cannot defragment the disk D: due the low free space

Hello.  I'm trying to defragment my D: drive, but it won't let me because only 12% free space is available and I need 15%.  I tried to uninstall unused programs and deleting old files etc... but still I can't to 15%.  Can anyone advise me on what to do, please? A little frustrated with her right now...

Now we know for sure. Paul was right. It is the recovery partition. Please leave it as it is.

It should never be defragmented because it can lose its functionality easily.

    Not based on what? You have not provided any information as to the amount of space you have left and what is the total capacity of your iPad. He must leave a certain percentage of the free capacity at all times, so if you have a 32GB device and you are up to 2 GB of free storage, which could in fact be severed close... If it says you need to 194.8 MG of free space that would be in addition to the amount that you see as free space.

    It also depends on what you're trying to sync on iTunes as well. What content, apps, songs, etc.

    So... can provide you more details?

    Remove the data cable of all drives except the drive that you want to install Windows 7 on.

    Remove all external devices.

    Delete all partitions on the disk leave all of the disc as "unallocated".

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD and then install, when you reach the point where it asks you to select a drive, click the "Advanced" option and create a new partition (at least 50 GB) to install Windows and continue with the installation process.

    Hello

    Method 1:

    I suggest you analyze your computer Microsoft Safety Scanner, it will help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

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

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    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 2: Try running the disk check on your system with the help of the link below.

    How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

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

  • Cannot restore backup because there is not enough free space

    Try to restore from the latest backup and get an error message that there is not enough free space. How can be greater than the capacity of the backup phone? What the user should do?

    How free do to space you have left on the phone?

    Have you tried to transfer the contents of the camera to your Mac and remove the pictures after that in the phone, to get more free space?

    Because the backup will replace the contents of the camera as well, this should be no problem.

    If you want to restore, and then try again.

  • Cannot defragment the hard drive AND cannot start the computer in safe mode

    I have been unable to defragment my hard drive because it tells me that chkdsk /f planned.  I tried manually works in command mode nothing works.  I was advised to try to start up in safe mode, but when I do that all I get is a screen of command lines, and my computer freezes there.  What I'm doing wrong and what I can do differently?

    If you try to defragment a volume and see a message like this:

    Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
    Please run Chkdsk /f.

    This means that the volume (disk) that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

    To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window.

    For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

    fsutil dirty query C:

    The sample output:
    Volume c is dirty
    Volume C: is dirty

    Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

    The only way to disable the on a volume's dirty bit is to run chkdsk with error correction.

    You can click on start, run and enter in the box:

    Chkdsk /r

    Click OK and answer Yes to schedule the chkdsk next time XP restarts, restart your system and keep your fingers crossed that the chkdsk /r clears the dirty bit (you may need to run once or twice).

    If who disobeys, then you will need to start in the XP Recovery Console and run the chkdsk /r from there.

  • Cannot defragment the HARD drive

    Hello. I can't defragment my hard drive. After you have installed the CC29 firmware for my 3 TB Seagate drive that vastly improved read/write speeds, I can't defragment. I checked with seatools and Windows errors nothing no problem. The drive is recognized by windows as it is listed in my computer, but when I go to defrag it does not show on the list. I tried Microsoft support and they just offer to fix it for $ 99, that I could buy a new hard drive for it. Thanks in advance for any response.
