Cannot take account of 11.5 GB used space on the drive "C".

Hi, I have a Dell Dimension 5150 with an internal drive. Win XP SP3. According to 'My computer' 'C' drive is GB 229 with free = 156 GB 73 GB used. That's what it also shows when I check 'properties' for drive 'C '.

I checked the 'properties' of what I see on the drive "C" (from Windows Explorer - properties) and when I add I just only 62 GB used. So, I can't explain for about 11 GB of used space.

Does this sound right? I show the 'hidden' files, so they are taken into account. All the ideas that I can't see?

Thanks for any help/tips

I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

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 that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

Select Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, view, advanced settings and check the box in front of "show files and folders" and 'Hide protected operating system files' are unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second element. You should also make sure that the box before "Hide extensions of known file types" is not checked. Notwithstanding, there are some files that are hidden. Again, you will not see the System Volume Information folder.

Access to the System Volume Information folder

Some files to hide the backup software and these can be very large. Usually, they fragment and so will appear in the list of more than Fragment files in a Disk Defragmenter report.

Some security software also hides files. Symantec may have started this practice when they first introduced Protected Storage. Others followed, then consider this option if you do not find the reason of an unexplained gap during reconciliation occupied disk space more saved disk space for the capacity of the disk.

    Guessed it.  My snapshots Appassure did not also exist with a similar error, so that's what I did to solve it.  My servers now converted without any problem.

    1. Open disk management.
    2. Look at the partition of the PRS and see if it is 100% full.
      • If Yes, proceed to step 3.
      • If this is not the case, check if there are readers who have no more of 300 MB free (minimum requirement to use VSS).
    3. Click a drive, select properties and then select the instant snapshots tab.
    4. Ensure that all shadow copies are disabled and no limit on all players.
    5. Go to the partition of the SRP and assign the B:drive letter.
    6. Open the B: drive via disk management, and then locate the folder System Volume Information. Note: if necessary, change the folder options so that you can view hidden files, folders and drives.
    7. Right-click the System Volume Information folder, and then select Properties.
    8. On the Security tab, click Edit, and then add the group with full control everyone in the folder.

  • Satellite L500-19Z - cannot use WLan because the driver has been removed

    I accidentally uninstalled REALTEK WLAN driver and now I can't use the wireless installation.
    I tried to use system restore to recover before the uninstall, but the system restore won't restore (tells me that anti-virus prevents it probably, but I stopped my loading anti-virus, so this isn't the problem).

    I then allowed Windows 7 to find the material and it re-installed the driver, but I still can't use WLAN.
    Anyone got advice to help me get out of the mess I made for myself?

    Hello

    To my knowledge, this laptop supports the Realtek RTL8191SE WLan card 802.11bgn.
    You can find the Wlan driver here:

  • When storing photos on iCloud to use space on the iPhone too?

    I have an iPhone 6 Plus.  If I store photos in iCloud there also use space on my iPhone? The reason why I ask is because I have a friend who has a Samsung phone and it has several thousand pictures on this topic, but it can install an SD card inside the phone and is where his photos. It uses no space on his phone.  I wonder if I can do the same thing using iCloud?

    iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you remove them on your device, they will remove icloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective. There is no SD card option.

  • RDM use space on the store data or SAN

    Dear all,

    According to my understanding, RDM creates a mapping file in the data store in the folder of the virtual machine, but it consumes all of the space on the data store, but yes, on SAN. I have a virtual machine with 50 GB vmdk and a physical RDM 50 GB, the machine's memory is 8 GB so vsphere client, seems space put into service for machine to 108. So it means that 50 GB of RDM is also included in funded space shown in vsphere client.

    The same look at space of data store, the space of data store configured showing also 50 GB RDM counted in the space provided, where, as the data must be on the SAN, can someone explain why in the data store space calculation as rdm as space accrued on himself.

    Please let me know if my question is not clear.

    Thank you

    As the rdm file uses no space disk (only a few bytes of the header/descriptor file), the disk space is still available for other virtual machines.

  • Cannot use spaces at the beginning of the second line of wrapped text

    Hello!

    My question is simple:

    When I got the text inside a text box, and it wraps at the end of the box, why can't put spaces at the beginning of the second line (the wrapped)?

    Because the beginnings of words always wrap to the next line, with spaces accumulate after the word at the end of the previous line.  Any text automatically formatting process skin for it.

    If you want seats at the front, press return first, to force the start of a new line, and then type your spaces.

  • used space on the hard drive is much more than space unused theres 40 GB in the installations of windows preivus! Should / can I clean it as I just 17% left free space left

    or if no what is your opinion please!  ;-)

    Not enough information really.

    Can you be more precise all around?
     
    17% of how much?  After all, if I have 17% free on a system, which could be > 600 GB with a single physical hard disk and a single partition.

  • Cannot use disk utility to create the partition of the free space on the external USB drive.

    I have a red 3 TB Western Digital drive in a USB hard drive docking station.

    The reader is GPT, and I have two volumes on it (a single volume is "Microsoft reserved", another volume is NTFS).

    The other part of my drive is 1.5 TB of free space. I want to create a new partition with free space so that I can put backups Time Machine encrypted external hard disk.

    I checked free space on the drive with my Windows machine:

    DiskPart displays 2 partitions - a 128 MB and the other GB 1267 with 1526 MB of free space.

    I took the hard drive of my MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and pulled towards the high disk utility, but for some reason, that it does not resemble the disk utility it is to see the free space, so I can't create a new volume.

    Here are a few screenshots:

    ... of the physical disk in disk utility (notice how it doesn't seem be all unallocated space on the disk to create a new volume):

    ... of the NTFS volume in disk utility:

    ... of information for the drive in disk utility:

    ... of information for the NTFS volume in disk utility:

    ... of the partitioning settings page. Notice how the sign is grayed out (I can't create another partition):

    I'm a new Mac user. My company recently gave me a Mac, so the first thing I want to do is to create a new partition on this external USB drive to put backups Time Machine figures on it.

    In the research I did find a way to do it on a mac computer without erasing the drive and starting over. But you can go to your windows computer and partition the free space of disks. Then use the mac to set the free space as mac os extended journaled. Here's what I found. http://www.PCWorld.com/article/2066191/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive.html the only other way would be to copy the file on the external drive, somewhere, so you can delete it and re partition for windows and mac. Then reinstall windows files. I'm not familiar with windows systems.

  • Cannot be used on Windows 7 Sony bluetooth headset because the driver is missing.

    Original title: Question about bluetooth drivers

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Sony bluetooth headset on my Macbook bootcamp Win 7.

    My helmet model is MDR-10RBT. My Win 7 detected the headset in the bluetooth device section, but I can't use it because the driver is missing. (There is an exclamation mark in the bottom left of the icon) The headset works fine when I start the o/s under OSX tho. I have already installed to the disk of bootcamp, nothing helps.

    So is the printer connected to the router or you are going through the router to a shared printer on another computer.

    Whatever it is, the printer driver must be executed in the process of printisolationhost rather than the spoolsv process if the spooler will not process that is corrupting the print driver.

    When you have Pro and Ultimate is easy.  If you have home made me know if gpedit.msc launches Group Policy Editor.

    For Pro and home run printmanagement.msc

    Drivers, find the 1522, right click, pilot of isolation, isolated

    Now, start the spooler service.  Since the driver does not work, you must remove it by using any HP software used to install the driver.  Normally in the programs, you can find the installation of HP and select uninstall.  Reset.  HP.com head, pick up the HP driver published last month and start again
