Complete hard drive memory ~ solution Possible?

I've recently upgraded Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop HP DV6.

HP Recovery Hard Drive (D) has always displayed full 11 GB & no backup possible.

Local computer Disk Drive (C) displays 36 GB FREE OF 221 GB TO 250 GB STORAGE.

Real programs 46 GB as well as all personal files of 16 GB installed ~ Math is wrong!

Negative results of all disk cleanup, Defragmenter, & several antivirus programs.

I just bought a new battery for laptop online at Amazon & I feel better now.

I'd appreciate any help or advice for this problem.

Thank you in advance,

Jack

I've recently upgraded Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop HP DV6.

Negative results of all disk cleanup, Defragmenter, & several antivirus programs.

Here are a few comments:

  • Your D: drive is a recovery disk. It is normal that it is full. In fact, delete the drive letter to make it invisible. This will not hinder its functionality.
  • Defragment and run antivirus programs will not release any disk space.
  • Several programs using antivirus is not a good idea. At best they badly slow down the machine. At worst causes conflicts between them.
  • Here are the first two steps you should take:
    -Running Cleanmgr.exe.
    -Set the amount of disk space used by the restoration of the system to 5%.
    (Control Panel / System / System Protection / configuration)

If you still have a problem, download and run TreeSize: http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/.

If you need to display additional snapshots, please use instead of PrtSc snippingtool.exe to make readable image. Here's what the snapshot of the disk manager would look like:

  • HP Pavilion g6 1014sa problems starting and complete hard drive (305)

    Hello

    Out of the blue, my laptop just stopped starting sometimes.  It didn't fall or anything.  The screen remains black after start-up and only the fan turns on.  Verified the external monitors etc.

    He occasionally start and I have usually press f10 for that to happen.  I ran the diagnostic tests and memory, we came back ok.

    Disd hark test rises "hard disk complete 1 (305).

    However when I leave configured BIOS, windows starts normally and works ok for a few days.  So is there really a problem with the hard drive?  This would explain why it won't turn?

    The laptop becomes quite hot enough quickly also, this can be explained by the error of hard disk or is it do? I don't want to buy a new drive hard to make it happen.  Is it POSSIBLE to repair a hard drive or replacement is the only option? This error is certainly correct?

    Thank you

    Can someone tell me if I can get a recovery for a 230cx disk? And what is the max hard drive that I have and RAM.

    Thank you...

    Hello

    Well, it is a very old unit. I think that it s about 8 or 9 years.
    However, I found the information that this unit has an internal memory of 16 MB and it of possible to upgrade the memory for max 144 MB (16 + 128MB)
    Also, this unit has been delivered with a 1.37 GB HDD part Nr.: P000229560
    I don t think you will be able to use a big HDD like 10 GB. The BIOS couldn't t recognize the HARD drive. Sorry but there is no information on the maximum size of HARD drive.

    The recovery CD, you must order the Toshiba service partner.

  • How can I defragment a complete hard drive (formerly)?

    I want to give my husband my old laptop, a HP non-tech.  It's the hard drive 60 gigabytes.  A few days ago, I sent most of my personal to the Recycle Bin and then deleted files (don't worry, all these files are in my new computer and saved on an external hard drive), the thought that would open up more space, because it was so full.  (The Defragmenter says he needs 15% free space on the disk.)  The Defragmenter says only 1 percent of the space was available, and after I left to do its thing, he went up to 2%.

    Is not remove all these files something interesting?

    I must also say that I deleted a bunch of files temporary and others, also, but this seems not to have helped.

    Is it possible that I can open a space on the hard drive without having to completely clean and re - install all software?  Thank you.

    Hello world

    IM using a MacMini 2012 with 16 GB of RAM and a 500GB HDD stock.

    I don't know what to do. My MacMini gives me error messages all the time say that my HARD disk memory is full - but it isn't.

    I already emptied the trash. I was transferred to GB´s videos on an external HARD drive. Sometimes, the memory is more and what is reduced without having done anything.

    Today I had 1, 76 GB of free memory and wile watching a video the same 'lack of HARD disk space"message.

    The amounts also vary a lot. Yesterday he showed me 210 GB of videos (green) - today after the transfer not 10 GB of videos, it says now that I just left 12 GB and the difference is now on color (yellow) data.

    Can someone help me please...

  • HP Probook s 4530: HARD drive crashed - no possibility of recovery of windows 7

    Dear Sir

    A few weeks ago my hard drive crashed, it was not possible to repair the HARD disk, so I ordered a new HARD drive.

