• Disk full error but USB drive has enough free space

  I am trying to copy a file to a USB flash drive even if the drive is empty when I try to copy the file, I get an error message telling me that the disk is full.  The file is 8GB and the drive is 32 GB, so there is plenty of room.  How to fix this?

  Most of the USB flash drives are formatted with the FAT32 file system.  This file system cannot store any single file larger than 4 GB. You will need to reformat the NTFS-formatted flash drive to store an 8 GByte file.  (Attention: save all the files on the drive before reformatting).

• Can not defragment. I get a pop up message that I am low on memory and free disk space. I use the cleaning disc, but can not run Defragmenter. I have only 2 percent of free space, and it will not defragment.

  a pop-up message tells me I have insufficient disk space and free up some disk space so I run the disc to clean and it removes some of the problems. He jumps up all 2-3 days.  I tried to defrag, but the error message says that I only have 2% of disk space and he needs 15% to defrag so it will not defragment.  The band is red when I analyze the system before defragmentation.

• Replace the HDD with SSD boot disk and use the disk HARD now as secondary storage

  I would like to replace my dv7 - 6143cl HDD with a SSD boot drive and using the OEM HARD drive as secondary storage.

  I have the SSD and the caddy

  I need to:

  delete the original OEM HD

  Install the SSD

  install OEM HARD drive in secondary Bay

  Install Win 7 (I don't have install disks - what is on the HARD drive in his backup partition)

  or I have to

  delete this HD

  Install the SSD

  go into the BIOS, and then assign him drive in AHCI (etc.)

  Install Win 7

  install OEM HARD drive in secondary Bay

  etc.

  I want to dual-boot, if possible, but I think that the second HD (start-up disk) does not start, even if I change the settings in the BIOS

  is this true?

  Thank you very much

  Hello:

  Your BIOS is set to AHCI (or RAID) by default. It cannot be changed.  Look in your device manager and in the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section, look to see if there is a controller SATA ACHI he.

  If so, you have an AHCI BIOS default.

  If you go further down the line in Device Manager and see a section of storage controllers, click on that, you would see a SATA RAID controller and your BIOS is set to default RAID.

  I don't have your model laptop so I don't know if HP has implemented some models double disk RAID or AHCI.

  So... First, copy your original C:\ drive SWSetup folder and save that to a portable hard drive. That must contain all the files installation for the drivers and the software provided with your PC. You can search this folder for programs that you may want to reinstall after your new SSD drive HARD primary.

  To install W7 on your SSD, check your own install of W7 disc.  Here's how:

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  Can't answer your question on the dual boot as I never did before.

• Disk hard online, but not visible in Windows Explorer

  Hi guys, I need a little help.

  Today, I installed an old 80 GB Maxtor Diamondmax 10 PATA hard drive on my other PC, a Dell Inspiron 530, as a second HDD. I had to order new parts to connect actually upward from the power supply and motherboard SATA and IDE connections are not, but all those who are working very well.

  My problem is that this Maxtor drive does not appear in Windows Explorer. BIOS, see Device Manager it disk management he sees (and even said it's online). Just not Windows Explorer.

  In disk management, it is not a drive letter assigned to it, and when I right click on the disk partitions, anything but 'Delete the Volume' and 'Help' are grayed out. (Screenshot here: http://i39.tinypic.com/2ujpbeo.png)

  I'm a bit stumped, it's almost like I can't use the drive at all. Any ideas?

  Here's some more information about the system:

  OS: Windows Vista editions Home Premium (Build 6002, Service Pack 2)

  BIOS: Phoenix AwardBIOS review 1.0.18

  Motherboard: Foxconn G33M02

  CPU: Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2140 1.6gHz

  Memory: 3072 MB DDR2 SDRAM

  First HARD drive: 250 GB Hitachi SATA sister

  HARD drive secondary: 80 GB Maxtor Diamondmax 10 PATA (with jumper set to "Master DS")

  GPU: ASUS EAH4670

  And I should add, just in case... This is PATA to SATA card, I use the drive: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320759737706?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT & _trksid = p3984.m1439.l2649

  And I just use a SATA to Molex cable I found to convert the power.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Thanks for this info. I looked more into filesystems and it turns out that the disc was either FAT or NTFS - it was EXT2 which is a Linux file system. I found this by starting Ubuntu that supports multiple file systems.

