HARD drive shows less space than it actually is.

So, we have an iMac 2010 and it's on Yosemite. We installed Windows 7 earlier on a bootcamp partition and it worked fine. Well, go ahead some time and I try to delete the BootCamp partition to save space as we never use it. Utility disk I would remove it, but it wouldn't let me not resize the OS X partition to recover the 300 GB used Bootcamp. So I did everything I could think of with disk utility and he ended up telling me that it cannot repair the disk and try the recovery disk. I did and he told me that he had to be reformatted as he could not do anything. I moved everything I wanted and it reformatted my El Capitan USB installation off the coast. I thought that this going to fix my problem, but not the whole HARD disk it's only 700 GB instead of 1 TB. It shows no way to resize or whatever it is. Something that I watch shows only 700 GB, but I know very well that it is a 1 TB drive. How can I get the HARD drive to its appropriate size?

Also, the command "diskutil list cs" shows exactly nothing when I try. He said only "No CoreStorage groups of logical volumes found."

Please after the release of

diskutil list

sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

You will be asked your password, that are not displayed to you.

Utility disk and BC Assistant should not be interchanged to manipulate partitions.

    I unwittingly compressed my hard drive to save space. I didn't know that it starts not after that. Restarting the PC, how can I unpack my hard drive to allow it to boot this drive?

    UM Vista came out in 2007, so there is no version of 1996.  If you have the Vista DVD, you can start since that launch a command prompt and run the command to unpack here.

  • Hard drive shows only 32 GB

    Hello

    I own as a HP Pavilion dv6830us laptop w / Windows Vista Home Premium bought a few years ago.  The original WD25 - BEVS hard drive has failed.  I bought a WD Scorpio Black 500 GB WD5000BPKT to replace.  Installed the two recovery discs purchased from HP.  Entering Windows after the restoration, a window popped up and said "unrecoverable error" and prompted me to turn off the laptop.  This would happen whenever I rebooted the computer.  Eventually I realized that this was the program file HP installer which has been the cause, so I managed to access msconfig before the message popped up and disable start-up.  Now I find myself with a Windows installation with absolutely no extra software on this subject.

    That said, I was frustrated, but happy to simply reinstall everything.  Then I discovered that Windows displays the hard drive as 32 concerts, with less of a free concert.  I downloaded the update to the BIOS of HP.  Then I downloaded Western Digital Diagnostics software, and under the physical disk box, it recognizes the model and capacity (500 GB).  Under the logical drive box, it shows the file system NFTS, total space 34,37 GB and 1.05 GB of free space.

    I would like to know how to solve this problem, as this whole process took more than 2 months and honestly, it's been a nightmare.  If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.

    The following Microsoft link should help, please remember when to extend a partition, make sure that you have a backup of all your programs and data first.  There is always the risk that something might fail and with what it is your primary drive, you could lose it all.

    This link is for Win7 but it is very similar to what you would do with Vista:

  • Storage of photos, external hard drive, Dropbox, need space

    Hi, I'm under the Photos to Mac and my computer has 120 GB. I have a lot of pictures and I also TAKE a lot of photos, and I ran out of space. So, I try to find a solution in the future. I'll write a short list of what I've tried so far and I'm subscribed to services, but I hope someone can help me create a system that works in the long term, especially so that my photos and videos are safe and I'll always have more than one backup.

    I have dropbox and download automatic camera, and I also have pictures of Google which stores the version not high resolution of all. I bought a large external hard drive today and copied my library of Photos on it, but now I think... If I connect my iPhone to my computer and it starts automatically upload all my pictures BUT my external hard drive is not connected... where are these pictures? A different photo library? How can I get the new additions on the hard drive?

    Dropbox is a solution? Just copy the entire photo library in dropbox? If so, make new additions in photos automatically the head of this dropbox folder? I have to keep this dropbox folder sync on my computer (in which case... There is not enough space on the hard drive...).

    In addition, the library of photos on the mac is 35 GB, but the mac is relatively new. My iPhotos library of before a 250 GB and I would like a way to combine all these old photos in a library of solid, but with only 120 GB on this computer, how can I manage consolidate all this?

    Finally, go ahead I intend to start using a camera DSLR and editing photos... what kind of storage solution/system I need? I think it would be awkward hanging around external hard drives with libraries on them?

