I get message "not enough space on drive" when I check Add/Remove items, I noticed that the Windows XP security updates takes a huge amount of space? What can I do to reduce or fix it? __

Free space on drive C - Windows XP Security takes a large amount of space.

Beachaven,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!

How much space you show the updates of security take?

It is recommended to leave all the updates security installed and continue to keep your computer up-to-date with Windows Update. Remove these updates will make your computer vulnerable to malicious software. If you need to erase the disk space, I recommend to uninstall old programs that are no longer in use. You can also check the disk cleanup tool to see if you can free up of any space there.

·         Click Start

·         Click on all programs

·         Click on Accessories

·         Click on System Tools

·         Click Disk Cleanup

·         Check the boxes of files to remove

·         Click OK

·         Click on delete files

Hope that helps, I look forward to hearing from you.

  • Trying to extend the c drive with space unallocated in diskpart.exe - I get the message that there is not enough space. what I am doing wrong?

    DiskPart.exe help - not enough space - I have more than 5 GB of unallocated space. trying to expand the C: drive

    Hello mark_kman,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    It sounds as if you have multiple partitions. Disk management and DiskPart extends the volume with a focus on the next contiguous unallocated space. For basic volumes, the unallocated space must be on the drive and must follow (have a plu sector offset number than) the partition with focus.

    If you are looking at disk management, this means that, if you look at your partition C: the unallocated space MUST be located directly to the right of the C: partition. If you have another partition between the two, you will be allowed to extend the partition directly to the left of the unallocated space.

    This could be a work around, if you have C: and D: and have files on D: but have more space.

    -D: shrink to create just enough unallocated space to store your files located on D:.
    -Create a new partition with unallocated space to move your files.
    -Move your D: files to your new partition.
    -Now, to delete the D: partition

    This creates unallocated space between your C: partition and the new partition that you created to move your files.

    -Now right click on your C: partition and extend as usual.

    Hope this helps

  • Cannot save game because the game get say not enough space, but I have 15 GB of space

    recently, when I was playing the devil may cry and resident evil, after I play I try to save the game but the game invites a massage to say save failed and the game must at least 200 KB to save the game, the problem is that I have 15 GB of space on my hard drive, how is, I can't save the game?

    Ok.

    When you go to save the game, you get the option to select the partition or volume on which save?

    Worth a try to save the game after you have uninstalled the antivirus program.  This way you can reject if the antivirus interferes. If you find my answer was what you're looking for, remember to click on the link "Propose as answer" below.

  • Not enough space for music DB error message.

    Hello. Whenever I try to open my Sansa clip mp3 player continues to display the message: "not enough space for music DB. Please free 30 MB. And I have 2 GB.

    Hello

     

    1. what operating system is installed on the computer?
    2. you have any third-party backup software installed on the computer?

    Start the shadow copy volume service and see if the problem persists.
    a: click Start > run
    b
    : type Services.msc in the start search box and click on enter.
    c: Are now looking for a shadow copy volumeservice, double-click it to open it.
    d: make sure that the Service is started and set to Automatic.

    Shadow copy is a technology included in Microsoft Windows that allows taking manual or automatic backup copies or snapshots of data, even if it has a lock on a volume that is specific to a precise moment in time on regular intervals.
    There should be more space on the backup destination media to take successfully no matter what data should be backed up from the source backup media.

  • Bad burn on Blu - Ray; not enough space?

    Hi all

    I bought a blu ray burner =:

    http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1051647-reg/samsung_se_506cb_rswd_sam_slim _exterior_blue_ray.html

    Create the disk opens its doors to about 66% asks me to insert a disc. The project is only about 3 minutes. long.

    Then, at some point, I get the error message; "Not enough space on the startup disk.

    Once the error was; not enough space on the disk, but it's a Virgin blu - ray disc. (BD - R)

    There is plenty of space on the hard drive of my iMac.

    The burner did not come with software to Mac but I chose the burner in the FCX share window.

    Other: When I right click on a movie on the desktop file I see an option for burning, but where can I say it blu - ray?

    Thank you

    Al

    Is the library of the PCF on your startup disk and where the media is stored?