  I didn't format it had data on personal, but I found an EXT2 driver and can now browse the Windows hard disk.

• Cannot use disk utility to create the partition of the free space on the external USB drive.

  I have a red 3 TB Western Digital drive in a USB hard drive docking station.

  The reader is GPT, and I have two volumes on it (a single volume is "Microsoft reserved", another volume is NTFS).

  The other part of my drive is 1.5 TB of free space. I want to create a new partition with free space so that I can put backups Time Machine encrypted external hard disk.

  I checked free space on the drive with my Windows machine:

  DiskPart displays 2 partitions - a 128 MB and the other GB 1267 with 1526 MB of free space.

  I took the hard drive of my MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and pulled towards the high disk utility, but for some reason, that it does not resemble the disk utility it is to see the free space, so I can't create a new volume.

  Here are a few screenshots:

  ... of the physical disk in disk utility (notice how it doesn't seem be all unallocated space on the disk to create a new volume):

  

  ... of the NTFS volume in disk utility:

  

  ... of information for the drive in disk utility:

  

  ... of information for the NTFS volume in disk utility:

  

  ... of the partitioning settings page. Notice how the sign is grayed out (I can't create another partition):

  

  

  I'm a new Mac user. My company recently gave me a Mac, so the first thing I want to do is to create a new partition on this external USB drive to put backups Time Machine figures on it.

  In the research I did find a way to do it on a mac computer without erasing the drive and starting over. But you can go to your windows computer and partition the free space of disks. Then use the mac to set the free space as mac os extended journaled. Here's what I found. http://www.PCWorld.com/article/2066191/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive.html the only other way would be to copy the file on the external drive, somewhere, so you can delete it and re partition for windows and mac. Then reinstall windows files. I'm not familiar with windows systems.

• 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.

  See the link.

• I have disk defragment now show that I have no free space left

  I try to Defrag. and cleaning disc once a week. I normally like 30% free space. After that I have the defragmentation. last week, he went to zero, all free space (white bar) became red. I have not downloaded anything. I tried to remove programs, which would total more than 15% free space mark. If I run it defrag goes to zero. Any thoughts?

  Hello

  Method 1:

  I suggest you analyze your computer Microsoft Safety Scanner, it will help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Method 2: Try running the disk check on your system with the help of the link below.

  How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

  Important: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

  Hope this information is useful.

  Personally, I would be interested to see what disk management says on the disc. Right click on my computer > choose manage. In the left pane, click "disk management". The content will grow in the right pane. Make a written note or a screen shot showing both used and free space.

• Import from SD card does not store the files on hard drive, but only references to SD card after import.

  Hi - for some reason, files of my card SD imported into lightroom, but referencing only the SD itself card and as files within the usual on my macintosh HD library, of course, when I eject the SD of my iMac, lightroom do not know where the files are more. I tried to delete LR and re-import but the same thing happened. I also saved the DCIM folder on desktop and tried to import from there, but again, it is important files directly to my address in LR, which means that I have to keep my SD card. I use LR for a while and this is the first time that this has happened. I imported the files to another SD card later and everything worked as it should. I really want to make sure that my original files are where they should be on the hard disk and in LR, so I can safely eject my card and not to lose my files. Can someone tell me how to go about this please?

  When you perform the import, you must select the COPY option, and under the Destination on the side right, you must select a location on one of your hard drives.

  The question I have is that the old drive of 200 GB system I am unable to use it in any other machine or according to and external storage device.
  The original secondary disc works fine few matter where I use it... (In my PS3 at the moment)

  When I install the orgional system drive in my laptop and rebuild windows it it still works 100%.
  Hance a good work of 200 GB of HARD drive.
  Take it out and serve in another machine of storage that it won't - boot all I get is cyclic redundancy errors

  WD test came back with diagnostics Test::Read 11 - cable sector error!

  Even as a drive on the original laptop is the same

  All ideas taken with gratitude that I don't want to lose a good 200 GB HARD drive

  Thank you very much

  Hello!

  The external box is maybe defective, because you said that the HARD drive works in your laptop and the PS3 without problem.
  You can test the HARD drive in another external case?

  WD test unknown to me but I always use the Drive Fitness Test:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  Good bye
