Hanging of CHKDSK?

• CHKDSK hangs in Windows XP

  My pc backup at startup, it is said that he must run chkdsk.  If I let it continue or stop otherwise it and run chkdsk once it is started, chkdsk is suspended in part 2.
  I have no files of interest on this pc, but I would like to continue to use it to watch the video... without this inconvenience.

  Is there a simple way to get around this?  Long I bought this pc opportunity, so I have no system disk and I'm pretty lazy.  I also wonder why the hell a program managed to get errors hangs on what I assume is a mistake.  I mean, decades ago, I wrote a utility disk, check not for Windows, and I was smart enough to code this possibility then.

  Hello Trudyjh,

  Thank you for your message.  I would first go to the website of the manufacturer of your hard drive and download their utility to check for errors on the hard drive to verify that your drive hard not disappeared or is not bad.  Subsequently, we can troubleshoot further.  Please let us know the results so that we can help you further.
  We can't wait to hear back on your part.

• Help! Computer hangs during attempts to complete or defragmentation (MS) (MSE) virus scan or CHKDSK C: /f

  Help, please!  My computer freezes whenever I try to run a full scan or use the MS defrag it came with.  I have an important job who needs to back up, but I'm afraid that I shouldn't be where it is a virus.  I would really appreciate the help.

  Details:

  Windows XP Home Edition
  Microsoft Windows
  Version 5.1 (... Service Pack 3)

  Current system:
  Microsoft Windows XP
  Home Edition
  Version 2002
  Service Pack 3

  Fujitsu Siemens Computers
  Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 CPU
  T7200 @ 2.00 GB of RAM

  Info of current Disk Defragmenter:
  C: NTFS 112 free capacity space 47 GB space 43%
  (Was only 15% of free space at the beginning of the problems, before I removed or reduced the old files)

  Antivirus:
  Originally from Norton 2006, now uninstalled and replaced with the current Microsoft Security Essentials

  Browser: firefox version 3.5.9 (IE too but do not use)

  The story so far:

  FIRST PROBLEM: ACCIDENTS CAUSING SLEEP/HIBERNATE / SCREENSAVER?
  I am back from vacation and turned on my computer.  Soon, he wanted to upgrade me to the latest Firefox (must have been 3.6?).  He may have also updated my windows automatically.  Then whenever the standby/hibernation/standby screen came (not sure what was the culprit), the computer would crash - I would just get a gray screen when I tried to find by moving the mouse.

  'SOLVED' BY:
  I restored the system to a few points saved from before I agreed to install the new firefox.  I also stopped the computer goes on standby or into hibernation.  I couldn't work on how to disable the screen saver.  Standby/hibernation/standby order screen blocks the computer after that, and I took care not to upgrade to firefox 3.6, once again just in case, stay with the version that I was on, but continued to accept upgrades (now on 3.5.9).  I have always been accepting the automatic updates of windows however, because I was told that I should do.

  UNRESOLVED ISSUE: ANTI-VIRUS AND DEFRAGMENTATION DOWN EACH RUN
  So, I now had a more usable computer.  I tried to check virus, but the virus check (Norton, 2006) would be broken whenever I tried to do a full audit.  I analyzed in the MS Defrag tool that came with my computer and I saw that I had 15% free space, so I tried to Defrag.  Defragmentation has also crushed every time, usually at 3%.

  26 January:
  CRASHED ON THESE FILES:
  -Defrag crashed on A0044502.rbf
  -(J'ai remarqué que le nom était semblable à celle de la vérification de virus s'est écrasée avant)
  -Defrag then crashed over the other in a different file type, but I didn't note it (tmp.edb?)
  -Defrag crashed on C:/System volume information/_RESTO~1/RP320/A0045026.rbf (I think that virus check then crashed on this one too)
  -virus scan crashed on A0045030.rbf

  I ran cmd chkdsk_/f, as told to a friend.  He made 3 times and the screen went too fast to see writes said before he started.

