Hard drive fills up very fast Max to 109GiG. I'm running out of space. What is take up space?

I have a small hard drive 109Gig and there are very few programs that run on it. When I try to search for large file sizes I found in users and windows. Further research in these files does not reveal what is content. Where can I search in an attempt to reduce the space used or should I buy another hard drive? The system was backing for a long time, but recently, I have disabled back upward. I used restore a few months ago. Windows take the 22.7 Gig and users take 11Gig?

Thank you Ken

I think you're right for the size of the disk. It is just too small by today's standards. Fortunately, I have another hard drive which is a direct copy of the computer as a back up. I hope that I can copy my files to a larger drive and solve the problem.

  • Hard drive fills up fast

    Original title: Decreases the memory:

    I have xt pro on my cmp - very little, other than IE8, Word, Excel. Nothing great. Be "topped up" several times with disc 'restore' since the performance was slowing down. Gradually, the HARD drive fills up: after the last reading memory 30 GB charging used; 10 GB free. I think that xp is only about 1 GB - what am I doing wrong?

    Ken

    Thanks for all the suggestions. Tried and thought about them, but made no difference. However, I found the answer:

    When you use the disc to 'restore' every time I was simply stack several operating systems on top of those already here. I have about a dozen versions or more I suspect No. 1 partition. This time, where do my last (I hope) restore today I paid more attention to writing when the options are available on the "formatting" the drive. Now, I completely formatted the Partition No. 1 (where I suspect that all versions of xp are kept) and pressed. Of course, the restoration has worked well and I now only ONE version of XP on my system. The display of 'properties' on the drive C: tells me now that I have less than 2 GB used and 28 GB FREE!

    Result?

    Thanks again for the suggestions - that made me think a little more deeply...

  • HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

    HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

    I want to put in a 60 GB SSD into the CD slot and want to see how fast it will support as this will be used for the Cache

    Thank you

    The published information is not explicit; He says only: SATA for the expansion Bay while the main hard drive Bay expressly says SATA-III. However, given that this isn't just an optical drive Bay, but also a general 'Bay expansion', it is safe to assume it of on the same SATA bus as main drive and is a SATA III interface.

    Data sheet

    6470b is also supposed to have a slot for a WSSD mSATA, but he is not described in the Manual:

    Manual

    Obviously the WSSD would work better for cache but you can use a 60 gig SSD in an expansion bay for both cache adapter. Even if the connection is SATA-II, it will be much faster to work for a cache of acceleration.

    Go to computer stores, get an external hard drive of 1 TB capacity. Ask for one that you can just simply copy and paste to transfer files.

    I have a. Digital WD Elements. 1 TB vapacity. It works very well. No action of fancy, complicated to transfer, just copy and paste or drag and drop files.

    I also use it to make Sysytem Image backup.

    The order of 150Gb 120 GB is coming as a system d (Data), leaving only 30 GB system c which means that I am running out of space. Can I access or connect C to D to allow the hard drive to operate as a whole

    Go to run, type: diskmgmt.msc

    Msc, L.click on drive D:, go to actions, all, select 'Enable', close

    the msc. To add type of 3rd party software/programs, you need to uninstall

    In addition, music, video, photos go D: drive.

    To combine the two partitions, you'd need to boot from the cd to install xp to the menu

    Press r for recovery console, recovery, type: DiskPart in DiskPart, remove

    both partitions, create one, press the key type, ESC: EXIT cd restarts, format &

    Reinstall xp.

    3rd party software can combine the 2 with xp installed, try downloads.com

  • Equium P200D - Question about running out of space on the HARD disk

    First of all, let me say that I am a Silver Surfer and don't know much about how works laptop or where it stores information!
    I don't am not in the least HI - TEC so please be gentle with me.

    I use an older Equium P200d for 1 year with two 40 GB hard drives each.
    My C drive has only 2 GB of memory left available while my E drive still has 30 GB.

    I have only 3.7 GB of programs loaded (according to the research of control panel) and I know that I have 4 GB of music.

    My query is - where is the other 30 GB missing?

    I made the Scandisc option and deleted all the stuff from there and a defragmentation procedure.

    Y at - it searches I can run to find junk I have more need?

    Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.

    Hey Buddy

    If you are using Vista, then you should consider that Vista creates an additional partition on the HARD drive.
    It s hidden and it contains backup files in order to repair the operating system if something goes wrong.

    In addition HARD drive must also contain HARD drive recovery files (image).
    These files are required to recover the laptop HARD drive.

    So the hidden partition and the recovery of HARD drive that could be the main reason why you noticed smaller amount of space available on the HARD disk

  • hard drive fill by itself

    I just bought a hp a6750f with 750 GB HDD 8 GB memory, quad processor works great, but it fills slowly with stuff 2 or 3 concerts a day, I think it's to get it online, CV Tech took control and just delete the temporary files, that is not the problem... I restored to factory settings and now 3 weeks later there are 120 exhausted concerts... I have nothing except a printer on this computer whence all this?  Help, please...

    Probably that Vista in system restore, is set to use a very high % of hard drive space. Most users to be able to limit it manually.

  • My hard drive filled

    My hard drive is full but not because I downloaded large files, and I can't identify it as waste is that fills the disk. How can I clear the space?

    You will see in my previous two answers that everything seems fine, except that I have no idea how the issues have been brought to rights.

    I had run Defragmenter a few days ago, but it made no difference. I was about to follow your advice about system restore etc when I discovered that it was apparently useless.

    My only concern is now that, as I have no idea why the problem arose, I also have no idea how to do to stop this happening again!

    Nevertheless, thank you very much for the advice very detailed.

  • Toshiba 320 GB external HARD drive make my very slow computer

    Hello.

    I bought this product a few weeks ago now, and every time I use it, it makes my computer go tp so slow to the point where I can't actually do something on this subject, due to the fact that everything becomes inadmissible. Also, the rate at which I transfer files to it is also very slow. Any ideas why and what I can do to speed things up a bit?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You suggested that the laptop becomes slowly during the use of the external HARD drive.
    I guess that transfer you a data from the HARD drive internal to the external USB HDD.
    I think that it s not very rare, that the laptop runs slowly during the transmission of the data.
    It depands on the program that runs in the context of the operating system.

    I put t know which interface you use USB2 or USB only, but data transfer depends on the interface.

  • My Toshiba Laptop has 4 GB hard drive it and 56 MB of ram I want to run fast is the lightest whereby it takes less space Windows

    Help me please it is running too slow

    Frankly I'm surprised that you guessed it to install on a 5 GB hard drive, unless you have things backwards and say that you have 4 GB of RAM and a hard drive of 56.  And also, the amount of space that includes any version of Windows has nothing to do with how it performs.  Your CPU and graphics card will determine to a large extent that (assuming that you have 4 GB of RAM, which should be more than enough), and if they are too slow for Windows Vista there is nothing you can do to solve this problem.
