Computer of memory on my hard drive - I already have the basics. How to get free space.
Original title: I'm out of memory on my hard drive but I have minimum programs, photo and music on it. What else can I remove it?
It seems that a lot of programs listed under Add/Remove are installations of service packs or updates. I already deleted all files and unwanted programs, ran defragmentd and my drive disk cleanup. What should I do to find a free space?
Space and memory are two different things.

original title: Partition of mystery
I just got a new computer. It has a 2 TB hard drive that apparently has already been partitioned, creating a drive E. I have not create the partition. The files on the partition are old EULA, the .cabs, and .dll files, but this that baffles me, is that the two disks are the same size, 2 TB. It is the size of the disk itself. Whence comes this extra drive, and how these two readers may overlap?
Should I remove this extra drive and if so, how can I do?
Thank you
Tim
Wait, I'm CONFUSED! YOU can not HAVE a PC THAT IS 4TB SIZE!
EDIT: Sorry, but Acer installed 2 HDD. (Wow!)
Be sure not to remove the 2nd partition, because it IS a recovery or backup disk.

My computer is running out of hard drive space
So I got a message in the Photos saying that it optimize the photos stored on my computer and let the full resolution of those in the cloud.
But my computer is still only 3 GB of free hard drive so it runs slowly. How to make Photos to optimize better so that I have more like 10 GB of free hard drive?
Thank you
Optimal use of this computer could be a problem with only 3 GB left.3GB is there anything that will adjust upward for the swap disk cache. Even 10 GB on a hard drive to boot will really push it and it is not realistic to expect a computer to perform optimally with 10 GB of space. HD is used by the computer for permanent and temporary files and space can fill up very quickly.
Delete some files on your hard drive or put your images on an external drive.
Optimization of images with either change the format or quality. If you ok with losing than to convert them, otherwise you get a cheap external. A 1 TB USB 3 external drive can go less than 75 $us and could the investments needed at this stage.

"this computer's hard drive is smaller than the original hard drive shipped.
Computer model: p7-1058uk Hi, I'm trying to reinstall my windows recovery kit 7 I bought from best2serve my OCZ Vertex 60 GB ssd Series 3. But I get this error message "this computer's hard drive is smaller than the original supplied hard disk. The recovery process cannot continue"I actually managed to install this recovery on the same front drive kit when I bought first. Any ideas as to why its not working now? I have formatted the ssd drive, deleted the partition and creates a new one with a program called gparted. I can't access my computer until I can reinstall this recovery again kit. Thank you
Hello:
I'm surprised that the same recovery disks set worked the first time. Unfortunately, the error you are getting is the norm. I don't know any solution other than to get a bigger hard drive to the approximate size as the original.
I have a solution for you if you want to use...
If you can read the product key 25 character Windows 7 on the sticker COST Microsoft on your PC, you can download single files Windows 7 ISO to burn it to a DVD for the version of windows (Pro, home) that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the sticker COST Microsoft on the PC.
You must also select the language installation provided with your PC, or the product key will not work.
Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program.
Use the 25-character product key to activate the installation. It's good for the 32-bit or 64-bit version of W7.
Then go to the support page and drivers for your PC install the drivers you need.
Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

The old computer was a Dell 8200 demension. It is the power supply is dead and its processor was 8 years, so I decided to build a new. I have a backup of the system on a USB hard drive. I have also all my important files backed up. I realize that the old HD and his backup, both, all dell settings and drivers. I'm not trying to circumvent the licensing rules. I'm willing to pay Microsoft. Should I buy a new drive with XP SP3 pro/c. I hesitate to switch windows 7 yet.
Thanks for any info.You must buy a new XP Pro and install it on the new computer. Transfer your data from the old disk to the new. You can then format the old drive and use it for extra storage if you wish. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Hello
I installed an external USB connected hard drive Seagate to copy some movies and pictures of my HP laptop with Vista, but it became a big problem. It slowed the computer and check the new disc repeatedly. Then it wouldn't start without the external drive at all but it was working fine once he was conducting with the external hard drive. So thinking I can outsmart the computer, I uninstalled the drive from Control Panel. Now it primer not at all. The computer lights up briefly and then goes out of itself almost immediately, is there a solution to this? Thank you

Original title: startup problem
Hi SomBhattacharya,
Please try the possible fix following first thanks to Carey Frisch:
1. open the BIOS of the motherboard.
2. find where it says Priority Boot Device, then select CD/DVD-ROM 1, 2nd Hard Drive and disable all the rest.
3 find somewhere in the BIOS where it says BOOT USB, Wake on USB, etc. and disable all unnecessary options.And second if it does not help, you can try the following with Blue Michael:
Local Geek Squad had me intentionally set the BIOS to the correct order, then re-order and SAVE.
It worked, even if the list of the BIOS was always in the right order.I hope this helps!

