I'm low in disk space on C: drive I can use my external hard drive of 500 GB to fill in the space

Toshiba L40 series

Toshiba L40 series

That's what I do with my external hard drive.
I propose all programs installed , personal files and folders on my external hard drive. Thus, only the programs in the system are in the C drive.

My C drive has 581 GB, so far only 50 of them are used. (Mine is a Win 7 64-bit).

    Hi dynamitenews

     

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
    2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

     

    You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

    Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.

    BIOS WARNING-
    Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Use LR5. Because of volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. When opening LR5 it references only the local hard disk. How can I change the refernce to read the external drive. Thank you

    Use LR5, due to volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. LR refers only the Local Drive C not outside. Where do I change this by LR read the external drive. Grateful for the help.

    Thank you

    LR is not a file Explorer. He knows only the disks that you imported photos of.

    If you have previously imported these photos, then later moved into the external hard drive, go to the library files and "update location" Panel on the files that you moved.

    If you have never imported these images on the external hard drive, perform an import by using the option 'Add' (not ' copy') to keep the images on the external hard drive during import.

  • Computer message is very low on disk space

    My pc says that I have a low disk space. I'm running on Windows X P. I have add remove programs and removed everything I can. However, after these actions, I went to my computer and click with the right button on properties, and yet no space has been released. I removed several large programs. What I did wrong or what did not? Someone please help me with this.

    E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    Please provide the capacity of your hard drive (C :) and the amount of free space on it.

    I suggest you do this:

    1. move the files of personal data such as videos, music, photos, etc. on another disk - for example, a flash USB, external hard drive, DVD drive. (copy the files then check that they are in the new location and work then remove the ones on the original hard disk).

    2. run Disk CleanUp *.

    3 * to defragment your hard drive.

    Do not be tempted to use the 3rd party or optimizers of PC registry cleaners - they often do more harm than good.

  • can I use an external hard drive to increase the disk space and memory on xp?

    I am considering an external hard drive of 1 TB to trasmet all files on the computer. There is little hard drive space and memory left. Can I use the external hard drive free space and can it will be installed via USB and use my operating system?

    You can use the external hard drive to transfer your data from your internal hard drive.  Cannot move system files (such as Program Files, Windows and swap files) well.  Looks like your use of the word 'memory' made reference to disk space - it normally refers to which an external drive would not affect RAM.  If you mean disk space, however, you can certainly free SPAC drive this way.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • Disk utility finds several files and folders after formatting external hard drive

    It is somewhat an Enigma to me. I bought an external hard drive that I wanted to use to store my Time Machine backups. I formatted in Mac OS extended (journaled case-sensitive) without any problems, however, I noticed that disk utility indicated that I had 18 and 59 files (space used = 448,1 Mb)!  I ejected the disc, it reconnected and utility found 64-19 records to disc now! How is that possible? What is going on?  I used the 'diskutil list' command on the Terminal, and I found the following:

    / dev/disk2

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 500,1 disk2

    1: disk2s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

    2: Apple_HFS disk2s2 backup 499,8 Gb

    I see there are 2 partitions, even if I made a partition during formatting of the drive.  I don't know if this 'normal' or if I'm doing something wrong. I would be very happy any help you can give! Thank you very much!

    It's normal. new disc format have information. When you start the firmware queries drives to see what is on them to find if they ae bootable

  • MY c DRIVE is nearly full. Can I use my external hard drive because it has a lot of space

    My ' it shows only 123 MB available disc. I have a 500 GB external hard drive, but am not sure how to use it to free up space on my drive "C".

    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Roy Warner

    Hi Roy,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    The description of the problem you have provided, I understand that your C drive is full and trying to move some information on external hard drive.

    I will certainly help you in this matter.

    If you have data files in the C drive, you can go ahead and move them to the external hard drive. You will not be able to move the files to the program on the external hard drive.

    In order to get the free space in C drive, you can go ahead and uninstall the software bit that you use it often.

    See the link.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program

    You can also delete files using disk cleanup, which would reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space.

  • Can WRT1900ACS use an external hard drive with disks in RAID 0, 1, or JBOD?

    Hello

    Happy new year.

    Is an external drive with more disks RAID 0, 1; JBOD compatible with WRT1900ACS?

    I have this idea to tie a big (6-8 TB) external drive and use the DLNA feature as an alternative to a computer as NAS and DLNA server. The external drive could be four 2 TB Western Digital hard drives in RAID 0, 1; JBOD. The boxes can be:

    - Western Digital my book Duo.

    - IB-3640SU3 - external case of JBOD 4 x with eSATA and USB 3.0 for disks 3.5 "SATA hard.

    I hope someone can help clarify if I have misunderstood something.

    Concerning

    Jan Rouvi

    Hello. It is not recommended to use this type of enclosure with the WRT1900ACS, since most of this is managed by software that are installed on the computer. The software will not be able to detect hard drives, whether they are connected to the router and the router does not have this capability to configure drives in RAID 0, 1, or JBOD. The configuration of the router storage tool is just very basic. If you really need to configure RAID 0, 1, or JBOD in terms of network, you must obtain a SIN.

  • You can use a single hard drive to store an image disk backup and restore for multiple computers?

    I have a couple of computers that I recently installed Win7 on. As soon as I do an install I always do a backup image is preparing for the worst.

I already have two separate a HDs different images, but would like to have them all in one place. I already tried a straight copy of an image to HAND HD I would use like, but without success.

  • You can use a virtual hard disk with a live linux iso (persistent) invited?

    If I format a virtual hard drive with gparted and then mount it, it becomes impossible to restart the client. Attempt to restart blocks upward with a blank screen, as if it does not find the bootable media.
