  • Dc7800 BIOS update to support more than 2 TB of HARD drive

    Is it possible to update BIOS HP dc7800 to support more than 2 TB of drives? The PC is a SFF model with a processor E6550.

    I am aware that the BIOS must support UEFI to make this happen, but I can't find any (positive or negative) information about the dc7800.

    In Windows, it is possible to convert a GPT disk, which allows for more 2 TB disks, a second disk, but you cannot convert the system drive on a GPT disk, as this makes it unable to boot.

    So, if it is possible to update the BIOS, can someone please give instuctions on how to do this?

    I had all the and turn in circles and had absolutely no chance of achieving that goal.

    Hello:

    The first model in this series that can boot from a 3 TB HARD drive, I think, is the 8200 elite.

    dc7800 dc7900, 8000 Elite and 8100 Elite cannot.

    They can use > 2 TB drives for storage if they are in the GPT format.

    Here's how to know if your PC has a UEFI BIOS.  See page 5.

    http://h20566.www2.HP.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.BINARYPORTLET/public/KB/docDisplay/resource.process/?spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay_ws_BI & spf_p.rid_kbDocDisplay = docDisplayResURL & javax.portlet.begCacheTok = com.vignette.cachetoken & spf_p.rst_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-resourceState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c02826744-1%257CdocLocale%253Den_US & javax.portlet.endCacheTok = com.vignette.cachetoken

    I have a dc7800 CMT and a 8200 Elite CMT both with the latest revisions of the BIOS.

    It is impossible to upgrade the BIOS in the UEFI in your model.

  • More than expected in the C: drive space consumed

    Hey Vinod Dhaka

    with the dell recovery discs you would normally follow their instructions to reinstall vista

    put simply you never made a big enough partition

    Microsoft recommends for vista professional who was anyway too small 40gbs

    "HDD 40 GB at least 15 GB of available space (20 GB for the basic home edition"

    you have updates of programs etc to install

    and you say not the size of your hard drive, or how it is implemented

    use of your hard disk space correctly and reinstall vista or read this tutorial below to remove expand partitions

    What IDE controller has been integrated?
    You could install a tool of diagnosis of equipment as Everest home edition and could check your hardware specifications.

    But I guess the protégé M100 supports South Bridge Intel ICH4 - M and the IDE controller must support the Ultra ATA 100/66/33

    However, you must still install these diagnostic tools to ensure a what IDE controller has been installed.

    The fact is that since ATA - 6 (also known as Ultra DMA/100, Ultra DMA 5 or Ultra-ATA100 mode) the 48-bit LBA is supported which allows to use more large 128 GB drives

  • Shadow of storage using more than 50% of my hard drive

    I run Vista Home Premium 32 bit and have a 500 GB HDD (C) and a secondary 2 to HDD (D).  My C drive is showing only 72GB of space.  When I look at the individual files used space is only about 150 GB.  I downloaded Treesize and he tells me that GB 205.2 is 'System Volume Information', which amounts to 27 files with names like {(72ddf03-7af3-89fg3-hg87e), as big as 26 GB investigations made me suspect the system restore.}  But I read that this should be limited to 15% of the disk space.  I enter the command "vssadmin list memory ghost" and confirmed "used Shadow Copy Storage: 203GB.  I downloaded cc cleaner, but it does not appear to be anywhere near this amount of space that you want to delete.  Is there a way to configure Windows so that it does not use this space. (I use the restore of the system occasionally, but at most, would only go back to a point a week ago.)  Can anyone help?

    It works maybe not properly for the sake of 1 million. Fix first, then see what happens. As a general rule if you need space there will be available.

    I see no reason to keep them, they take a lot of space, one of the reasons to convert to DNG is that they are almost 20% smaller than the ships.

    Check the system restore to see how much disk space it uses:

    Click Start

    Right click on computer

    Click on properties

    Click on advanced system settings

    Click on the System Protection

    Click on configure

    Adjust the amount of disk space allocated to system restore.

    In addition, the amount of RAM you have installed, it will take more disk space for paging, hibernation, and dump files.

  • I lose a hard drive space every day on my Windows 7 computer

    My computer is barely a month.  I only put on about 6 programs, all with small footprints.  I transferred to about 70 GB of files.  I know that the system uses the memory out of the box, but even with all that taken into account, that I can't take into account more than 40 GB of space and the amount increases every day.

    I was check and each day I lose a few GB of hard drive space.  Where's he going?  There is much info on Vista and some of its features that uses a hard disk space, I guess than some that apply to Windows 7.  But seriously, for example I lost 2GB between yesterday and today, and I have absolutely nothing to the computer.

    Clean temporary files and use Disk Cleanup to reclaim space.  But it is usually minimal and it does not take into account what I lose.  I have the system to restore all of the space to a fairly small percentage.  In summary, I think I have everything correct in order to minimize the use of hard drive, but the space is to be consumed at an alarming rate.  No virus, MSE is on the system and did not find a thing.

    Where the hell the space continues?  I am glad that I have a large hard drive, so there is move the room, but it's ridiculous to have disk space available endangered on its own.  I don't know that it's associated BONE.  Thoughts?

  • My (C) hard drive space becomes low. What can I do?

    Hello

What happens if the C drive space comes to level down while Windows Update is taking place. The minimum amount of space have stand to drive C? How to manage the process?

    Thanks & Rgds,

    You really need to think about 15%, a minimum of free space on the disk.

    Your 1st task is to try to identify the cause of the lack of space. Things like music, photos and especially video may gradually creep on you.

    TreeSize here is quite useful to work where space is gone.

    Libraries can be moved. Expand 1st level of etiquette in the left pane to display the top folder and right-click. The location of the tab, you can change the location of one of the empty discs and it will copy all files when you click on move. If you have more than one user, it is best to create a record of the user for each group and then do it for each of them. Don't forget to check the new location is included in all of the backups.

    Also use disk cleanup too. Open the computer, right click on the C drive, and then click Properties. Click Disk Cleanup. For more options in the result, click on the option of system files and see what you can get rid of.
