything else on VD 0.

    Last weekend, I had a breakdown of table flat due to the failure of a damaged drive on Windows SBS 2008, who couldn't recover. When I contacted support Pro and got a new drive, I was told not to recreate the same virtual drives and use one.

    The local tech and I have been quite underlined and used the Perc 6 / I BIOS to recreate the exact configuration. Then, we had to use Backup Exec 2010 to restore the data. Somehow, we have selected by mistake instead of RAID 5 RAID-0 on recreation of the two virtual disks.

    So now, I have the following configuration in OpenManage:

    Virtual disk 0 size 1 800 GB RAID - 0

    Size of the virtual disk 1 992 GB RAID - 0

    I called Dell and gave instructions in OpenManage on how to reconfigure a virtual disk by adding a physical drive and conversion to RAID-5. My problem is reconfigure is not an option in the dropdown menu, I am told, because I have two virtual disks that have stripes.

    I have the ability to drive to go to 1 single virtual disk, given only Exchange is on the second and I can move, then unmold Virtual Disk 1. So my plan is:

    Full backup tape.

    Move Exchange off the drive sitting in virtual disk 1 to disk on virtual disk 0.

    Remove the virtual disk 1.

    Add a 5th physical HD.

    I hope at this point OpenManage will then give me the option in the drop-down list to reconfigure Virtual Disk 0.

    The option to Reconfigure in OpenManage will appear after that he sees only 1 virtual disk?

    Hello

    KRoy66
    The option to Reconfigure in OpenManage will appear after that he sees only 1 virtual disk?

    Yes, the ability to reconfigure should be available as soon as you remove the second table off readers. Technicians are you talked with correct you cannot reconfigure a table in slices.

    I know that you went through the entire process of relocation and restoration of backup, but it is preferable that do you it again. Let me explain why your table has been configured in this way, and why you may need to reinstall again.

    There are limits on the partition. To create a partition more of 2 TB, it must be TPG. In order to boot the system from a partition GPT Board must be set to UEFI mode. The problem you will encounter when trying to create a large RAID 5 is that you will not be able to use more than 2 TB of it. You create a new table in slices to use the extra space.

    If the system card is already set to UEFI mode then you should be able to convert the GPT partition and expand to necessary to hold account space. If you have installed the operating system with the system of administration established on the MBR can change in UEFI and conversion of GPT likely to cause BONE to be unstable if you are able to boot on it at all.

    I think you need to save yourself a lot of hassle and do this upgraded correctly. I know it will be a lot more time to restart, but you should set the UEFI boot mode, remove the two RAID 0, create the new large RAID 5, reinstall the OS and then restore the backup.

    Do it right now probably will save you a lot of time.

    Thank you
