• Find unused space on the hard drive of the Satellite A40.

  This space is about 7 GB, and seems to be unused.
  Can I create a partion second on this space or perhaps used by special services of Windows XP Home edition?

  (found this space after the installation of third-party backup/restore program)

  Hello

  Well, if you have a free space on the HARD drive if you want, you can create a two or three partitions. New partitions can have different sizes. In this case, I propose to use the magic of Partitions. This tool is very nice and easy to use and has many useful features.
  Try it.

  Good bye

• I can never make a lot of space in my hard drive after back to the top

  I regularly save on a hard disk that is attached to Lightroom.  What I've noticed, is the amount of space that I have left is still declining.  After the backup, I used to have over 200 GB of the available MBP 768 GB retina, now, I rarely more than 100 GB.  At some point I'll have no space left at all.  I don't know that I'm doing things correctly.  I noticed that there are duplicate files when I export the. DNG my 645Z or. My A7RII ARW.  So I file raw in LR, the ARW and the .xmp that have been exported (I still name them).  My habit of the end to create more space on my hard drive is to find the .dng and .arw files in the finder, back up to an external hard drive and then remove them from my MBP.  I do not touch other files not named.  What I find good is that even with the hard drive attached, some files are displayed as missing picture.  I can remedy this with a cover of Time Machine, I did a time machine to the top until I backed up (something I always do) images in lightroom.

  Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?  What is the best way to ensure that I have a lot of space?  I can't just buy new laptops all the time when I run out of space.  I save most of my images finished PSCC at the highest quality jpg, so the finished images that are not take total amount of space, but these are not archived on LR that I prefer to use the tag system which uses Mac.

  The best approach I've found is always import as of the segregation of records to your home. Make sure that these are backed up by time machine or another mechanism for backup and then if you are not actively using the images in a dated file more copy set in an external hard drive where you keep the same year and the date structure separated. Then in Lightroom, it is a simple case of right (or control), click the folder that you moved in the sidebar of library and select "update folder location" and that it points to the new location of the folder on the external drive. All your images must be accessible as long as external is attached. Now you can remove the folder from your internal hard drive and find space (don't forget to empty the trash).

  My main machine is a retina with a 256 GB drive and I easily maintain a 100 of 1000 image catalog Lightroom on it in addition to Photoshop and many other CC software I use (first for most). Most of my images and video life on a large RAID array, but my most recent images months living inside. Easily, you should be able to work with a 768 GB internal. You delete old backups of catalog in Lightroom? By default, Lightroom creates backups of the catalogues that makes every week or so next to the file catalog in a folder "Backups". You don't need to keep a large number of these backups autour. I usually keep only 2 or 3.

• Satellite L300D - TEMPRO said that I have no space on the HARD drive

  Hello

  I'm new to the site... I got a L300D for three months and no problem but in the last two weeks, I had TEMPRO warns my readers have free space that disappears quickly.

  In fact at this moment I have a total of * 800Mbs * when in fact I more than * 90Gbs * and I even used a shedder file to clean up more space.
  Is there a way to get TEMPRO on track or is this a normal problem, unsolveable.

  Hey Buddy

  TEMPRO is a tool that scans the entire HARD drive
  I guess you have different partitions on the HARD drive and I guess Tempro tells you that the free space among available partitions_ _on breaks down

  Well, I'm not quite sure what partition is a sense but perhaps hidden partition Vista first, s (WinRE).
  You should know that Vista uses a hidden backup files partition, this partition can be used if something goes wrong with the operating system

  I think Tempro means that partition

• How to free space on the hard drive recovery disk?

  My J: drive (recovery) is near capacity after a reinstall of Windows 7. How to clear space on this drive?

  Hi John R H,
   
  The purpose of the training of recovery is to store all the files needed to do disaster recovery, when the system becomes unstable. The recovery disk is actually a partition on the hard drive of your computer - not a real physical disk. There is much less space than other drives. If you use the recovery disk to store files (such as backup files), the reader is full quickly and can cause serious problems when you need to use the system recovery.
  Note: Do not store files on the recovery drive. The only files on the recovery disk should be linked to a system recovery.

  Here's a post that addresses a similar issue. To resolve this issue, check the suggestion given in the post.

  Message "you run lack of disk space on RECOVERY (d :))".

• Not enough space on the hard drive

  When I try to put a 8 Gig file in my hardrive it is said that there is not enough disk space even if the hard drive has 15 concerts

  free space left. Can someone please help me im trying to put it on my other laptop and the hard drive is FAT32.

  FAT32.  There is your problem.