  -defragged once again, it crashed on A0045107.rbf

  CLEANUP TO FREE UP SPACE FOR SPRING:
  I then had the end of emergency work, so did not have to try to solve this problem for weeks.  I just don't have the virus scan and did not try to defragment, therefore had no crashes.  When I had spare time, I went through removing unnecessary programs, deleting unnecessary files of old works and by reducing the great graphics work at smaller sizes.  At the time I had finished my rush job and could return to the problem, I got 43% free space.

  Wednesday, April 8:
  BACK TO ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM:
  -J' uninstalled Norton 2006 and then installed Microsoft Security Essentials to see if it would take viruses.  QuickScan revealed no.  Full analysis has crashed every time unfortunately.
  9 April:
  -CHKDSK C: /f or crashed was working incredibly slow (1/2 hour on the same file) both times I tried to do.  Both times it crashed on 66% to check the data of the file (4 of 5)
  SFC - typed term: the black box will Flash up but then disappears so fast, you can hardly see.  Nothing else happens.  I tried several times.
  -J' restarted the computer in "safe mode with command prompt" and tried SFC/scannow and got the following error:
  "Windows file protection could not initialize a scan of protected system files.
  The specific error code is 0x000006ba [the RPC server is unavailable]. »
  -J' rebooted 'safe mode' and typed SFC term.  Same thing happened as has happened before in the windows.
  -J' rebooted 'safe mode' and tried a full analysis of the MSE virus.  After an hour of working, it crashed in this file: C:/System Volume Information/_restore{5C5FC002-5FB5-4560-96DA-E32D8569FB2E}/RP320/A0045038.rbf.  This happened just after I clicked on a tiny with my notes Notepad document, although I don't know if that's what he did or has not already been blocked.  I managed to take a break and he reactivated just before it crashed.  The complete virus check was almost over, guessing 80% to the green bar.
  -J' tried to Defrag in 'safe mode', which soon crushed on C:... A0070595. MSI
  All these accidents April just cause the screen appearing to freeze because the virus check or defrag did not move from the file it says that it was on... then when I would try to stop it, the screen completely freezes so I have to manually shut down.

  Please help me solve this problem!  Should I save my work?  If I back up and there is a virus, then my backup external hard drive could be infected.  But if I do not support, I could lose a lot of work.

  Thank you very much.

  Speedlauncher Adobe is a legitimate program, while orangefirefox.exe presents itself as an infection by the worm on a google search.

  It's a little unusual that Kaspersky would freeze even in SafeMode... perhaps running a chkdsk might help take the files that programs AV and defrag crash on: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

  You may disable the system restore: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310405 and this should get rid of all the restore points and then hopefully no longer break when scanning, but make sure you turn it!

  But sometimes I come across systems that had infections as well as at the end of all the damage that has been caused, it is better just to do a reinstall.

  All my drivers and Windows is up to date. Recent change of system is only that I got a notification via update of windows that there is an update for my Gforce 9800 GX2 graphics card. I have tried to update the driver but had an error, because my current driver was more recent than what was pushing the windows.

• Satellite 2140CDS hang at startup

  The model is a Satellite of 2140CDS with an upgrade of RAM (made at the beginning of 2003) to the maximum capacity of 168 Mb.

  The Windows 98 Second edition has been upgraded to Windows 2000 SR4 and is stable and without significant problems for more than 24 months.

  Last week the following occurred: while in the Win2k startup the computer crashes just after appearing the wallpaper and the arrow of the mouse, which is possible to move for about 5 seconds before the total disconnection. The desktop icons never appear and the Windows taskbar or.

  Trying to figure out if it was a default operating system error, a virus or a HARD drive I did the following:
  (1) tried to start with 2 Linux liveCD distributions ("Feather Linux" and "Knoppix 3.6"), but both hang up after the acmp loading drivers.

  (2) the HARD drive has been subscribed and a vast CHKDSK and VirusScan has been conducted, not meeting any damage or virus (test was made to mount the HARD drive in a case of USB 2.0 on' mobile' external data storage and the tests done in a desktop PC).

  (3) after the tests and re-Assembly of the HARD disk in the 2140CDS, the system would produce the same hang up to the 'office loading phase.