    I thought that I was able to download and install Windows 7 onto the new HARD drive with the product on the back of my laptop, but when I try to download it from the Microsoft Web site I get a message saying that there is a problem with the request for approval. In further research, this can only for commercial versions, not pre-installed versions.

    So, how can I get Windows 7 now on my laptop?

    Product: Laptop HP 4530 s

    Series: CNU1263BN9

    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (x 64)

    If I need to provide more information please let me know.

  • Upgrade the HARD drive, memory and display on Satellite A30 921 driver

    I got a model a30-921, satellite phone for two years now. I would ask someone who could help me how to put my hard drive from 40 to the majority and the memory to 1 g. and also where can I find the latest driver for ati mobility radeon igp 9000.

    Thank you and looking forward to here from you soon.

    Hi Remelito,

    I use a 80 GB hard drive in my SA30 and I suspect it would probably work with a 100 GB drive. However, as portable hard drives tend to suffer ruptures busiest I think their close office 80 GB is perfectly o.k. for me. I tend to have 25-30 GB used with the rest of the temporary files during editing of the videos etc. The hard drive in the A30 is usually under the optical drive to remove all first in order to access the hard drive.

    Your A30 can be upgraded to a maximum of 2 GB of RAM in two slots. Currently, you will have 2 X 128 MB or 2 X 256 MB modules of RAM installed. You can get the modules of memory in the sizes of 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB or 1 GB. the following URL provides information on reference numbers (the United Kingdom site), but you can Google for a suitable provider.
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=11505&ft=m&St=3

    Toshiba unfortunately do not provide regular updates to their display drivers (at least in my experience). Like you, I have an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000IGP in my SA30 and I resorted to a driver Omega catalyst in order to play newer games. I ran this Omega driver for many months now with still no Bul. You can obtain this driver from: -.

  • It's a complete hard drive after reinstalling XP Home and all updates are done, why?

    Do a XP Home reinstall on a desktop HP clocked at 1.6 ghz with 1 GB of ram and a 10 GB hard drive (about 9.8 GB usable after format). Booted from the disc, has made a full format of the hard drive, responsible for XP home without any problems, registered with Microsoft online, loaded all updates including SP3. Now, the system shows only about 170 MB of hard disk space. Is it possible that XP Home with updates can use much more space or can I have another problem? I thought that she should only use about 1.5 GB?

    I could indeed take up that much space. But, you have a more serious problem. Your drive is too small... you have lucky, Windows is still stable. Where to install your programs?

  • Virus complete hard drive.

    Hello

    I'm having this problem where this virus keeps filling my hard drive (only the C) with invisible files. I've had this problem for a while now (probably around a year-ish, and Yes, I'm that lazy/careless with a jerk to start to deal with it now). Anyhoo, I did some research and found a way to return back in time mainly by the system restore so I tried, but my computer says that there is no restore points, so basically that I'm screwed if this is my only recourse.
    Is it possible to get rid of this terrible virus? Any help would be very much appreciated since this is getting really tiring.

    Hi DaveOwen,

    I suggest you to run the disk cleanup utility to remove unnecessary files from your system. Disk Cleanup helps your computer run faster. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

    To delete files using disk cleanup, follow the steps below:

    1. open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button, all programs, Accessories, clicking System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.

    2. in the disk Cleanup Options dialog box, choose whether you want to clean your own files only or all files on the computer.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. If the Disk Cleanup: drive selection dialog box appears, select the hard disk you want to clean, and then click OK.

    4. click the Disk Cleanup tab and select the check boxes for files that you want to remove.

    5. When you have finished select the files that you want to remove, click OK, and then click delete files to confirm the operation. Disk Cleanup on delete all unnecessary files from your computer.

  • Hard drive crash as possible; If I buy Windows 7, I have a problem installing it?

    Startup problem

    I can't start with Vista.  Download the screen saying enter ctrl-alt-delete.  Unable to restore the system, use backup factory or reinstall the OS from the system CD.  But when I checked before the accident, the hard drive worked OK.  Obviously, corrupted.  My question: if I buy Windows 7, I have a problem installing it?

    It's your BIOS configured to boot from the recovery disc?
    How load BIOS and change Boot ... - Notebooks.com
    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
    Click on drive Options
    Select the disc/s click on Delete
    Click new
    Click on apply
    Click OK
    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    I had a lot of success with Samsung EVO 850 and 840 SSD, SSD Crucial. The sandisk conversion kit will make this simple.

    Hybrid hard drives are certainly not identical to an SSD. They don't have the super speed or the overall coherence of BIOS.
