  Hard disks are disks for data storage that can be divided into one or more partitions (or volumes). RAM is a card that is placed in a memory slot in the motherboard. The motherboard may have a number of slots, often 2 or 4. As a backup of the system RAM memory will be temporarily store data in a file on the hard drive and it's virtual memory.

  Hard drives can be internal (inside the computer case) or external (outside the computer case).

  The system uses the RAM first, as it is faster to access, read and write, and for less immediate tasks of the system swaps out data for later use of RAM in the swap file on the hard drive.

  Not enough memory messages are normally because the system detects that there is a danger that it is shortly will have insufficient disk space to meet the needs of the system. It is perhaps because the allocated disk space is not enough to know that the allotted maximum play needs to be increased, or that there are not enough remaining free disk space to increase the size of the pagefile size. In your case, the messages are related to something else than the more common situation.

  In your case the problem is the Volume Shadow Copy service.
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Copy

  This service has disk space needs and the reserve system part of the disk only for its use. How it does and how to solve this problem, when things go wrong, is not commonly understood that is why I am fighting to give you simple instructions on how to solve your problem.

  A possible solution could be formatting your hard drive and a new installation of Windows and programs. It is a radical solution to what is an irritant, but probably not a problem that prevents you from using your computer. Reinstalling the operating system is not something I would recommend an inexperienced user company.

  What caused your problem? Most likely it was caused by your anti-virus program or a program like Registry Mechanic, or is the result of damage from malware (virus). You must uninstall Registry Mechanic by Add / Remove programs in the Control Panel now and we hope it's presence did not irreparable damage to the registry.

  What antivirus do you use? If it is Norton or McAfee that needs to go. Norton is particularly good to turn upside down the Windows operating system. If you have Norton you will need specific advice as the removal can be problematic. There are many appropriate freeware alternatives.

• Low disk space problem

  This PC runs Windows 7 Pro.  Its hard drive has two primary partitions: drive system (C :) and FACTORY_IMAGE (d).  The latter has a capacity of 12,083,933,760 bytes, which only 6 729 728 bytes are not used.  As a result, this warning "low disk space.  You run lack of space on FACTORY_IMAGE (d) "continues to appear every few minutes.  I'm sick and tired of this nagging fairly quickly.

  I used Windows installation partitioning to shrink C:.  However, when I tried to expand D:, the option is grayed out.  Is there a setting that I could change to stop the nagging?  It would be dangerous to use a 3 rd-party utility to expand D:?

  This PC was given without an installation disk, so I have to be careful with this recovery partition.

  These instructions are for Vista, but they should work on Windows 7 as well: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windowsvista/ht/dislowdisk.htm

  1. Click Start, type the following command in the start search box, and then press the enter key.

     Regedit

     This command loads the registry editor program.

     Note: the registry is changed in these steps. Take great care in making the changes described below only.

  2. Find the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder under computer and click the plus sign (+) after the folder name to expand the folder.

  3. Continue to expand the folders until you reach theHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion registry key.

  4. Select the policy under CurrentVersionkey.

  5. In the registry editor menu, select change, then New, then finally by key.

  6. After the key is created under the policy, it will be initially appointed new key #1.

     Change the name of the key to Explorer by typing exactly as shown and then hit the key entry .

  7. With the new key, Explorer, still selected, choose Edit, followed by new, then finally the DWORD (32 bit).

  8. Once the DWORD value is created under Explorer, it will be initially named new value #1.

     Change the name of the DWORD NoLowDiskSpaceChecks typing it exactly as shown and then hit the key entry .

  9. Right-click on the new NoLowDiskSpaceChecks DWORD you just created and clickEdit.

  10. In the data value: on the ground, to replace the zero with the number 1.

  11. Click OK , and then close the registry editor.

• My iCloud photo library is activated and it says space low disk - download 1 548 points but never actually download?

  Why does say not enough space - download 1 548 points when I go into settings > iCloud > Photos?  I have iCloud library lit as well as download on my photo stream but it never downloads actually and my phone again a low disk space.  I have 50 GB of space with only 47.6 GB iCloud used so space should not be a problem.