  (4) a new drive was purchased, external formatted in FAT32 and when trying to install Windows 98SE, installation hang just after the initial system tests and reading the HARD disk capacity (the phrase "Windows Setup requires 7340032 bytes availalable your sys ' is usually interrupted like this, or just after the word"available").

  (5) using a BACK boot disk with CD-ROM support appears to be stable, but the number and type of operations performed from the disk of the book were not many or too complex.

  (5) when disconnection occurs, the only way to restart is through the reset button or the button stop (Ctr Alt Del does not work). The CD Rom drive stops responding also (door does not open).

  (6) thinking about the possibility of a corrupted BIOS Advanced Power Managent or damage, I flashed the BIOS with the 'CHGBIOSA' of the Toshiba utility (same version that it has been installed in the laptop computer: ACPI BIOS version 7.50), but the problem persisted.

  As you can see, I ask for advice, because there have been quite some "basic stuff" I tried already, and as my "repertoire" of tips ends, I have no option then to ask your advice.
  Will be looking forward to hear from you.
  Thak you.

  Hi Luis,.

  Nice detailed explanation!

  What is Mode safe? Have you tested it?
  (Presig F8 key when W2k is startig up)

  You connect with a user or did the Windows boot directly on the desktop at boot?

  When you work with users, try to log on as another user and wait for what takes place? If you have no installed user profiles, try Safe Mode and create a new one!

  When safe mode or another user is connected and the office is responsible, the maintenance needs to be done.

  Try this and keep me posted!

• Start up hangs before login in screen after the Windows updated 10/26/2010

  Before going to bed, I decided to install all Windows Update after they have been downloaded (don't know what they are).  I do not download anything at night or for the past weeks.

  Yesterday, I went to turn on my laptop and it could be block/gel just before the log on screen and after departure upward. My pointer doesn't move or anything.  Graphics seem to have stopped and remained black with only the pointer that appears.

  I decided to do a reboot to safemode (all 3) and it hangs at ahcix64.sys.  I also tried a recovery back to a month ago and it would be dismissed. (don't remember error number, but will update when I'm back on what it was).

  I tried to use KNOPPIX to get all my fails, and which also failed during startup.  I would rather a restore of the entire system.  Please let me know if this happens to you.

• XP hangs at mup.sys on startup

  MY DESKTOP FREEZES AT MUP. SYS ON STARTUP.  ANY IDEAS ON WHAT IS THE CAUSE?

  I think what AreilMT is getting in the light of the HARD drive blinks is the following:

  If you have a chkdsk scheduled to run at the next reboot (by responding affirmatively to the question, if you choose to run a chkdsk at the next restart), or if XP finds that any volume on your system that has been marked 'dirty', chkdsk will run when you restart.

  If you start in Mode without failure and chkdsk begins to run, the last thing you will see on the screen is mup.sys having been loaded... then the chkdsk will run in full.  Your system seems to be stuck.

  If the system appears to be hung on mup.sys and the HARD drive light flashes, it could be that the chkdsk command does what it is supposed to do or what you told it to do - check the volumes for consistency.  If this is the case and the HARD drive light flashes, you have to wait outside and which could take many, many hours depending on the size of your drive HARD, how many things about him and what chkdsk is to do.  Let it sit overnight if you must, but be patient.

  If this is NOT the case, then I suggest you power down, unplug everything except the keyboard and see if you can boot mode safe with only a keyboard attached.  If you have a PS/2 keyboard to use, I would use that instead of a USB keyboard.  A USB device or faulty driver can sometimes appear to hang on mup.sys to the system.

  It is also important to understand that the problem is not with mup.sys (it has already loaded) - it's what comes after mup.sys that could be the problem (if it is not running chkdsk).

  This is why there is zero logic when people see this scenario and begin to try to figure out how to replace mup.sys - that is not the problem, since it has already loaded.

  The next thing to load that sometimes causes problems is often the drivers keyboard and mouse - especially USB keyboards and mouse devices (mouse), therefore, you must unplug everything - especially USB devices.  You only need a keyboard plugged to press F8 to display the Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode and a PS/2 keyboard must be used if you can get your hands on one.

