  Download and run JDiskReport.

  There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a larger hard drive.

  • 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)
  • You can remove most of the $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx files $ following the directions here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm (read the warnings in the gray box first)

  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 to delete or uninstall applications.

• I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive

  I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive because the drop-down list in the Disk Management Console does not give me this option. I'm logged in as an administrator and running Windows XP.  The driver for the new hardware is not digitally signed because I can't initialize the disk.  So I can't get my new hardware to run.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the option "Initialize disk" in the Disk Management Console?

  Hello Honduras1,

  Can you simply right-click and format everything first?  The drive must be formatted before use, make sure that you format NTFS.

  See you soon

  Hi Sasha,.

  I saw this question in a few places. I always look at what is the cause and I try to grab a Wireshark dump during execution of the agent pre-upgrade check tool.

  From what I see, there are two files being pushed down to/tmp/vmware-root/ha-agentmgr, but their content does not seem to be correct.

  Yep, FB3_Win is the standalone version, and the other is the plugin for Eclipse (in case you have Eclipse already installed for Java development or something).

• Windows XP - align the disks for VDI

  Hello

  If someone actually managed to succeed this procedure following the VMware guide to http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx3_partition_align.pdf?

  My experience is this:

  • If you create a new vdisk of a Windows XP VM and follow the guide using diskpart.exe, the version provided with Windows XP does not support the attribute align = 64 argument i.e. create primary align partition = 64.  You cannot copy a later version on XP you will get the message incompatible version.
    
  • Creating a new vdisk of a VM in Windows 7 and with the help of dispart.exe included with Windows 7 don't seem to work.  The disc is released in the MBR and diskpart creates a partition aligned to 64. The next steps are to format the drive with 32 k allocation units which also works.  I have then create my new machine virtual Windows XP, set this new vdisk as my system disk and start build of Windows using the attached driver and controller LSI logic.  Everything seems to work, Windows installs to the hard drive, but after the first reboot I get 'disk read error.  I have proven that it is something to do with what the partition Win7 as if I reformat the partition during the installation, it works.  Also if I create a vdisk std of Win7 with no alignment stuff and that attach to my new VM WinXP, it works too.
    
  • Finally using the old tool diskpar.exe seems also to align the disc but the CD of Windows XP can not actually see the installation disc.
    

  So after trying all these different options, I still couldn't line up my Windows XP system partition before installing Windows.

  Someone has an idea what I am doing wrong?

  Ta!

  Hello.

  I guess that's why the 'recommendations for aligning VMFS Partitions' document also States "Note: align the startup disk in the virtual machine is neither recommended nor necessary." "Align the than the data in the virtual machine disks".

  It's a bit of a pain.  That being said, in the past, I used the procedure detailed in http://blog.core-it.com.au/?p=281 successfully.

  Good luck!

• What is the maximum capacity of the disk for Portege M700?

  Does anyone know what is the maximum capacity of disk for Portege M700?

  Thanks for the reply

  As I m wrong not the Portege M700 does support a SATA HDD.
  In this case we must avoid any limitation of the size of the HARD disk
  Usually, you can use almost all SATA 2.5 hard drives in you M700.

• Lost the disk for Satellite M115

  Does anyone know if Toshiba M115 came with a driver and OS disk when it was purchased?
  I need to restore my drivers and I can't find the disk and I don't remember having ever one.

  If I haven't lost it, does anyone know if Toshiba never sells additional disks and for how long?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The M115 Sat seems to belong to the series of the Toshiba laptop we.
  I m not very well, but I think the recovery disk came with the laptop.
  Only a few new models of laptops are delivered without the recovery disk because these laptops supports a recovery option of HARD drive and in such cases, it is possible to create a recovery DVD own s.

  You should be able to order the recovery of the ASP disk in your country.
  But if this drive is no longer available, then you might try reinstalling the operating system using the Windows XP CD own. The drivers of Toshiba and tools are released on the Toshiba driver page we.

• Where can I get the disk for Qosmio G40 caddy?

  I know G40-10 has installed 1 drive and there's room for another.

  The installed drive has a disc around her caddy, is that required for the other drive? If so, anyone knows where to get one (the United Kingdom).

  Thank you

  Andy

  Hmm all parts can be ordered from the ASP in your country.
  I m not sure if it s a 2.5 just caddy or if you only a special part designed for Qosmio G40.

  However, the authorized service provider can order this part of warehouse head of Toshiba.

  Recommend a short call.

• Bootvis. Optimizer my boot files, xp home pc ed didn't get fucked on the disk for the faster system boot

  Can HI: Someone help me. I downloaded bootvis. twice on my pc; think the first download may not be fully complete etc, but I am facing the same problem. After running the program, my pc revealed part perfectly fine graphics that is the part of the track, but when, after the reboot, I click on trace and select optimize system for faster boot times etc, the faded window displays, saying: it performs the optimization, but it should be another window reappear after the first whose content is supposed to be readable, this 2nd window never comes to the top, even after waiting for 2 hours and no signal from the program he's finished optimization etc.. My pc seems to be idle all the time. (like I see on the screen of the Task Manager, tab)  What can I do to correct the situation?

  My 2nd problem is that my system starts almost near quickly enough for me to sign, but after the signing, it takes a while 2-3 minutes for it to load all programs, so that it can show desktop ICONs, for me to be able to use the pc.  It's pretty frustrating for me.  Can someone help me please what to do to speed up this piece too.
  NM

  Well Boot_Vis utility is a "start value" program only, share charts, her will not

  be involved... Open the utility, all boxes should be checked unless the "use of the disk,"

  go to the tab "trace", select "optimize system", the pc automatically reboots. Back to xp, just leave

  alone and wait for the utility to start up on its own...

  Also, microsoft has dropped the utility soon after xp was public, the utility probably

  problems due to the... In regards to starting, try the recovery console, type: FixBoot approved, type:

  CHKDSK C: /p after his execution, type: EXIT

  This should fix startup problems.

• Lost the disk for Installation of Windows Vista - can I use my friends with my product key?

  I am running Windows Vista on my computer at home, but I had this for a few years, and he began to have very slow, so I decided to completely erase the hard drive, now I know how to do this, but I need to re - install the OS when I'm done, but I've lost my Windows Vista installation CD , even though I still have my code/product key - it would be OK to use my drive of Windows Vista to friends with my product code?

  I tried this article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/326246and he do not seem to answer my question - I'm trying to replace my copy, I just want to know if it is OK to use my friends?

  Yes.

  As long as it's a DVD from Microsoft and not a computer Manufacturer'e Recovery DVD.

  Read the information below.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