    If you burn a movie from a file in the Finder, it is a data disk and will not readable on a Blu Ray player.

  • Not enough space in Runtime area. Data not available SMBios. Inaccessible BIOS

    Hello, I was trying a restore or Windows 7 install on a p6510y for a friend. Tried going into the bios to select which device to boot from.

    I hit F10, it says enter the bios or enter the configuration..., then it goes to a black screen with a blue bar at the top. The blue bar is bright blue in the middle and it fades to the edge of the screen. It is not animated. I see no text or the cursor blinking either.

    If I do not go into the BIOS, I get the message "not enough space in Runtime area. SMBios data will be unavailable"and if I hit F2 to continue, windows starts normally.

    I stripped the system down to a single stick of RAM, tried a different PSU, graphics card, vga cable, etc.. I removed the cmos battery and flies over the rider for a solid 30 mins. I can not even access the bios.

    It's a machine extremely strongly virused, I was able to install Windows 7 via disk external drive bootable. The recovery partition is still intact, although it seems empty, still too much space.

    I ran sp49851.exe in windows 7 on the machine, the installation has been apparently successfully, but the BIOS always behaves in the same way.

    I am at a loss, have spent many hours in checking these forums of discussion, does not. Is it possible for me to prepare a bootable USB key and manually install the bios? I extracted the contents of the exe to a folder but I don't know what to do next. The computer has a floppy drive port. For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    I was able successfully to Flash the BIOS manually, and it behaves as it should. Here's what I did:

    I extracted the contents of my bios file (sp49851.exe), using a program called Universal Extractor.

    I renamed the file alo6.09 to bios.rom (this was the only file required)

    I followed this guide:

    http://www.BIOS-mods.com/BIOS-update/

    Make SURE you get the HP USB Disk Format Tool, they provide a link.

    Make SURE you get the BACK image they provide a link for.

    I used AFUDOS for my AMI BIOS, from which the above ROM file extension. (they provide a link to AFUDOS)

    I used the command line afudos bios.rom/p/b/n/c/e/k/q/reboot (EXACTLY) how they said.

    Went straight into the BIOS, was able to make changes. System seems to work fine. It is very important that you read all of this guide and be absolutely sure that you have the good BIOS before updating. Thanks for the help Dave!

  • "Not enough space" DatabaseException using DatabaseEnvironment

    I want to create a database in a DatabaseEnvironment which will store a big data, for example 10 to. But I always get a DatabaseException with message "not enough space", of course, there is enough space to store this data in the driver. She throws an exception of database while put data and the size of the database reach a size (or 125% of the size) specified by CacheInfo, even if I close, and then reopen the database environment and the database. In addition, it throws an exception when I give the param ""Go " a value greater than 1 in CacheInfo, as the"new CacheInfo (2, 0, 1)"." The operating system is windows 8. Why?

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;

    using System.IO;
    using System.Diagnostics;

    {
    String Dir = @ "D:\Temp2\";
    String Name = "TestEnv;

    If (Directory.Exists (ED))
    Directory.Delete (Dir, true);

    DatabaseEnvironmentConfig envConfig = new DatabaseEnvironmentConfig();

    base1. Close();
    base2. Close();
    Env.Close ();
    }
    }
    }

    The problem have been found in the HashDatabase.Open () method. The filename parameter must be specified as below, or it will lift the DatabaseException with message "not enough space" so that the size (in bytes) of dababases reach CacheInfo size:

    HashDatabase database1 = HashDatabase.Open ("filename.db", "BD1", cfg);

    Base2 HashDatabase = HashDatabase.Open ("filename.db", "db2", cfg);

    Maybe it's a bug. I put the filename setting 'null' Berkeley DB documentation Guide.

  • Time Machine-not enough space error

    Hi all

    I had to unplug my computer and move it to another room and now after all hang up, I get this message "not enough space for full backup". There are about 150 GB to 2 TB disk space as it is filled with iTunes and Time machine backups.

    I guess it's because ever since I hooked everything back up Time Machine think it is made the first backup of everything rather than pick up where he left off when he made the last backup?

    Please tell me that I shouldn't let it save it for the first time again. It took an eternity to accomplish this last time as the computer kept going to sleep.