• Impossible to cancel the chkdsk or starting order

  Because of disk errors, I ran an update to Windows XP Pro in the automatic recovery console, but now it will not complete the boot. It keeps recycling back to chkdsk and I am unable to cancel it.

  There is no disk error more, chkdsk has finished several times and switches it accepts is/p/r.
  I can't access autochk and /k and /x is not available.

  I have no command prompt or access the windows start up what can I do?

  I don't know what that means:

  Because of disk errors, I ran an update to Windows XP Pro in the automatic recovery console

  Looks like the volume (by car) where your XP installed was marked "dirty" and that can happen because of a power failure, abnormal shutdown, restart aborted, etc..  One of these events?

  It sounds like that especially if when you start using safe and your system appears to hang on mup.sys.

  Loading XP, it automatically checks each volume and will automatically run a chkdsk on Sales volumes with error correction.

  Your system is not blocked on mup.sys because it already has loaded--it is hung up on what come after mup.sys and if your volume is marked "dirty", i.e. when XP will run CHKDSK with correction of errors on the volume.  It will look like it is hung on mup.sys, but this isn't the case.

  Most of the time when this happens, Microsoft committed Support Engineer 'experts' as you give instructions on how to replace your mup.sys, but that is just another of their ideas of wild goose chase that will waste your time for that is not the problem.

  Take a look at your drive access light HARD and if it flashes or you can hear the disc system 'work' then you know that chkdsk is running and do something and that could take a time l-o-n-g depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what chkdsk finds to do.  If this is the case, your best bet is to wait outside and that could take several hours.  Do not interrupt, power down, pull on the plug etc. because that could just make things worse (and be me how you got here in the first place).  You have to wait.

  There is also no command to run, no changes to the registry, or something else that clears the dirty bit (more wild goose chase ideas).  Only a chkdsk with error correction clears the dirty bit, and he cannot do it the first time.  When your system finally ends and boots to the desktop, you can watch the chkdsk log to see what happened and also to check the dirty bit (you can do that from the Recovery Console) and if it is still dirty, chkdsk will run again the next time that you restart the system.

  In these situations, I want to run CHKDSK with the XP Recovery Console error correction so you can look and see what he does and sometimes that's what you have to do, but he might be able to take care of himself, if you allow me.

  There are some things kludgy you could do to work around this problem, but it would be better to let the chkdsk run and difficulty of all what it takes difficulty because he thinks something needs fixing.

• Computer hangs during the transfer of 16 jpeg files.

  Recently, I replaced my Toshiba Satellite M40 PATA hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP SP3.  Subsequently, I find transfer more than 16 jpeg files (approx. 1 MB each) at the same time causes the computer freezes.  I have to shut down the computer and restart and sometimes the computer is 'always' Hung/frozen after restarting Windows (mouse move no keys, ctrl + alt + delete work does produce no action) which necessitated my stop down and restart the computer again.

  This problem occurs during various methods of transfer-to transfer pictures from my card SD using the scanner and camera or Nikon transfer software, trying to copy and paste pictures from the SD in an empty folder, and the problem occurs even when I try to spend more than 16 images from a folder in another.  I tried to transfer images from a folder with the computer in safe mode and the problem occurs when I try to transfer a little more than 16 images at once.  (my SD card, has about 60 images on that.)  There is no error message or any other message - the computer simply crashes.

  I did not have this problem before reinstalling XP.  There seems to be no limit to the size of the transfer that I could perform. I can't wait to find out how I can remedy this problem.  I am familiar with writing code, check the registry, etc, but I'm good enough following the simple procedures.  Thank you for your help.

  Original title: file transfer causes XP to hang, no error message

  Hi RobertMorouney,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  In addition, how are you doing today?

  You have a problem with the computer hung on the transfer of files on Windows XP. This can be very frustrating for you, and I appreciate the efforts you have put in. Let us work together as a team and try to get this fixed number.

  Method 1-

  Step 1-

  Trying to transfer files in Mode without failure.

  Check out the link-

  To start the computer in safe mode

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true

  Note: Make sure that you get the computer back to Normal Mode after performing all the troubleshooting steps.