OS = Windows 7
Computer = Gateway FX6840
Media = gateway recovery media
Hard drive is set to AHCI in BIOSI started meeting with S.M.A.R.T. errors.
I backed up my data.
I replaced 1 TB Seagate original with a new 2 hard drive to Seagate Barracuda SATA STBD2000101. Computer is equipped also is from the factory... no additional or modified facilities.
I tried to restore Windows 7 from the rescue of the disks created with the "Gateway Recovery Management"
Windows copying files over, the machine restarts, it installs the devices, then it stops at the "installation program starts services" and a window opens with the message "windows Setup could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer.
I can't apply the Article ID: 2466753 because the process of restoration of the plant seems not provide an option to load a driver .
Any help would be appreciated... Gateway is only interested to collect money. They have no interest in serving the poor suckers who buy their products (computer is 2 years old so it is out of warranty).
Thanks for the reply.
Fortunately, I solved the problem myself (after 19 hours of stress).
The problem is that the recent hard disk has something different that no longer ages and makes pre-service pack 1 (SP1 solves the problem) versions of Windows 7 incompatible. My set of recovery disks have been created the day I bought the computer, which had no windows updates installed at the time.There is an "easy solution" on the Microsoft support site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2466753/en-us
Unfortunately, their method works only if you have a Windows 7 installation disc, which does most of the people who buy computers pre-built manufacturers. Essentially, the solution is to install SP1 from a disc when don't give you the possibility to load drivers during installation, an option that the gateway recovery disks.
So I thought that, theoretically, if I use my recovery discs to get a clean install on a hard drive that works, then use windows update to get updated (or at least to get SP1), and then make a set of NEW recovery disks (using windows backup: start > all programs > maintenance > Backup and Restore), I should be able to use these discs to install the new hard disk.
It worked.
So for someone else who has this same problem with new hard disks, I hope that the above is easy to understand. If not, ask someone else more savvy and show them this thread. Do not forget that at the end to create new recovery disks, it will ask you if you also want to create a 'system' repair disc. DO THIS! This is the disk that you need to start from when you are ready to install.
Also: If your new hard drive is bigger than the one that you have created the new recovery disks, the partition on your new hard drive (once everything is installed) will be the same size as the one that you have created the records on. You will need to use a kind of editor of score for re - size. I recommend Gnome Partition Editor. http://www.gparted.org
Burn gparted Live CD and him, resize your partition, and you're done (google for more in-depth instructions).
Thank you, theloungelizardK, for the offer on the ISO, but I don't need. :)

· My old Win XP computer died - it is completely unusable. I bought a new PC with Win 7 Pro and 1 TB. I still have the old HARD DRIVE (250 GB) which I have attached on the new computer using an external enclosure supports SATA drives. The external hard drive is connected to the computer in USB 3.0. I checked that the new computer can see the external hard drive. (I also used for backups by changing the hard drive with a 2 TB drive 'mass storage' - that works.)
I searched the internet for possible solutions and found no help. If the transfer of files from Microsoft would change the disc to analyze, it would be simple. But if I select the OLD computer it scans the disk I'm on (new) - automatically.
Is there anyone who has had the same problem? He must be because computers die all the time and people buy new computers - who then, somehow, they get the former transferred files. I could do it manually, but that wouldn't change the settings. Last resort would be to buy an old computer XP (SATA), replace the drive. Transfer the files, and then sell this computer.
You may be able to recover your data files, but I hope that you will set up your new system to automatically backup a second internal hard drive or an external USB hard drive.
This suggestion may not work, but it's worth a try. Buy an external USB drive enclosure. They come in two sizes 2.5 "for the portable computer drives and 3.5" for desktop disks. You can purchase adapters for 3.5 "envelopes so that they can also be used with a portable player. Place the hard drive in the enclosure and connect to a USB port of another computer. Several hard disks are more able to start, but the contents of the disc can still be accessed, read and copied from the disk because you do not use the operating system on a failed disk.
Here is an example of the type of device, I suggest:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=external+hardrive+enclosure&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=14388537836&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=556960941559985931&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_32uorbwbuk_bYou need only to the speaker, that you see are not necessarily more expensive. Thereafter, you can put an old hard drive usable, an abandoned because you need a larger drive internal, in the enclosure and use it as additional external storage.

My computer crashed two weeks ago and all software had reinstalled in another HD. The first hard drive still has all the files and are readable. Where can I find the old catalog fall back all my work?
My lightroom was great before the crash to work and I have a lot of work still pending.
You will need the catalog file and all your images. If you have also stored your images on which crashed HDD you will need to copy them as well.
The default location of the LR catalog file is in your user name folder in the folder on the ROOT of the drive users

The external hard drive which has my VM on it has always attached to my MacBook Pro via a firewire cable. Recently, I bought the latest version Apple Time Capsule, which I use as a router. I have attached my external hard drive from VM to the router, but I've found that Fusion works very slowly in this way. When I tried to reconnect the external hard drive to the laptop directly again, Fusion starts but some files could not be found and I continued to get the guests on that wouldn't go away and let me click in the window of Fusion. The only way it works now to use the hard drive in the configuration router. This is the address that my MacBook Pro wants to see. Even then, things are not quite right. So... has decided I should just move my VM from external HDD (when it is connected to the router) on a new external hard drive that plugs directly into the laptop. The transfer is so slow... He told me to expect to wait hours 219. Help! How I comment j' ai I stop all this and just connect the hard drive with my VM it directly in the Mac, to operate and move them where I want to move?
Thank you
Michelle
Hello
Basically, you can just copy the entire virtual machine to the new hard drive and run it from there. There is not much more than that, but you need to stop your VM (not hang) before performing the copy.
However, there is a chance that you will have to make some small adjustments, but it depends on how your virtual machine has been implemented.
When I tried to reconnect the external hard drive to the laptop directly again, Fusion starts but some files could not be found and I continued to get the guests on that wouldn't go away and let me click in the window of Fusion.
UH... without we say what these some files are not found, we cannot be a great help. The first thing to try is to attach the vmware.log of your virtual machine file when you try to do this again.
