  My Vista drive is almost full so what do I do now?
  I thought that once the Vista was full disk of data take longer, but no.

  Advice please.

  Hello.

  You can do this:

  1. disk cleanup
  2 turn off the system restore
  3. create a new hard driver small, extracted from your data disc, for swap space. Leave the C drive for the new driver swap space. If you have 2 GB of memory, you can find, it is useful to create a hard drive to third with 4 GB of swap space, or windows will use the drive space it.
  4 format your hard drive and perform a new installation. You don't like it I guess :)

  Good luck.

• SSD disk almost full

  I recently bought a new Dell Vostro 3560, with a 1 TB SERIAL ATA hard drive and a COMPLETE CARD 32 GB SSDR MSATA.

  The 32 GB card is defined as drive C, on which is installed the OS (win7), but also of office.  I took care to install a new program on the D drive, but that is still quite empty, noticed that some programs have created files on the C drive as well (in files of program files). Now, the C drive is nearly full.

  Is it possible to change the partition between C and D and allocate more space memory in C? Or should I completely remove windows and re-install everything on D? What is the right way to use the SSDR card?

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

  I assume that you have installed Windows 7 manually. You should not install Windows 7 on a 32 GB drive its all just too small.

  The 32 GB mSATA reader is designed to be a Cache drive. i.e. Windows must be installed on the primary drive. See Intel reactivity installation Dell technology Guide.

  First you should check the settings of the BIOS - ' system must have the BIOS RAID mode value (in some menus of the system BIOS, this mode can be called Smart Response mode or quick start mode). " "Note: ATA and AHCI modes are not supported.

  SSD Cache drive shouldn't be listed as a reader in option during the installation of Windows and be almost invisible. Then 'System must have Intel® Rapid Storage driver and application installed in the operating system.' See page 6 to 8 of the PDF above for instructions. You'll need to install and configure this application within Windows to start caching.

  Note You may be able to change the player 32 GB for a 128-512 GB a GB mSATA and then it would be wise to install Windows on drive mSATA. I didn't know all the users report with success that they did that again although there are a few threads mention:

• How can I remove an unwanted operating system to free up space on my HARD disk almost full

  The drive is about 75 GB and has two partitions (C: and D readers :). There is a version of Vista on each partition.  My ultimate goal is to reformat the drive as one partition and reload the operating system, but I have found no way of formatting of disks, holding Vista. Help, please.

  Hello 771,

  I don't understand why Windows Disk manager would not allow a partition deletion or reformatting. I use this option during all this time without any problem of "system folders" etc.

  Take a look at these two links to my website and see if they help you:

  http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/format_partition_using_vista_dvd.htm

  http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/delete_a_partition_using_the_vista_dvd.htm

  Otherwise, you should eb able to erase/format the partition by using a part of htird partitioning application as Paragon Hard Disk manager or something similar.

  Paragon do a free Partition Manager (Paragon Partition Manager 11 free), check out the link below.

• Finder said disk almost full... but it's not really complete?

  Hi all

  I have a strange problem that I can't solve, even with all my own research in similar problems.

  Basically:

  1 finder said on 1000 GB on my hard drive, I have 50 or so the rest (950 or so in free use), which shouldn't be the case.

  2. just in case I'm wrong, I ran OmniDiskSweeper and DiskSweeper X to see what files are taking up that space, and the two agree that 560 or GB are used, which means that I should have still about 340 GB left, but it's all be plagued by something mysterious.

  Is there anything else I could do to investigate and solve this problem and reclaim that space? Any help would be appreciated.

  Time Machine has been disabled for years, and remains so, if providing aid.

  Thank you!

• Why is my disk almost full? & Can remove library, containers and app caches are supported files?

  I emptied my system pretty well on an external, put disc to update my computer and I still have the same use of data showing in disk utility.

  with the help of el capitan.

  I don't know where most of the pictures are like he reads 8 GB but they must be scattered in my application note.

  7.88 GB movies must be in my iTunes music videos, 'others' I don't know actually, that's what I put.

  

  looking at my applications folder that adds another 70 GB.

  

  with regard to my LIBRARY.

  connects to 195 MB

  application support 25 GB

  caches/3 GB

  containers 6.65 GB

  I can delete everything in containers, caches and support applications?

  

  

  

  

  Well, it's your Mac, and you can do whatever you want on it, but if you remove all those who come to know that you will remove a large part of your own data, most - if not all - your apps do not work and you will have a good old mess on your hands.

• Can not find why the startup disk is almost full

  I got the message "Boot disk almost full" and began to go through the folders. I did an EEG info on my user folder and it says 240gig, my drive is only 250 gig. But when I go through each subfolder that I can't find anything even close to that of grand. I deleted everything that I don't need but can't find where this huge amount of file space is used.

  Simple answer - don't count on the Finder.

  The Finder hides just pieces of the file system that are not relevant for most users.

  When there is only a big gap between what the OS reports is used (240GB) and what you see in the Finder, is most often due to some errant logging process that fills the system logs, with mostly useless data.

