Loss of memory hard drive without loading anything

I am running windows vista on my laptop and my hard drive memory continues to reduce even if I'm not loading anything. A few weeks ago, I noticed and did a cleaning disk, deleting all my points of restoration, but two nights ago I turned on my pc and it was about 62 g of free memory. I checked one more time before I turned it off and it was in the low 50s. The next morning, when I turned my computer on free memory space was only about 47g. I have a total of 250g momory and the only thing I use this computer for school work. Where is all of my memory going? What can I do about it?

  • Loss of memory hard drive

    I have a computer Dell Dimension 3000 DIM relatively old, running on Windows XP that was equipped with 40 gig of memory, which is now under 6 gig. My programs take hardly 2 gig of memory and I transferred all my documents to a flash drive, which consume 1.5 gig, and my hard drive memory continues to decrease. What happened to all the memory and how do I get at least a portion of it back, let's say 10 gig? Thanks for any help you can offer. GRDavis

    Memory and hard drive space are not related.

  • then I just remove my hard drive without crashing the system

    I just back up files on the HARD drive. There is no system files or programs on it. Can I remove and replace it with a bigger memory HARD drive, without crash the system?

    Yes, you can remove the HARD drive without crashing the system by closing the PC, unplug the power supply from the socket and then remove the HARD drive.

    Please note that the physical HARD disk is different from scores.

    Hard physical HARD drive or disk drive is the hardware component for storage. The capacity varies.

    A HARD disk cannot be used directly when it is connected to a computer, that's why storage units with file tailored to the needs of the system to create, known as partitions.

    A partition can be a complete HDD (for example, if you have a physical HARD disk and you have only one partition C:\) or may be more than one partition of a physical HARD disk (for example, if you have a HARD physical disk and two or more than two partitions, such as C:\ and D:\).

    Therefore, you can check for the exact physical HDD and then remove it. To do this, you can go to the computer-> storage management. Check the link for more information:

    http://www.7tutorials.com/how-manage-your-disks-using-disk-management-utility

    This will show you the number of physical drives present in your PC and the partitions present in each HARD drive. So, once you confirm the HDD backup and partition (make sure that there no Windows installation, as says iFuton), you can shut down the PC, unplug the power supply and then remove the HARD drive.

    [Please note that you have nothing to do in the management of the computer, except to check the partitions and hard drives (denoted as disk 0 disk 1 and so on for disks hard physical as well as the corresponding scores appear accordingly)]

    Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.

  • Can I format the HARD drive without losing data?

    Hi all
    I used the restore CD to solve a problem on my system (blue screen) and everything was formatted... including the partition where I had music etc...

    Is it possible to format my hard drive without losing the data on the partition?

    Hi guys

    To my knowledge it s any recovery procedure, you would use; in both cases the drive HARD will be formatted!
    Using the disc using the Toshiba HDD recovery procedure and recovery HARD drive will be formatted and you will lose the data on the second partition too.

    As far as I know both put the laptop and HARD drive on the same State as on the first day of purchase!

  • How to switch my system on a larger hard drive without having to reinstall the OS and lose my data?

    replace the hard drive

    I'm looking to replace my hard drive but I need all the files it is about it, passing a small hard drive to a larger hard drive. My question is how can I save all the files on the disk and how can I get the operating system on the new hard drive without the original disk

    If your current system does not work, there is no need to bother with data backup, installation of applications and get a Windows XP installation CD (although regular backups are important to do as a general practice).

    Instead, clone your current hard drive to your new hard drive.  All you need is an external hard drive enclosure and disk cloning software.  In addition, once you have made sure that everything works correctly, put the old drive in the external box and use it for backups.

    Some of the cloning apps below are also disk 'images' (e.g. Acronis True Image).  A disk image can be compressed so that, for example 58 GB of data can produce a 40 GB image file.  Some of the apps, and of also can selectively backup specified files.

    The housings of external drives more to connect to a USB port.  Make sure just that buy you one with the good 'form factor' (portable = 2.5 inches, computer desktop/Tower = 3.5 inches) and internal drive connector.  Many but not all speakers can deal with SATA and PATA time.

    This example (for laptops) is not the less expensive external hard drive enclosure, but it's a decent case that can be used with either SATA or IDE (PATA) drives and comes with its own software package of cloning: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602

    It is a very good buy for a drive IDE (PATA) Office size: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602

    In general, Newegg is a good place for your search options by looking at the comments by users.

    If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

  • Previous instance of the pilot still in memory - hard drive Ext

    It is on a disk Toshiba external hard usb connected to a w XPS8700 8.1 which works fine on other computers. The error message -cannot load the driver the previous instance of the device still in memory driver. I uninstalled the drive ext devices and printers where it appears with an exclamation mark and error message, rebooted, removed and reconnected to the diff, usb ports, changed power outlets, registered disk management - does not appear there or to Mgr. Unit nothing works. Yet to test it on my another victory 8.1 computer recognizes it immediately and I have access to all files.  It scans the drive and found no errors. Files can be moved to the other hard drive. The ext drive works OK on the 8700 for more than a year.

    edit -- found the reason - USB Mass Storage Device has the error -previous instance... still in memory. Any suggestions? Uninstalling and restarting does not help. Diagnostic tests were all very well.

    The fixed! This was caused by Pépin of the history of the files. (I hate file history) I opened Device Mgr, selected hidden devices and found an old entry of WD ext hard drive and deleted. Historical files should be disabled before changing anything. because it gave me errors on the disc Toshiba not found or not connected. I had disabled the USB storage device and had to re - activate. This requires a reboot, and the Toshiba external drive is now active and functional.

    I am leaving the history of files and make manual backups instead.

  • NB550D - replace the RAM or HARD drive without voiding warranty?

    Hi dude

    Since it is only a user to user forum you will get no official confirmation here
    But you're right. The RAM and HDD Upgrade or replacement will not void the warranty.