  Proceed to step 2, if the problem does not occur in Mode without failure.

  Step 2-

  I recommend you perform the clean boot.

  Placing the computer in a boot minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must perform the steps in the article-

  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  Note: Make sure that get you the computer to a Normal startup after performing all the troubleshooting steps.

  Method 2-

  I wish that you run a Chkdsk command on the computer.

  Check out the link-

  How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265#Method1

  Note: The Chkdsk command will try to fix bad sectors on the hard drive. All the data on these sectors may be lost. The computer could go to a State no boot as well. Proceed at your own risk.

  We know if you need help. We will be happy to help you. We, at tender Microsoft to excellence.

  Thank you.

• CHKDSK is verifying free space crashes

  Urgent

  someone has a suggestion as to what I can do to recover the computer in normal Windows. It seems it will work forever. Operating system is Windows Pro - 64

  Hi Richard,

  1. Since when are you facing the issue?

  2. do you have the Windows XP installation CD?

  3 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

  Depending on the capacity, the amount of data on your HARD drive and what chkdsk finds to do, it could take a while and appear to hang when it works.  If you have an access HDD LED indicator and it flashes, it most likely does a job on the hard drive.

  Chkdsk runs when XP think to check the hard disk for any bad sector, or if you chose to do.

  You need to see what the report of chkdsk to say one time run automatically.

  You should look there for the chkdsk log and no problems after running chkdsk .

  To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on Start, run and in the box, enter:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  If you are not able to start the computer in normal mode, I suggest you to do a hard reset. Press the power button for 5 to 10 seconds. The computer shuts down. Now, press the power button to start the computer and press F8 when the computer starts. Select safe mode from the advanced boot menu and click on enter.

  If you are able to boot into safe mode, and then click Start, click Run, type cmd. On the command prompt, type chkdsk/r

  This will check for any bad sectors on the hard disk.

  Once done restart the computer.

  Important: even if running chkdsk on the drive if any bad sectors are found, chkdsk attempts to repair this sector and if all data on this sector it could get lost.

  See also:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265

  If you are able to run Chkdsk from safe mode, I also suggest you to back up all important data.

  Hope this helps and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.

• My drive check hang up

  My drive check hang up after about 77% phase 5

  Elizabeth23 is correct - according to the arguments to the command chkdsk.

  Here are a few items:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457122.aspx

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/187941

  I don't remember chkdsk never hang up forever (but it could I guess).

  It may appear to be hung and full percentages may even go back but it always end with some results.

  It takes about 3.5 hours to run chkdsk on a my 1 TB drives (this is why I rarely do) and the duration depends on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume, the speed of the system and what chkdsk is to do.  Even with nothing to do, it takes more hours.

  In the food good old days, MS says this about chkdsk (not really too apply today):

  If you use chkdsk /f on a drive or drives for very large (for example, 70 gigabytes) with a very large number of files (for example, millions of files), chkdsk may take a long time (for example, over several days) to complete.

  If the HARD disk continues to blink, chkdsk is something, then wait outside.

• Windows XP explorer.exe keeps hanging, freezing and crashing

  Recently installed the new copy of Windows XP SP2 on a new SSD and updated to SP3. My old hard drive is used to store the data now. I also have an external hard drive. I have 4 GB of RAM installed (I know Windows uses only about 3).

  The problem I have is that whenever I try to transfer files, transfer files slows down a lot. I could transfer a 60 MB file with extension .db for my external hard drive on the internal storage drive and the file transfer will tell 10 seconds to 20 seconds remaining, and it takes forever. If I cancel the file transfer, sometimes, I'm unable to close windows Explorer, or change files or right click on the files. They can do a text "not responding" appear next to the title. Usually, my Start menu and task bar becomes disabled/inaccessible. I can't click on things, do a right click or use the windows key. Sometimes I have to force quit the explorer.exe, and sometimes it hangs on its own. The start menu disappears and if I have "explorer.exe" Task Manager, it opens a new window of Solution Explorer, but I have to restart to get everything working again.
  For my SSD, I use Samsung magician and have disabled disabled prefetcher, of indexing and my samsung magician set power settings. I updated the Intel controller for readers, and "Write cache" is enabled in the strategies of discs. I also tried to switch off the Protection of data for explorer.exe running, but it does not work and currently I have DEP on for everything. This suspension occurs sometimes, simply browsing through Explorer. I installed a 3rd party file 'ExplorerXP' Manager but met the same problem there. I also ran chkdsk and Defrag the interal storage disk. All my services are at their default settings.