    I hope that these issues are clear, and I would appreciate any input.

    absolutely not - the photo library may not be on DropBox, as a library of operation or a backup - it may be local

    Basically, the answer is that if you want to use high-quality photos, you need a lot more storage Mac - 120 GB is tiny - if you want to make things interesting to improve your storage space

    You can use iCloud photo library with photos optimized on your computer, but can be slow to download and required Internet to make changes

  • HP Envy 860-008na: HARD DRIVE C: no space (main road), but my D: has 1.81 TB?

    Just brought my new PC and was struggling in the game with peaks of lag.

    But after restoreign to factory settings, I noticed that my C: drive has only 117 GB? Where that my D: drive (reprise?) was 1.81... TB!

    C: drive is supposed to be the essential motivation for computer? The PC is new not edited or modified... Ask yourself why this fault/problem and how to fix it.

    Here's a photo of basic while I was looking at why I had no space in C: drive and the delay of the spikes.

    As I was obliged to put games on my D: drive due to lack of space on my C: drive, it could cause a problem with lag spikes that occur?

    Hello

    I'm not a gamer but know game files are large and have to move a lot of graphic data and CPU to run correctly.

    Your new PC comes with a small 128 GB SSD (fast) and a slow 5400 RPM 2 TB HDD.

    So you have an inherent bottleneck of design. Games must be installed on the HARD drive slow or you quickly run out of room.

    The only solution I can see (there may be others) would buy a lot more SSD for the OS volume (C.) Install games on C:, instead of D:. That would eliminate the bottleneck of the data transfer.

    HP Recovery partition and recovery disks/USB can be finicky. You may be tempted to replace the slow HDD with a SSD. It would work, but you may need to buy a 2 TB or SSD of greater. The recovery discs or a USB recovery drive will be used (did you create a set of recovery discs?) to install on the new disk configuration and can choke if the replacement of SSD HARD drive does not match the 2 TB HDD. Increasing the primary disk larger than 128 GB should not adversely impact factory reinstall HP using HP recovery discs or a USB recovery drive...

    I recommend you check the external HARD disk size in disk management.
    Please enter this option right click 'My computer' icon and select 'manage '. Computer Management opens and there you can choose disk management.

    The other possibility is that the drive was badly formatted. I also recommend formatting again. Check if it is possible to create a partition 2 with about 125 GB of space

    Is a hard drive stronger by clicking on a fault? It's not weird scraping noises or anything like that, just the regular clicks, but they are stronger that I'm used to! I would say a good 2 - 3 times stronger than my old laptop. I should talk with the store (I bought only yesterday) or it is part of the design? Thank you.

    I have a HP Pavillion Elite four years old m9500z.  I had a hard drive failure, so I installed a new hard drive.  I did a system repair disc, and then made an image of an external hard drive system.  Everything went very well.  After completed I installed the repair disk, shut down the computer, removed and installed the new hard drive.  The old hard drive was 320 GB and the new drive is 2 TB.  Reinstall it also seemed to go well.  After the relocation was complete I started the computer and everything looked good and has a great.  I checked the 'computer' to see the new hard drive, but it showed the size of the old 320 GB drive.    This computer has Vista and I upgraded to 7, so I did that upgrade disc that is why I made the image of the system.  Any suggestions?

  • Hard drive shows almost full but cannot understand why

    Hello

    My C drive shows me using 565 GB with a total area of 596 GB so I'm close to running out of space.

    Strange thing is that I can't know which uses all the space!

    I looked at the size of all files on the C drive, and what follows is the biggest:

    Program x 86: 32 GB

    Windows: 50GB

    Users: 271GB

    Which makes a total of about 350 GB, this is far from the projection of 565 GB used when I look at the properties of the C drive.

    So, where's the rest?

    I have the list hidden files and I looked at disk cleanup and defragmentation.  I also deleted the files in system restore, but it's all the little things.

    The difference, I'm looking for is huge then where is he?

    Max

    Control Panel / System / Protection system allows you to choose the amount of disk space to use for the Restore Points. I use 5 GB that gives me about 6 points of restoration.

  • Just reinstalled Windows 8, which wiped the drive hard, but now it says my hard drive is using more than half of its capacity, although it should be nearly empty.

    The title says it all.

    I reinstalled windows 8 which apparently erased from my hard drive. After starting my computer upward even once, I noticed that I had free 826GBs of 1.81 on my hard drive (Local disk (c)), even if it should be almost empty.

    I noticed that a folder in the drive Local (c) entitled "Windows.old" which has my old program files that would make account 96GBs of used space. I tried to remove that but he told me that I needed permission from the "SYSTEM".

    I need help with this problem, I still have to put my old files on my computer, which I'm sure that will exceed the alleged free space I have.