  "Low disk space" is probably what indicates that your phone is low on space... not iCloud. How much storage is on your phone? Go to settings > general > storage & iCloud storage and what is stated in high "STORAGE > 'Used' and ' available? Your iCloud-storage space is at the bottom of this page under "iCLOUD.

• HP Pavilion dv6-3150us Notebk: space low disk after upgrade to version 1607 Windows10

  In the month of August I have improved my laptop Windows 7 Home Premium Windows 10.  Everything worked fine for a month now until Windows 10 1607 version has been highly recommended by people of Windows 10.

  After having updated with all updates faithfully, but as soon as I tried (four times) to install Windows 10 1607 version, then the step of time again to return to the previous version of Windows.  Then I hit a brick wall.  I always get the error message: "low disk space".  And Windows is continuously remind upgrade me to 1607. As in the famous movie, it's a catch-22 situation.

  I read part of the help Forum and led to a link suggested by a member of the staff of HP as the only resolution available.  The link for this low disk space error problem is http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03736755.

  I translated the link Windows 7 instructions in organization style Windows of problem resolutions 10 and is in the section "Files and folders" and then followed the steps in Windows 7.  But I always hit a brick wall.  In the view of files hidden on my recovery disk (drive D I checked I didn't backup any personal files to occupy space unnecessarily.)  I also emptied the previous system restore and just did a new restoration of the system.  But still the same problem.  It seems I need to extend my recovery disk for Windows 10 version 1607.  But by following the steps in the evolution of my partitions, the option to extend the recovery disc has been shaded and so available.

  Is it possible to enlarge my recovery disk? This laptop is great and has a lot of life left.  I don't want to have to buy a new one just to work on this problem of low disk space error.

  Desperately need help because it is the only computer for our family.

  Sorry do not provide the follow-up to resolution as soon as possible.  Here's how my problem was resolved:

  I asked my son to help IT specialist.  He re-partitioned my computer using a free software tool (AOMEI Partition Wizard Standard Edition).    I choose to add 50 GB of my unit (recovery drive) which then totaled 68 GB for this drive. because I wanted to ensure this problem wouldn't come back and I had space to work with.

  I have worked with this resolution now for about a month and have a zero problem.  What I noticed, was that after a few weeks 10 Windows should have automatically cleared out my previous updates because Windows Explorer now shows that this drive has a file size a total space of 68 and 51 GB that is not used which brings my use of the reader to 17 GB.

  I am guessing that before Windows 10 empty automatically previous updates that he needed somewhere between 20-25 Go make the final version of 1607 upgrade and retain earlier versions (for me to return to the previous editions).   Then the end of the period of time to return 10 Windows must have automatically deleted my previous editions and just kept upgrading version of 1607.  In hindsight I would have added 50 GB on my drive - on another 10-12 GB would have been more than enough for this transition period to work.

  Finally I am EXTREMELY well pleased I did the update of Windows 10 and then added the update of the birthday Version (1607).   I like the added security features and a large number of features and benefits.

  Hope this helps others.

• How to clean my disk overloaded space in C drive? Almost complete. Says "low disk space". Thank you in advance.

  How to clean my disk overloaded space in C drive?  Almost complete.  Says "low disk space".  Thank you in advance.

  I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

  Follow a few basic maintenance note.

  1.5 the tool provided in Windows to remove unwanted temporary files is disk cleanup. To access this tool select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. You must then run Disk Defragmenter.

  1.6 using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

  1.7. If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

  1.8. a better alternative program to disk cleanup is cCleaner. The freeware version works well for a home user and must be downloaded from Piriform program provider:
  http://www.CCleaner.com/download

  1.9. When you open cCleaner you will see four large icons to the left of the window. Here's cleaner them, registry, tools, and Options. For routine maintenance, you normally acceding Cleaner (this is not the mentioned registry cleaner later). When using for the first time only, you can accept the default settings.