  The largest file a FAT32 formatted hard drive will be accept/pick-up is 4 GB less 2 bytes...  8GB is too large.

  Format the drive with a different file system, convert it to a different file system or use the file on another drive with a file system that supports the individual files of this size.

• Should I delete catalogs old or empty space on the hard drive?

  Somehow, I found myself with three catalogs in LR 4 - Catalog.lrcat, catalog - 2.lrcat and catalog - 3.lrcat.   My LR3 original catalogue was Catalog.lrcat.  When I upgraded to LR4, catalog - 2.lrcat was created, and this is a catalog that I use.  I don't know how the catalogue-3 was created, but all images are grayed out and have question marks on them.

  I want to free up space on my hard drive by getting rid of - removal-(104MB) catalogue and catalogue-3 (103MB).  This is not recommended?  And exactly how can I do to remove a catalog?

  That's what I had in mind.

• How to store games so that they do not take too much space on the hard drive (XP Prof). And how do I know what files are 'useless' before I remove them?

  In very simple terms please

  Some games offer the opportunity to install some files only when you are setting them up, others not.  There is nothing you can do to force a game to use more or less hard disk space it wants to use.

  Clean 'files' is a losing proposition.  Unless you're the type who has dozens of movie files to several gigabytes of each hard drive there is no way to clean up "the files" in quantities reasonable for free hard drive space.

  It seems that if your hard disk becomes full or is full and should be replaced by a larger.  It is the only real solution to the problem, if so.  Get a bigger hard drive, transfer your current installation of Windows itself and be happy.

• How to free space on the hard drive?

  Hello, in my "On Mac" section, it says I 233 MB of space on my 121 GB of Flash storage. Previously, I thought it was video files, but it was buggy mac section. I refreshed, hoping he would show me how much space I had left, but he stayed the same. That is the problem. I use my macbook for College written work and - maximum - work on Adobe Creative Suite. When I work on these I use a separate USB key due to the size of the files.

  The only files I have actively created/downloaded on my macbook are the files in the files of my 'Documents', 'Pictures' and 'Applications '. When I use "Get Info" on each, I see that my photo folder is great, My Documents folder is large 1.17 GB and my Applications folder is large 14,68 GB 889,9 MB. These are the only files that I use and backup the files needed for my Macbook running and working properly, the only files I want to keep.

  My question is, basically, if there is a way to lose all the files on my hard drive that are not necessary to keep. I'm not too good when it comes to computers, so I don't want to not just randomly start deleting things. Just to get these road, my garbage can is completely empty and I have nothing in my downloads folder. I have also no large files to film and, when I searched my Macintosh HD for files larger than 500 MB, there is no evidence, so I guess that this is caused by a large amount of small files (I tried to restrict research naturally but then come files that I wasn't sure of what they have done and therefore have not removed the still). If it helps, my about Mac filed 100,64 GB of my free space as 'other '. But I know that is not how much space was taken when I got the Macbook earlier this year and it should not be the size of the files that comes with it by default. There is also a way to restore all the files on my macbook at their stage of default, that I would also be interested, especially if there is a way to do it without rid of files I already have.

  I guess that's a very basic question, can someone help out me?

  1. never remove all the files that you do not understand the purpose. If you do, it's like opening the hood of your car and take bits out of the engine ebcause you think they are not necessary.

  2. it seems more likely that you must rebuild your Spotlight index.

  See the following page:

• Lack of 180 GB of space on the hard drive?

  I have recently been downloading a lot of TV shows and I realized only 37GB left on my C drive. It is confusing to me, because my whole video folder only takes about 15 GB. Even my download folder, which is host to a large number of files that I still have to sort, comes up to 20 GB only. I have a lot of space heavy software, but which comes up to 10 GB.

  I selected all of the files in the drive (and not hiding all hidden folders), and combined files come up to approximately 105 GB.

  Maximum capacity of my drive is 284 GB and yet according to the propriety of the player, there are 248 GB used. I understand that there must be a few GB allocated to all the things that make the computer function and run it, but there's no way that should be 179 GB of space?

  I tried everything, CCleaner running, using WINDIRSTAT to see where everything was going to space, but only cleaned the part 105 GB, I still have no idea which stands near 180 GB of space?

  Does anyone have an idea what is the cause? I do not trust myself to make a re - install.

  Hi, Karen

  Your system could create system restore points. Check your system protection and see the current use of disk space - you can then adjust it to your liking.

• I ran out of free space on the hard drive how can I free up space

  My pc is freezing or locking up when I run a desktop wallpaper animated, so I defragment a saw that I was up to 20% freespace

  You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

  The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

  A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

  The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

  If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

  Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

  If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

  cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.
