Hard drive full no reason disk space

I just had a dv6 4 weeks ago and it has more than 600 GB of hard drive and now I only have 1.27 MB left. I have no idead how it happened. There is no way I have the programs/software that take a lot of space. Help, please

Hi DavidPK,

I actually had a friend look into this, for me also and I found the solution through this connection. I downloaded another file that showed me exactly what file it was. It was a file I created the other day. Not sure why it was on 500GBs but I removed it and everything seems fine and I know where to look in the future.

Thank you very much for your help.

  • can I use an external hard drive to increase the disk space and memory on xp?

    I am considering an external hard drive of 1 TB to trasmet all files on the computer. There is little hard drive space and memory left. Can I use the external hard drive free space and can it will be installed via USB and use my operating system?

    You can use the external hard drive to transfer your data from your internal hard drive.  Cannot move system files (such as Program Files, Windows and swap files) well.  Looks like your use of the word 'memory' made reference to disk space - it normally refers to which an external drive would not affect RAM.  If you mean disk space, however, you can certainly free SPAC drive this way.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • HARD DRIVE FULL! .... CAN'T FIND WHY?

    I got a new laptop turned off a friend for Christmas. He said that he cleaned everything, but after the transfer of some files from my old hard drive, photos and music for a total of 5 GB, I noticed the hard drive had used 81 GB. I searched all although the files looking for a reason why so much space had been used and I couldn't find anything either. not even installed programs came close to that kind of room. Is there something that I can have over looked or a way I can list each file and look at the sizes? or just something coz the thing is close to being complete and I only just got the thing.

    Thank you

    Yep all the way to the last step, return nothing. It looks that he has already done this.

    I have no idea, im thinking just wiping completely and at nine, didn't really want to do but yer.

  • Hard drive full of reports of errors of AV software uninstalled.

    Recent update is a problem with the sound, as in the total lack of it. In the meantime, I improve my Kaspersky IS 2010 AV software, after you have uninstalled Kaspersky 7. Annoyed by his problem, I restore the computer to a restore before installation point, thinking that I can reinstall Kaspersky 2010 thereafter. It follows a constant series of warnings saying my AV software has stopped working, and my hard drive (72GO, with 18 GB of rescue) filled in a few minutes. Best advice?

    It is a Kaspersky problem and not a problem of Vista.  You should contact the http://support.kaspersky.com/support or better http://usa.kaspersky.com/support/consumer-contact.php to help with this problem.  They will need your registration number.  We do not know what generates messages or how to stop it (but probably some files remain despite the restoration system - either the new facility prior installation).  There may be a special removal tool to uninstall the product, you need to use to do it properly (because SOMETHING generates messages and it's certainly Kaspersky) - and there is: http://usa.kaspersky.com/support/home/208279463/ (which goes far in explaining the reason of this problem).

    Since he filled out your drive with these messages, there is no way to re - install the product (there is apparently no space) to get messages to stop and then it would be a simple matter to locate and delete (or maybe this is not simple stuff – I don't know this particular AV product).  But you can run the removal tool, and perhaps stop messages (assuming that the tool works when the program has already been partially or almost totally uninstalled).  But it is a matter for their tech support people.

    In short, you need to talk to Kaspersky to fix this.  If they're doing their thing and there are tasks that are related to Vista and you need some help with that, so feel free to post back and we'll do our best to help (but provide us a summary of what they did and what they said should be done).

    Sorry we can not help you more, but it's really a problem to Kaspersky and they need to help you to solve.

  • System hard drive, taking 100 GB of space filling

    I've had my laptop HD to 320 for about a month. Running Windows 7 Pro on a Lenovo ThinkPad T500. Intel core 2 duo T9600, 4 GB, 64-bit

    I have 140 GB of files stored on its hard disk, but lately he has only demonstrated 30 GB space. The system takes about 150 GB of hard drive space and eat another GB or two every day (even if sometimes they come back).

    Here is what I tried:

    -Ran Norton, Avast and Malwarebyte s analyses - deleted some small cookies, but no real virus found by one of them.

    -Disabled the system restore, got about 3 GB back.

    -Checked disk defragmentation - all very good.

    -Ran the cleaner disc and CC Cleaner, deleted a few hundred MB of Temp files, but obviously not 100 GB of value.

    --Also conducted an audit of system long.

    -Have used programs like space Sniffer and JDisk report to check disk allocation, size of use - all say that my files are only 140 GB.

    -Have backed up on external hard drive, so it is safe for all.

    Obviously, the next step seems to be to wipe everything clean and re - install the operating system, but of course, I got like this to be a last resort. So a last check to see if there is an easier explanation miss me.

    Thank you all for the suggestions. Last week, not more disk space hard been mysteriously ate, but I still cannot be sure how get lost space back (other than re - install). Disk scanners say that about 120 GB hard disk are deposited with / assigned to 'unknown '. But at least the bleeding is stopped - now just to see if I can return the leg... Thanks again for the help!

  • How to install a new hard drive and create recovery disks before installing the new drive?

    HP Pavilion Dv5 - 2077 cl/entertainment laptop
    Product #: WQ799UA #ABA
    Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello-

    So for a while now, I get a blue screen randomly, popping up all the time and some time, who is going to "clear my physical memory" or something and then restart after like 30 seconds. I posted in the forums, once it all started and support told me to run tests and finally told me that my hard drive has been the reason for these constant errors. Then I backed up everything, in anticipation of a real accident.

    I'm about to order a new hard drive from Newegg.com, and I would like to know if it is difficult to replace a hard drive in a laptop, or if I should have Geek Squad do it for $50. In addition, I don't think I have the disk for the operating system that came with my computer, how do I order that HP and how much is it?

    And, last but not least, is there a message or a video with instructions on how to install a hard drive and operating system?

    Here is the hard drive Im currently looking, if could let me also know if this would be my laptop and if it's a good idea that would be great:

    Thank you very much.

    Yes, that's exactly what you do

    On my G62-340US, I just had to replace the hard drive. I did 4 recovery disks when it was new. Now restore the recovery discs 3 ran, but will not be the 4th disk. The 4th information located anywhere without having to buy a new set? Where can I buy a single disc?

    Hello:

    As far as I know, you would have to buy a whole series of new.

    But, if you can read all 25 characters of the product key of W7 on the bottom of your laptop, I have a free solution to install a simplified version of W7 using the code the product key on your laptop.

    Here's how...

    Download the ISO file from W7 Home Premium 64 bit from the Microsoft link below.

    http://MSFT.digitalrivercontent.NET/win/X17-58997.ISO 2147483647 English Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 X 17 - 58997.iso

    Make sure that you got the file from xx GB 3. integers download, in rare circumstances, you get a full notification of download, but you do not receive the entire file to download.

    After you download the ISO file, you can burn it to a DVD using the ISO file burn option on your DVD burning program, or you can use this tool to transfer the ISO to a flash USB DVD or 4 GB drive.

    The tool also performs the bootable media.

    Then go to the care of your laptop and driver page for available software and drivers that you need.

  • Satellite Pro C660-1LR - new HARD drive but no recovery disk

    I need help for my son who is the Satellite Pro C660 1LR laptop.

    In this portable hard drive is completely dead, I have not created a disk of recovery for this system of portable computers.
    I bought a new hard drive that is installed... However, as you guessed it I have no access to reinstall an OS, this laptop works on windows 7.

    I'm not really tech savvy so if someone can advise me please do explain to the fool proof format! I try to avoid having to buy something expensive.

    > I'm trying to avoid having to buy something expensive.
    Problem is that you don't have many options in this regard.
    If you want to have the factory again settings you must install recovery disc. You can order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx of course is not free, but, in my opinion, without a doubt the best solution.

    You can buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version. You must purchase a valid license for it.
    In this case, you must install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities for more than one by one.

    Just in case you can get this installation of Microsoft and the free license you can save money.

    Believe me, the best solution is the original recovery disk command.
