Laptop HP Envy - RECOVERY (d :)) drive is almost full
I recently bought a HP Envy and am confused as to why my RECOVERY (D car has only 2,37 GB on 23.7 GB available to the left.) I have a backup of McAffee after buying this laptop, but nothing else. Can someone help me?
Hello:
Do not back up all files on the recovery drive.
This partition is strictly there to restore your PC software out of the box state.
It is quite normal for this partition be almost complete.
Please see this guide for more information.

I have Windows Vista. I'm a msge saying that the recovery disc (D) is almost full.
How can I transfer to OS (C) Disk that has plenty of room? Thank you.
Hello
I'm sorry, but you cannot move the D: Partition recovery or its contents; It will not work if you do.
Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.
1. If you want to reinstall Windows from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.
F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.
You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.
2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.
Also ask them how to make records.
Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..
There are backups on an external hard drive.
To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.
See you soon.

It's nothing to do with the trash.
You have a message of low disk space because you have saved something to the partition of HP recovery/tools.
Read this information from HP about your error message and if the information does not help, you should contact HP directly.

My computer shows that my 'C' drive is almost full and advised me to transfer some of the programs on. But going through the list, I discovered that most of the proms has in my 'C' drive are windows, most programs had been updated but with different codes. I want to transfer or delete, but I don't know which of them can be done safely without affecting my computer work?
ConcerningPhilip TanHello PhilipTanams,
You will not be able to move the files to the C: drive on another drive Windows. All Windows files must be in the C: drive.
Method 1:
If you have personal files or data, you can move these files to another drive that increases the size of the C: drive by adding
Method 2:If you have any other partition which has an empty space in it, you can extend the C: drive by adding the empty spaces to the C: drive.
See the links to find out how to extend the partition of drive.

My 'C' drive is almost full.
My 'C' drive is almost full. He now has a red line. I have not installed new programs recent and cleaned the disc and defraged. Any suggestions please.
Hello
FYI, Windows is installed, if a previous installation is detected, Windows saves the previous version installed in a folder called "Windows.old". If the people who fixed your computer reinstalled Windows more than once, multiple copies of the installed operating system are residing on your drive. Windows does this, then you can recover personal files if you need however, eat as a space of hard drive... This maybe whence your 91 GB.
You delete Windows.old files through disk cleanup. As part of this process, it will ask you if you want to get rid of the previous installations of Windows; say 'yes', this is the only way to get rid of these files. I suggest to re-launch disk cleanup, this time looking for previous versions that Windows can get rid of. I would say as you try TreeSize and see what he gets for totals of disc.
Finally, it is possible that the Windows Disk Manager is at fault. I had the experience where WDM gave me a total size of the road which was greater than the sum of my scores. I literally had to create a few "unallocated space" in order for the numbers to add up correctly. I try the first two things and see what the total size of the disk is right there, then see if the sum of your records is equal or not is equal to the total (declared) size of the drive.
Let me know how you fare.
Kind regards

My 500 g external drive is almost full, how do I continue with a new drive
Hi, I started using lightroom 6 months ago and now my 500 g external drive is almost full.
How can I continue using a new disc? Should I create a catalog by using exactly the same name or drag the catalogue old through without the actual RAW photos?
Eirephoto wrote:
...
Maybe 6 months work and 38 000 of Canon 1 d & 5ds raw photos are too much to have 1 catalog?
I work only with 1 catalog, I should create new catalogs more often?
No, I know users who have photos of 250,000 in a catalog and run them properly. Optimize the catalogue allows from time to time.

My laptop hard drive is almost full, any suggestions on the best way to go.
I have a compaq laptop with 140 MB of memory. The hard disk is almost full. I want to buy an external memory but don't know much about them, or if it's the best way to go. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Dave, I used CCleaner for many years.
The way I used it, was to PERFORM the "cleaner" 3 times. Until the last race... happens, with 'o bytes. "
Then, on the option 'Registry '.
Yes, with the "register" option, too. "' With NO disaster! And, with the choice of NOT make backup copies, when you are prompted to do so.
Same process run, too, until it says: "no problem found"!
Are passed to the Glary Utilities, lately. It's a good program better, to find errors 440... to his 1st round.
He did trying to mess up my computer? NO!
It works better, because I DID used the program "Glary Utilities".
There are 6 'process' to run on the logon page, it is unchecked, check it and you get a thorough 'cleaning '. There are more options available with this program it is with CCleaner, use "at your own risk!
Who I am still 'in progress' to be, is, the REMOVAL of "Duplicate Files". As I don't want to delete the ITEMS, in this case, it removes EVERYTHING and causes HAVOC with my computer.
CCleaner does NOT have this option.
Once I have understand, I well a machine "squeaky-clean".

Hello
I just bought a computer laptop 4 GB on August 12, 2012. I didn't save much even in my "D drive" However, it shows, that it is almost full. Its total capacity is 20.3 GB and the total available space is now only 255 MB. I really wonder why. I wish to request responses from you guys.
Thank you in advance.
PS Please see below the screenshot of the State of the D drive.
Sincerely,
Rain
Hi rain,
You certainly shouldn't have to store all the files in this score - it's supposed to be just large enough to contain the files required to reinstall the operating system without generating a "Low disk space" error Storing something else here can cause the recovery to fail process, they must be removed as described in the link in my previous post.
If you want to back up your personal files, a good option is to buy an external hard drive and store them here.
Kind regards

My drive is almost full, how can I empty it
hard disk almost full how can I empty it
Please download the program TreeSizeFree [1] and run it. It shows you which folders use the entire space.
You are able to locate the folder that uses less space? Now, open the folders and look if you need data. If this is not the case, delete them.

Monitor for laptop HP ENVY 17-j053ea driver
Hello, I recently had my screen replaced because of a crack, but the driver that he was replaced at a base in the process, limiting my screen resolution at a fraction of what he is capable of.
My laptop is a HP ENVY 17 - j053ea Notebook PC that runs windows 64 bits 8.1
I was wondering if someone can direct me to a place where I can find the driver that came with the laptop.
Thanks for your time.
Hello:
There is no such thing as a monitor driver for all HP laptops I have ever been.
They all appear as P & P monitors.
There are different screens with different resolutions.
I have to imagine that your screen has been replaced by one of a lower resolution.
For example: this desire 17j has the same resolution of 1600 x 900 your monitor has been replaced by.

I contact HP technical support, report the problem and that the case is resolved.
