  • My hard drive is full

    My hard drive is full. Can I move files from the external hard drive on a hard disk without causing damage? Or do I have to add more space to my PC. How would (rookie) best install more space on mine. I would like to learn.
    Thank you

    Hello

    Yes, you can move the data files on an external hard drive. You can also add a new disk
    the computer - easier to a PC than a cell phone (even if the two can be made).

    If you want to move a program installed, not just the data, you must uninstall
    and then re-install the new disk.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    Run DiskCleanup - start - all programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Cleanup

    You may want to transfer some data, images or documents on removable media such
    as the USB keys, USB (my choice) or even CD/DVD drives (make multiple copies if
    the use of these).

    -----------------------------------------------------

    Info:

    System restore usually holds 15% of disk space and updates that are necessary for running computer
    consume even more. Backup - Options of recovery and even MS updates and those of HP, Dell
    or similar manufacturers use the space if your charging system. There are also overhead for the readers are not
    format to their maximum capacity.

  • How to access the disk HARD recovery from command line?

    Hello.

    I have a little trouble with my toshiba Satellite. My system crashed and I forgot to create the system recovery dvd.
    I can't access the "Toshiba HDD Recovery" when I start from another DVD Windows-7, but io accesses the recovery of HARD drive on drive D: with the command line. Is it possible to start the drive HARD recovery manually?

    Hi there everyone,

    I have a problem with my laptop start-up where windows can sometimes load and run, but other times I gives me the option to "Repair Windows" or "Start Windows normally".

    I got the message "boot device found" or "Please install and opertaing system."

  • Windows 7 upgrade failed - disk HARD recovery does not work

    I just received my Windows 7 upgrade disc, followed the procedure and he managed to upgrade Vista 64 bit for Windows 7 32 bit! Some drivers also seem to, were charged more than once.

    I tried to do a system restore from the recovery of HARD drive partition - and it won't!

    Can someone, please?

    Hello

    Drive HARD recovery does not work because Win 7 ran the Boot Manager and maybe the HDD partition has been affected.

    I guess you want to roll back to Vista preinstalled Toshiba.
    I think in your case, only the recovery disc will help you.

  • Satellite M200 Vista shows that the HARD drive is full of 98%

    This problem showed about 2 months ago the system started running slowly and after a bit of research, I went to computer and found he showed that the HARD drive was full of 98%. Then I went and disabled the feature of shadow copy that reached about 3 Gig. After that, the performance was still hurt, so I decided to do a system restore. All reformatted once was good again until a week ago, and the same problem came back once again.

    This laptop is running Vista Home Premium SP1, 120 Gig drive HARD, Kaspersky Anti-virus, it has very limited connection to the Net, as it is mainly used to store and transfer music on an Ipod (20 GB of music).

    Any thoughts? Maybe a hardware failure?

    Thanks in advance.

    Craig.

    Hardware failure is very likely, since you are clearly able to access your hard disk without problem.
    Looks like you are using software that could be gradually fill the hard drive with data, such as a log file, it is difficult to say.
    With the erosion of the space, you might want to periodically check each folder in drive C (right click, properties) and see how it changes for each new session.

    Also clean the temporary files would help such as for:

    "c:\temp".
    "c:\windows\temp".
    "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp.
    erase internet files of Internet Explorer cache / temporary
    deactivation and reactivation then "System Restore" (do this only if you are satisfied with Vista is running stable)

  • 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.

  • Drive HARD recovery failed

    Hi all

    I just tried to do a factory reset on my satellite netbook (which I've done a few times before), but it failed. I got as far as the system wipe, but got an error saying that there is no current backup.

    To restart, I am unable to access the utility and get an error saying no BONES found.

    I have another version of windows knock around, so used quepour starts the machine. I can see the partition containing the files of recovery is still present and the files are still there. Anyone got any ideas how I can use it to restore my computer?

    I have all other backups and I don't want to order recovery disks (my machine has not in any case of a hard drive).

    Any thoughts or ideas would be apprecited.

    Thank you!

    Problem, is that there are not any special trick or workaround to force the installation of HARD drive recovery. Maybe it sounds stupid now, but either it works or not. Of course, there is a reason why it does not work. I don't know what have you done with your machine so can just speculate what may be the reason.

    Like many other people you've made big mistake: you didn't create recovery (DVD or USB) media. The user s manuals document, clearly describes how it can be done and why. These created recovery media can be used if there is problem with the installation of recovery of HARD drive or what HARD drive fails and must be replaced by a new one.

    Sorry, but I don't see a good option for you now.
    By the way: why you won't restore disk original order?

  • Satellite A660 - 11 M - drive HARD recovery is not possible

    Hello.

    I bought the satellite A660 - 11 M two months ago. A week before, he started to cause a problem that when turned on, boot HARD drive is not possible in the first place and boot priority option page is shown. Only after that I have reset a start command, it started.

    To resolve this issue for good, I decided to format the HARD drive using the HDD recovery procedure. Unfortunately, I had to cancel this procedure after 2 minutes, and the start-up is not possible at all since then. He continues to display the message "Boot failure" etc. and staging to the BIOS screen. So, I can not access the recovery procedure even if I keep the F8 key. I am afraid that a recovery on the HARD drive partition can have been damaged due to the forced cancellation.

    I have not created a DVD of my own laptop recovery, and the only option seems to buy one from Toshiba (https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx). Before you order a recovery disc, I would ask if my problem can be solved using the disc. Anyone who has experience with the recovery disc could advise me? Another question is to know if a standard warranty let me send to Toshiba ASP? Thank you for reading.

    Hello

    > Another question is to know if a standard warranty let me send to Toshiba ASP?
    Warranty only covers hardware issues.

    Question you seems to be related to a software problem.
    Therefore, I doubt that installation of the OS would be covered by the warranty.
    You should order the recovery disk and must attempt to define the notebook back to factory settings.
    Then you should check the features of the laptop.

    Good luck

  • Installation of drive HARD recovery does not start on Satellite P300-150

    I have a 2008 Satellite P300-150 I want to restore factory settings.

    I followed the steps described in the manual of s to do it from the hard disk (F8 at startup), however, when I try, a screen will appear with a warning with the topic box"system recovery options"then below says "cannot start the installed program. Click ok to turn off the computer.

    I don't know m which is better to do it now if someone could suggest another way to do this, I would be very grateful.

    Thank you

    The situation is quite simple to explain. Recovery image installation can be done on two tracks:
    -using the HARD drive recovery or
    -using the create recovery DVDs.

    I put t know if you created this disk after advice from Toshiba, but if you use for the installation of operating system.

    By the way: Satellite P300 works perfectly with Win7 32 bit, so if there is a way to install do. It works much better than original Vista.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome. ;)