  1.10. some observations on the parameters. On my computer, I do not have the boxes before the passwords saved selected. In a less secure environment, you could check this option and set cCleaner to run automatically when the computer starts. You also cannot check the boxes in front of shortcuts from the Start Menu, desktop shortcuts and historical form. You must check the boxes according to your needs. Bad first time options causes irritating no disasters.

  1.11. the second icon that you see when you open cCleaner's registry. A reserve many experienced users have about cCleaner, it's that it comes with a registry cleaner. This tool should not be used. By using a registry cleaner, but it is the case, provides significant benefits and there is always the risk of creating insoluble system errors, which cannot be resolved by reinstalling the operating system and all that that implies. You will avoid any possible problem of not not by clicking on the Save icon.

  1.12 the third icon that you see when you open cCleaner is tools. If you click this icon, it gives you access a routine plus service options. The first two tools are uninstalled and commissioning. I do not use these tools, preferring to use other software options. The third tool is the restoration of the system, which is covered in the next paragraph. The fourth tool is Wiper Drive and you will find reviews about this tool later

  1.13 removing the system restore points can be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments. This makes it easier to hold the restore points for long periods without keeping large unwanted files, whose inflexible approach to disk cleanup fails to offer.

  1.14. you can't remove the last restore point using the cleaning disc or cCleaner. If the last restore point contains malicious software, you can turn off and then turn on system restore. This has the disadvantage that restore all points are removed when you want to keep more restore points that are not infected. How to get round this problem is to create a new restore point when you are satisfied with your computer is free of malware and then remove the infected restore point.

  1.15. in normal circumstances, you probably rarely need to use Driver wiper. However, there are situations like if you gave the computer to someone else, then the tool may be useful. Please note that the wiper Drive, opening, generates a warning message, which should not be dismissed lightly. Using wiper Drive for the wrong reason could have serious consequences.

  1.16 the fourth icon is labeled Options. Many configuration options are available here. You can configure cCleaner to run when start you but remember that this will slow down the boot. Another setting allows you to include or exclude cookies. Yet another allows files named to exclude.

• Repeated low disk message.

  I get the message low disk all the time. I run Disk Cleanup daily and he returned. I don't want to receive notifications, I want the problem to stop. I run Disk Cleanup daily and it does not help. Is it possible to solve the problem? I can't run system restore, enough of space. Can I restart the computer to how it was at the beginning? Without data, again? Someone please help!

  I'm guessing that you have a single disk with a single partition and it has XP installed on it. You use all the space on the disk? I'm guessing that since you know how to use disk cleanup, you can say that the properties of the disk and the answer is no. What is the size of the disk and the amount of free space you have on it?

  The disc may be hitting errors, or it could be so fragmented sanitation that there is not enough contiguous space so he can meet the test of free space. I recommend defragement player then error check. You can find both of them by right-clicking on the drive and selecting Properties. On the general tab, you will see the used and free space and a button named disk cleanup, do not click it. Go to the Tools tab, and then click Defragment now. It will open the GUI defragmenter. Click analyze. You should see a bar in the middle of the window fill in red, blue, green and white. If there are no large areas of white space while this could have caused the problem. Whatever the result, click the defragment (Note: this will probably take a lot of time so don't plan your computer for a few hours, especially if your disk space is low). Once full defragmentation to go back to the property page and click the button under error checking marked check now. Make sure that both options are checked, and then click Start. Once more, this could take a while, but I hope that after all this is over you will not see the alert more.

  If your use of the disk is high (less than 5% free space), then you may need to delete the files and applications on the computer. A good target is 15% or more of space.

  You can also check to make sure that you has not changed somehow pagefile size to be a very large number. Do right click Desktop and select the Advanced tab, click the button settings running and select the Advanced tab again. Under virtual memory, make sure it is set to 2 048 MB or less. Also, make sure that the number is less than 50% of the total free space you have on your drive.

  If all else fails, use the XP CD to repair the installation of the OS.

  If you still see the error, after that you have enough free space, you can reformat the hard drive and reinstall windows if you wish. Make sure you save all your important data because it will be lost when reformatting the drive. To reinstall XP, just boot from the XP CD and go through the installation steps.