  Thanks for the reply. I have only the OEM drive, so I can't run the System File Checker. I have run chkdsk, and everything came back fine. Regarding anti-virus, I was using windows security essentials.

  I went ahead and bought a new hard drive. I backed up my files on external hard drive, course deleted my SSD and formatted the embarrassing internal drive. Installed the new hard drive and installed the new OS on the SSD.
  With the new drive and installed former player, I noticed that still send me in trouble. It works, but is very slow when copy/transfer of large files. I unplugged, unless you know how I could make a use - for example to keep more small files less than 30 MB on it.

  The work of Windows Explorer is to consider what is in the disk and its directory and present this information to the user.  If the disk or the disk directories are corrupted, it confuses Windows Explorer and can lead to lock.  Whenever Windows Explorer crashes, the first step should be to achieve a check disk (chkdsk) with the /f or/r option.

  "How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

  Check disk can usually take hours depending on the speed and the size of the hard drive.  If corruption is present, it may take more time.  Plan on execution of the audit during the night or when you won't need your computer for awhile.  In addition, if corruption is present, files may be lost.  If possible, save what you can before you run the disk check.

  Hope that helps!

• Hanging Windows desktop and does not, online or off the power. I have to use the task mgr constantly to "shake" the windows to startin

  Original title: Hello I have an xp pro sp3 dell dimension 2400. Hanging of Windows desktop and does not, online and off.

  Hello I have an xp pro, sp3, the dell dimension 2400. IE 8 for the internet.  I use McAfee through my SP which is AT & T. Windows Office suspended and does not, online or off the power. I have to use the task mgr constantly to "shake up" windows start and sometimes, it doesn't work anymore and I have to restart.

  I have used all sorts of anti-virus programs and can ensure that it is NOT a virus. It is not my regestry, all updates are current. I keep a clean machine.

  I have xp of the process and have nothing wrong.

  Sometimes my icons will disappear out of my office, but always come right away. Other times, I get a message that says stop running this script. a script on this page slows down IE run slowly. It is for the most part on Face Book, BUT sometimes also on other sites, like google mail. Yahoo mail, groups and news.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you! :>)

  The image (it back up to an external drive as full image) and reinstall Windows XP, update, drivers and everything.  Install any plugins that you NEED to do all that you see here that the bat hurt.  If the problem no longer exists, something has gone wrong with your system from before (corrupt files or your cleaning is not as complete as you think) and if the problem persists - probably something to do with the material. In all cases, you can return to the image if you wish.

  To the extent wherever it is the registry, I must ask, * how * you have come to this conclusion?  Not that I'm defending something - I was wondering what you did to decide who is not your registry database?  (Side: I agree with you.)

  That's what * I * would call cleaning and optimization of a Windows XP machine:

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

  The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

  Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

  You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  Do a house cleaning and the dust of this hard drive:

  You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

  Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 9 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

  If you are comfortable with the stability of your system, you can delete the uninstall of patches which has installed Windows XP...

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

  Now that your system is generally free of malicious software (assuming you have an AntiVirus application), you've cleaned the "additional applications" that could be running and picking up your precious memory and the processor, you have authorized out of valuable and makes disk space as there are no problems with the drive itself and your Windows Update components are updates and should work fine - it is only only one other thing youpouvez wish to make:

  Get and install the hardware device last drivers for your system hardware/system manufacturers support and/or download web site.

  If you want, come back and let us know a bit more information on your system - particularly the brand / model of the system, you have - and maybe someone here can guide you to the place s x of law to this end. This isn't 100% necessary - but I'd be willing to bet that you would gain some performance and features in making this part.