  You can view the logs (and other 'hidden' data) using the Finder go-> go to folder... menu and entering: / var

  You can also use /Applications/Utilities/Console.app to view the logs to see if you can identify what process is at fault.

  hard disk almost full how can I empty it

  Please download the program TreeSizeFree [1] and run it. It shows you which folders use the entire space.

  

  You are able to locate the folder that uses less space? Now, open the folders and look if you need data. If this is not the case, delete them.

• Mac Book Air boot disk is full

  My Mac Book Air continuously shows a message that the boot disk is full.  I checked and I don't have a lot of pictures or files, I use iCloud for almost everything and so I don't know what I should delete to free up space.  Has anyone else had a similar message?

  In case you're not already aware, if you have the Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud drive turned on, everything you add to iCloud reader will have a local copy on your Mac.

  The following may help if it is anything other than iCloud drive:

• I have Windows Vista - I'm a msge saying that the recovery disc (D) is almost full. How can I transer to OS (C) Disk that has plenty of room to the left?

  I have Windows Vista.  I'm a msge saying that the recovery disc (D) is almost full.

  How can I transfer to OS (C) Disk that has plenty of room?    Thank you.

  Hello

  I'm sorry, but you cannot move the D: Partition recovery or its contents; It will not work if you do.

  Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

  1. If you want to reinstall Windows from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

  F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

  You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

  2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

  Also ask them how to make records.

  Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

  There are backups on an external hard drive.

  To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

  See you soon.

• Scratch the full disc - need advice on disks

  Hello

  I have a brand new installation of i5 Intel Core with 8 GB of RAM and a 300 GB HARD drive. Full specifications below:

  • ASUS P7P55D-E Pro
  • Intel Core i5 750
  • 8 GB Corsair Dominator PC12800 1600 MHz DDR3 (more fan)
  • NVIDIA Quadro FX1800 768 MB
  • Corsair TX650 PSU
  • Antec 300 case
  • WD Velociraptor 300 GB
  • Samsung F2380 23 "monitor
  • Wacom Intuos4 graphics tablet

  I use the WD Velociraptor 300 GB, 10 000 RPM drive as a single drive on this computer. There are currently 150 GB free. The reason why I had such fast propulsion was to deal with large files and boost, loading time.

  I get the error "scratch disk is full" when you try to open a .psd file - 4.3 m x 2.4 m, 150 dpi CMYK and is about 173 MB. Also, I noticed that the 150 GB remaining fills.

  So, my questions:

  1. Should I think about getting an extra drive?
     
  2. If so, a reader scratch must be fast or if the disk with the operating system should be faster?
     
  3. I have WD 2 x 500 GB disks that I can transfer to this computer - it would be good in a RAID0 array?
  4. How much space work disk would I need to deal with the bigger files? I have some that are several GB in size, but never had this problem of scratch disk before, even on the previous system, which had only 2 GB of RAM.

  Well, you will need more free space on your hard drive.

  1. call the manufacturer of your computer, ask a set of recovery disks. The entire cost is low and the money is well spent.
  The game allows you to restore your computer. Ask a manul on how to use the recovery discs.

• I have a laptop Lenovo bought in the spring of 2008 running on Vista Home Premium. After years of basically no problem, I got warnings my memory was almost full.

  I have a laptop Lenovo bought in the spring of 2008 running on Vista Home Premium.  After years of basically no problem, I got warnings my memory was almost full.  I'm no computer guy, I'm a retired OTR trucker who now lives for people with disabilities.  I checked my system and found Lenovo had two partitions on the hard drive.  The main logic were my programs were only 30gig on a disk hard 150 gigabytes.

  After talking to some friends who know more then me and research, I copied all my personal files on a stick to 4gig and erased the hard drive.  Spent New Years day adaptation of files, wipe the HD, install Vista again and then 6 and hours of updates.

  Monday, I installed my old files, installed new software and reinstall some of my previous, as well as several updates of Windows.

  Tuesday a finer adjustment and more windows updates.

  Today, Wednesday, right off the bat I installed another Windows update.  Update has been installed, computer shut down, restarted, then the computer stopped at step 1 of 3 @ 97%.  I went for half an hour to come back to an error screen telling me I had a corrupted file and to reinstall Vista and using my factor disc repair system.  I wasn't allowed this option.

  I subsequently through trying different restarts that File:\Windows\system32\winload.exe has been corrupted or damaged or missing Windows update attempt.  Given that I had my Windows disk that I was never worried before making a boot disk.  I/we (family of 6) do not have the financial means to purchase recovery discs, go to a tech help.  We are ourselves.  Can someone help me out here?  Are all my personal details on my laptop, a lot of money and time tied up in programs, I can't access.

  I don't know how this forum works.  My email is * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  P. S.

  With all this, if I have to reinstall windows I better upgrade to a 32-bit on a 64-bit?  This will cause problems with existing programs? I see a noticeable improvement in speed?  I checked and I can't change to 64-bit.

  Hello

  Since you have a Lenovo, you can try to get to WinRE among advanced startup options (f8) and performa than a system restore or if you must organize a drive to install Windows Vista full version and try to perform a system restore in Windows recovery environment and check if that helps.
  For more information, you can consult the following articles:
