• HARD drive is full, but only be able to view the OS, applications and data. Need help to find out what else takes place.

  I am running a Compaq nx 7400 and Windows Vista Business edition. My HARD drive is 66.6 GB. PROG 7.63 files. Windows 9.61. 19.3 user data. 36.54 total.

  Can someone help me, please!

  Hello Falcodriver,

  Thanks for the return of the answer!  I have included a link below with a similar question.  It could be the system restore or backups that use the extra space.  I hope this link helps!

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

  1. By clicking on the Start button to open Disk Cleanup , on all programs, accessories, click System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.

  2. In the Disk Cleanup Options dialog box, choose whether you want to clean your own files only or all files on the computer. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. If the disk cleanup: drive selection dialog box appears, select the hard disk you want to clean and then click OK.

  5. When you have finished select the files you want to delete, click OK, and then click on delete files to confirm the operation. Disk Cleanup on delete all unnecessary files from your computer.

  The other Options tab is available when you choose to clean up the files of all users on the computer. This tab includes two additional ways to free disk space even more:

  • Programs and features. Open programs and features in Control Panel, where you can uninstall programs you no longer use. The column size in programs and features shows how much disk space each program uses.

  • System Restore and shadow copies. Guests delete you all but the most recent restore point on the disc.

    Use system restore to return your system files to an earlier point in time, restore points. If your computer is running normally, you can save disk space by removing the previous restore points.

    In some editions of Windows Vista, restore points can include previous versions of files, called the shots and backup images created with Windows complete PC Backup. This information will also be deleted. For more information about system restore, search Windows Help and Support 'system restore.

• Replace a hard drive in dv6 but is not completed the installation phase

  I replaced my hard drive with a disks recommended by an expert from HP in this forum, and he seemed fine. After starting with my #1 recovery and loading of each disk when you are prompted, I got the final guest/message: "preparation of the recovery is complete. Remove the system recovery media. Once the computer is restarted, the installation of recovery process will begin... Support on continue restart the computer. "When I hit the"Continue"button, the screen went black as if it has been restarted. But instead, a black screen with the HP logo in the centre appeared, with the text: "Press ESC for Boot Menu" in white letters in the lower left corner. Waited about half an hour, and then you press the ESC key, but it changed nothing. Same screen HP. And that's all - nothing else has happened. I left it on all night, thinking perhaps that it takes time to get there, but in the morning, the same screen was there and my phone was hot as if in use. So I turned it off right there. What would not, and that I should try now?

  Turns out that I don't need to download the Microsoft Windows software and then struggle to find the right drivers, thank God. My recovery discs works perfectly after all.

  Having read tons and tons of forum posts about this problem, I finally found a solution that worked really - posted by another user, GoodTimes81 (thanks!). This solution is pasted below (with numbers and an additional note added by me):

  (1) put the recovery disk #1 in and

  (2) when the Recovery Manager screen loads, you will get a few options, but the one you want is the command prompt (which appears after you select "Run a computer check.")

  (3) in the command prompt, I typed bootrec.exe/fixmbr, you press on enter and waited it says the operation completed successfully.

  (4) I typed bootrec/fixboot and then you press on enter and again waited until he said the operation has completed successfully.

  (5) after having done that I left the command line, restarted my computer and waited until my recovery disk #1 loaded up again.

  (6) then, I chose the recovery system to the Recovery Manager screen and went through the process of insertion of disks 1 to 4.  When the 4th disc is complete, it says remove the recovery disc and press on continue, which I did, then it restarts, except that this time it restarted and actually started the installation and facilities it is supposed to do and has completed the recovery process.
  _________

  The other user said these steps solved the problem for her, and they could work for you. Finally, they worked for me, except after step 5, the recovery disk #1 would not load again. I received an error message (the black screen, white letters) mentioning a problem of location startup (sorry, that I did not write down exactly what he says). I pressed the button power to restart, but got the same error message.

  So I pressed the button to power again but this time, you press F11 repeatedly until I had a menu of options. The option to boot was F9, then I pressed F9 and selected "CD/DVD player" (which I had already done elsewhere earlier in the process, but maybe it had reset after entering the command request?) and then restarted again.

  This time, it worked, and I was back in step 6 above. Load the discs one at a time (note: I have 7 discs instead of the 4 mentioned by another user), and after that the disc was done and I got the prompt to "Press continued to restart", it restarted and he proceeded to load all the software, drivers, etc as it is supposed to. Yay!

• What to do when the hard disk is full, but is not

  I have installed a larger hard drive, installed all my files from a backup disk and now I get the message that my disk is full.what is the cure

  What to do if everything you do when you get this message?

  It is not completely unknown for an error message give wrong information about his cause.

  What process did you use to restore the backup?

  If, for example, you backed up and restored as a full score then the restored partition can be the same size as the original, even if there is space on the disk to expand it.

• Database pogram worked under Windows XP but does not work under Vista

  I have a piece of third party software that I bought in 2002 is based on MS Access. It is a program of inventory control with a number of predefined data entry forms and reports. Initially, he worked under Windows 2000 and continued running when I upgraded to Windows XP. However, after the upgrade to Vista, I get the error message "the Microsoft Data Access components are not found on your system. These must be installed to the program works correctly. "I've updated to Office 2002 to Office 2007 to try to solve the problem, but without success.

  Are there other components of access or other software that I can download to keep this work programme (the original third-party supplier is no longer in business).

  Furthermore if this third party access program is a "module compiled access", and then upgrade to Access 2007 will not help. You may be able to connect to the old Access db to Access 2007, but then you have to write all the modules to allow the use of the program.

  If the program is not a compiled module in Access 2007, you must change the vba modules to be complient with your installed version of access

• hard drive went and HP said not included in the warranty?

  I'm stumped.

  My computer would not start.

  HP now tells me that it is not included in the warranty, since it must have had spilled water on it, or dropped.

  This is not true.

  He has simply stopped working on me.

  How can they be sure that it was not a mechanical problem?

  They told me to call customer service, but the number they gave me 866-442-7029 is not correct.

  What should I do now?

  Well,.

  Finally, we have the bottom of things.

  After agreeing only not treatment of me the gift to the 866-684-3620 (I refused to accept that it is a failure due to misuse and pay the fee), it tells me that there is nothing he can do to help me more.

  "You want me to fully waive the fee and I can't do it."

  So, I asked if there was someone else, I can speak to, superior to him.

  He then "climbed the case", and I got a call a day later, Eric, whose callback number was 877-917-4380 (unit 88). It turns out that Eric is a real, American HP customer service agent. He reviewed the notes and me (hope you're sitting) says:

  Of course, the guarantee is covered and there was no user caused damage.

  The reason I received misinformation of donation to this other number was that I asked that they also return me damaged the old hard disk (that I can try to get the data off it... see this article: http://www.geekyprojects.com/storage/how-to-recover-data-from-a-broken-hard-drive/ )

  )

  and since (the hard drive broke his back) is not included in the warranty, I was being charged for an out of warranty service.

  !!!

  I told Eric that Don does nothing of the sort. He told me that the damage to the car has been documented as being caused user and was therefore not in the warranty.

  Eric told me that misunderstood gift probably notes.

  (Strange thing is that people in India or in as much that the HP number 800-474-6836, also said that the damage is not included in the warranty and I have to pay for it. When I pressed them to find out why this is so, they quoted me the number of 866-684-3620.)

  In any case, I haggled a bit with Eric and he was quite kind to put in a special request that the repair and the former player returned to me with the machine (remember, they throw out otherwise). Indeed, it has been, and I am always grateful.

  Just a couple of points.

  (1) the gift of first wanted to charge me $270 for the new disc repair. When I refused, he says can "take labor costs on and just charge me for parts... $180. Well, google it. Road costs about $40. How honest is that?

  (2) I called this number 866-684-3620 the next day and said the gentleman who responded (this time it's Mark, not Don) what happened. In my innocence, I told him I'm relaying it so that the next time someone asks the old rear drive (I guess his commune... who wants to kick back all their data), you tell them 'it was a damaged caused user. " Well, Mark told me that he couldn't care less and would not do anything with the information that I just gave him. Would not relay it to anyone.

  Later, I realized that the number of 866-684-3620 is not HP, but the number for people to Quanta Computer, which are a company who perform repairs for HP. clearly, it is in their interest to do a repair and to be paid by the owner of the laptop, not HP. (HP does not pay $180 to replace a hard drive that cost me the retail $40!)

  Bottom Line: Don't download jostled by the people of 866-684-3620. Ask that the case "degenerate." You will get a HP person and this time an intellegent and speak English.

  For other examples of complaints of people buffeted by staff at 866-684-3620 (Quanta Computer), just google

  866-684-3620.

  At the end of the day, however, I would like to thank Eric and also HP, to fix my computer and the hard drive back.

  (By the way, the best place to get the HDD replacement PCB is: http://www.onepcbsolution.com/ .) Change the pcb often allows you to recover your data.)
