• Drive hard keeps fills, using CC Cleaner & Deffrag for a few weeks now. I do go down, & then it fills again! Help, please.

  I'm running Vista 64, SP2 and my hard drive keeps filling.

  I used CC Cleaner and Deffrag program for a few weeks now.

  (just the CC Cleaner on its own takes me awhile because I don't want to delete everything I shouldn't)

  I have moved away from home to the office and checked to see if there are "too many connections (?)" just in case it's something in the process.  Honestly, I can't say if there are too many?

  I know that I don't want to lose the ability to remote into my office... so I leave them alone.

  I wanted to delete some 'hidden' files $Recycle... but am concerned that my operation files original files are mixed in the files?

  Is there a way to return to the top... few of the restoration copies?

  AND... How can I stop this from happening?  I spent hours trying to manage it.

  It comes down, then it fills again!

  Help, please.

  After TWO YEARS, someone should be able to give us a step by step, to "reconnect" an external, USB hard drive!  I unplugged and then plugged it, several times, without success.  I seem to have this problem with one of my disks USB, a Toshiba.  Access the drive through files Explorerer, seems to work, even if it is "disconnected". Historical files only has problems. Strange! Could it be the drive itself, or it is plugged in to the USB port?

  I had the same issue this morning and found a solution that worked for me.

  This post helped: Windows - historic community of 8 files windows does not recognize my drive hard iomega

  NOTE:

  -make a backup copy of the files you delete first! (just in case)

  -J' had deleted my old historical records from the files on the ext. HDD, so I lost no data. I can't guarantee that the ancient history of the file will be there if you remove the configuration files, as described below. In my opinion, it shouldn't happen, but since I have not tried, I can't guarantee that.

  After checking my disk for drive errors (none) and update the drivers (not not mandatory), I went to this location of records:

  C:\Users\your user folder\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration

  and remove the four files that were on it. Because they determine the configuration of the file history, when I ran the service once again, I could set up my drive as if it had never been used before. I started historic files, and it lets me choose my hard drive and run the backup as it should.

• PX1237E HARD drive - 1 40 disconnects from the "Windows 2000 Server".

  I have 3 USB HARD disk, 2 are the Toshiba model named, and the other is a Seagate HD on a USB enclosure.

  I put the tree on a server with "200 Windows server" with Sp4 to make copies of security during the night. When I connect I have 3 new units (E, F & G), but on some instant overnight, 2 hard drives of Toshibas disconnect units F and G and does not copy because there is no such thing as units

  I use two disks of password.
  Any problem with windows 200 server, because on the product page only mentioned the windows xp pro and home, but say nothing about windows server.
  Any idea on the problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  so if you have used their password, then this might be the reason why disk´s disconnected. Maybe the operating system simply does not support.
  Remove the password and try to copy the files again to your server.

• Satellite Pro L20 - disk hard keeps spinning down

  Hi, I have recently updated the BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L20, and I noticed that the disk hard keeps spinning down after about a minute, even while typing or surfing on the internet. I checked the power settings Windows XP and have it put on the desk, with the time 'Disable hard drive' set to 5 minutes when it is plugged and 5 minutes on battery (I always use on the same network). I checked the BIOS settings to see if there is something listed there, but there are no settings for hard disk power management in the BIOS.

  Although the turning down of the hard disk does not affect performance, I fear that it may be to focus on rising constant power drive / descent.
  The new version of BIOS is 25 April 06 Windows Bios Update for Satellite L20 (PSL2X), Satellite Pro L20 (PSL2Y) and Equium L20 (PSL2Z)', or a file 2, 20 - WIN.

  I think that it s nothing unusual that the HARD drive keeps spinning down applies none or BONES need the HARD disk activity.
  In addition, the turning down of the HARD drive has no effect from the bottom on the performance of the HARD disk or over the life of the HARD drive.

• Wireless connection keeps disconnecting - Satellite C650 16U

  Hello

  My wireless connection keeps disconnecting frequently and I have to reconnect manually. I don't think that it is a router problem, that this does not happen with the other laptop which is used in my house. Any ideas why this is?

  Thank you

  Hi mate

  I recommend you in Win 7 the power management of the energy saving settings.
  There you can change (disable) WLan Card to save energy.
  It helped in my case.

  Please also check this thread:

  As I have said; power management setting is the key, you must also update the WLan driver!

• Disk space hard keeps being endangered? I am sure that I do not have a virus...

  I've recently updated my Vista to Service Pack 2, and a lot of problems arise.  I've never had these problems with Service Pack 1.

  (1) my hard drive space keeps disappearing.  I used to have 10 GB of free space and now he got up to 400 MBs.  Where is he past?  I have not installed any programs or downloaded viruses.  I've never had this problem until Service Pack 2 has been installed.  I heard people saying delete "restore points" but I've never had this problem with SP1. Why SP2 should change my settings without my consent?  How can I recover my memory disappears?

  (2) update my window is DISABLED.  I never left my computer install updates by itself, because I like to choose what updates I want.  However, I always get 'new' random programs whenever I restart my computer.  Just recently (4 days after I installed SP2) I have a 'maintenance' folder in my Start menu.  I did some research and it said that I had already installed maintenance, but then why he told me it was a 'new program' when I've had it for awhile?

  (3) my battery life went from roughly 15 minutes an hour.  While I understand batteries degrade over time, I highly doubt he would go from 1 hour 15 minutes instantly.  I'm not an engineer so I have no idea how batteries work, but I guess that my autonomy would see a gradual decline.  In addition, I find it very doubtful that my autonomy would diminish much the day of this, I installed SP2. What are the ways for me to reduce the process that SP2 uses so I can save my autonomy?

  Thank you

  Hi 60201

  You can try the following steps and check.

  Step 1:

  You try to run a disk cleanup to remove unwanted files and check if the problem persists.

  For more information, run Disk Cleanup, see the following link:

  Delete files using disk cleanup.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

  Step 2:

  This can also occur if the power options are changed. You can check the power settings.

  Check out the link:

  Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme)

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-create-or-delete-a-power-plan-scheme

  Also check that the size of the hyberfil.sys and pagefile.sys

  If hibernation is enabled, the hyberfil.sys file size will be more.

  You can also check the event viewer to check any recent activity that happens on the computer as well as the performance.
