Drive C appears full?
My C drive shows that I have 650 MB of memory left out of 20 G. When I add the memory of my files on my C drive, it's only about 5G. How can I find on which occupies the rest of the memory? I regularly use disk cleanup and defraged the drive C. My hard drive is partitioned into 4 drives.
Hello
In addition to the operating system files (which can actually take between 12-15 GB), space is reserved for the restoration of the system, the swap file, temp files, etc. 20 GB is far too small for an installation of Vista for an average user, you won't even have room for a handful of programs. In addition, you need 10 to 15% of free space on the disc to allow other functions (defragmentation, expansion of demand, etc.). Your real solution is a greater volume of installation.

External hard drive not appearing is not in the side bar of the Finder
My external hard drive does not appear in my sidebar of the Finder on my MacBookPro. It is mounted (I checked the disk utility) and my Finder preferences are set for the drives appear in the sidebar. It's a Toshiba 2 TB and I can access it on other MacBookPros.
Just to check, you have the option turned on in Finder-> Preferences-> sidebar.
Double check because there is another option in the Finder-> Preferences-> general of external drives to appear on the desktop.

My laptop has 2 dual processor x 75 GB. Tried to move the files to the E drive but they double and are difficult to locate. Life should be easier than this! C drive is nearly full, E drive uses only 30%. What happens when the C drive is full?
[Moved from comments]
Simple!
You get a BIGGER hard drive.
The 'norm' for laptops these days is at least 500 GIGs.
Which is the same amount that I have in my table.
2 x 250 GB.
I have XP Pro on one single, Windows 7, on the other. (And each of them uses ONLY about HALF of these hard drives!)
In a month or two, I'll upgrade to 2 x 1 terabyte hard drives. sounds a little one 'kill too much', I know, but hey, my computer IS able to be updated that he got so far it?
Yours is in need of an upgrade too, suggest that there is, to solve your problem!

Hi, Mr. flame.
What is your operating system?
If you have been creating full backups, the backup only that you keep is the last.

C drive is too full of windows files, they make more concise?
My old computer is running xp and has a 20 GB C drive. I also have an external hard drive 500 GB, where I store most of the data files. I run C cleaner and remove programs, I do not use. My drive is too full to defragment, and I don't have enough space to install office Pro 2007 for work.
The composition of my C drive includes; 7.1 GB Windows, 2.6 Docs & settings, 2.5 GB of program files, 2.2 GB System Volume Information, 1.1 GB of files and the rest is negligible. I suspect a lot of windows stuff could be deleted, but do not know how to determine what is important.
I would disable restoring the system to the outside you don't need on this
Lowering of the system restore on C has nothing to do with the external hard drive. It will have its own settings. If you use your external for backup, I wouldn't bother with system restore. System Restore is generally used for programs that have been installed. Or maybe if your system is infected with something (you turn it off)
The only thing system restore is good because houses viruses / Trojan / malware. If your system is infected. I would like to turn it off

My computer shows that my 'C' drive is almost full and advised me to transfer some of the programs on. But going through the list, I discovered that most of the proms has in my 'C' drive are windows, most programs had been updated but with different codes. I want to transfer or delete, but I don't know which of them can be done safely without affecting my computer work?
ConcerningPhilip TanHello PhilipTanams,
You will not be able to move the files to the C: drive on another drive Windows. All Windows files must be in the C: drive.
Method 1:
If you have personal files or data, you can move these files to another drive that increases the size of the C: drive by adding
Method 2:If you have any other partition which has an empty space in it, you can extend the C: drive by adding the empty spaces to the C: drive.
See the links to find out how to extend the partition of drive.

I can't save anything else on my computer and I feel as if I had barely whether registered here initially. My (C) drive is almost full and my local disk drive (D) has so much space to this topic, but I don't know how to do as my default player. I tried following the suggestions of the people online, but nothing helped. Can anyone help?
The first thing to do is run the disk cleanup utility. Instructions here.
Then, try to move some files and folders. There are a few different folders, you can move from the C drive to the D drive. So let me suggest you only start moving your files, documents, music, photos and video from C to d. here are the instructions. You need to do one at a time. To find them, in Solution Explorer, expand the C drive, find your name under users and all your personal files are there.
After these two things, tell me how much space you have on C.

My C drive is nearly full, but my D drive is almost empty
Hi all. I have a hard drive 1 TB, divided in a 250 GB drive C and 750 D player. My problem is that the C drive is nearly full, but the large D drive is almost empty. I have urgent need to move the partition, or transfer a huge chunk of files from C to D drive. The first would be better, or even delete the partition and have one disk, but I tried to move the partition using the Windows utility, and all I could do was reduce the C drive. I don't see how to remove the partition either.
Which leaves the possibility of moving one of the large folders on drive C to D, which seems risky, but an it vendor told me that I could move the big folder of users (75GB). It seemed risky, but being desperate I tried - and got the error code 0 x 80070057. I would be grateful for any advice on how to solve this stupid problem.
You can safe your Documents, photos, videos and music files to the other disk. Navigate to the folder users, your user folder. Right-click on each one and choose move.
Remember that the overall performance will begin to suffer when you exceed 75% c in use.
However, your real problem is the fact that your hard drive is partitioned and it need not be.
Copy all your data on the D drive in an external storage device.
Right click on computer, select Manage
Click on disk management
Right click on D and choose Delete volume
Right click on the C partition and choose the volume of measurement. Extend it up to the limit.
Copy the data on your external storage on the largest new C space
Now, you'll have one almost your entire partition 1 TB.
