Low disk space on recovery (D), I know is not enough to remove things if there are suggestions to

Not enough space on the (recovery D drive. Whenever I do anything that this message appears, it also says I have only 1.8 mb left.  Can someone help me as to what I should do?, this has just started in the last days of 2/3 and the PC is very old. HP a1540n

The HPa1540n is of approximately 5/2006. Interesting that this problem has crept onro your machine recently. More than likely that someone is saved to a file or system restore points selected to be saved on the D partition.

Here's how you detect the files, but the solution is your responsibility (for XP and Vista): http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01555992

    Hello

    In NO case should remove anything from the recovery partition.

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. to reinstall Vista 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.

    Because your computer manufacturer did not provide a Windows
    installation disc, they rather created a recovery partition to be
    used if you need to reinstall Windows. You should never try
    to use this partition for something else. If you write it, you run
    the risk of losing your only option to reinstall Windows.

    On the other hand, is almost certainly to your computer with instructions
    Burn the content of this partition to a DVD so that you can reinstall
    Windows if the player crashes. If you have not already lost content
    of the partition, you should proceed immediately.

  • On the recovery partition low disk space

    My grandfather had assembled this computer and it seems to have two disks (disk Local (c) and (d) PRESARIO_RP), it seems I do not start to go or use PRESARIO somehow, even if it has RECOVERY software in this regard.  I did the math, my computer says that it is only about 2 GB (there are also a few minor cases on this subject), but the capacity has to be 11.2 GB.  I constantly receive say error message that it runs out of space, and when I shoot to the top of its properties, it says I have only 2.04 MG left on the disc.  Any thoughts?

    Hello

    COMPAQ PRESARIO is a brand of computers HP (Hewlitt Packard)

    If D: is 11.2 GB it's definitely the recovery Partition you already mentioned (PRESARIO_RP (d).

    If you get this message Low Disl space on the D: partition, please read what applies to COMPAQ computers:

  • Message "you run lack of disk space on RECOVERY (d :))".

    From: Robert judge

    On my new VISTA PC, I tried to use the built-in backup program.  The back-up apparently failed because there is not enough room on the "RECOVERY disk (d).

    Now, when I restart my new VISTA PC, I get this message:

    "Low Disk Space you run lack of disk space on RECOVERY (d). To free up space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click here... »

    When I "click here," I gave then "disk for RECOVERY (D :). cleanup.  Disk Cleanup offers "Office installation files" and "Basket", but both have "0 bytes" so I can't free up space in this way.

    When I open the backup and Restore Center and try to back up files, the program starts by "creating a shadow copy.  However, I then get a message:

    "An error has occurred...". There is not enough space to save the backup files.

    Free some disk space or change your backup settings. (0x81000005).»

    If I have little space on"RECOVERY", I only need saved Documents.  But even when I check only the 'Documents', I get the same error message.

    I think that I should delete the contents of the D RECOERY and try again.  However, there seems to be some files that are already installed on RECOVERY D.  However, I see a folder called "game 2008-06-08 backup 193208," which I suppose is the backup failed I tried on 6 June.  Should I just remove this folder and try again?  Or y at - it another way I should try to use the program "backup and restore"?  I'd appreciate advice.

    Mickie,

    As Ryan has noted, the recovery disk D should not be used for storage, do you have anything installed to him directly?

    If you're trying to backup, then cancelled or failed, then follow these instructions:

    1. Click on the Logo Windows (start)-> type to start searching the backup status and Configuration
    2. Next to the "automatic backup is currently activated" click on Turn Off
    3. Close the window.

    Then, we will need to remove the incomplete files on your D drive.

    To do this, you will need to click on start click on computer, and then double-click Disk Local (d)

    Here you will find two things, a Mediaid.bin file and a file with the same name as your computer (you can check by finding a backup set inside this folder), you must remove both to get rid of the message. Let us know if you need help, to know the name of this folder.

  • Low disk space cannot save

    My computer is trying to do his weekly auto return but gives me an error message saying unable to come back and do space low disk on my d: drive. I followed the instructions for the cleaning of Manager and do what he says but apperently clearly not enough of space. Then he tells me to free up more to remove any programs that are not used or not necessary. Does anyone know how to determine what files can I safely remove? I remove 2 items but then I had a ghost shortcut on my desktop which is not completely visible as others. When I try to delete them I get so error message say I remove them windows may not work properly are you sure you want to delete. Anyone know what this is all about?

  • I get a widow in my lower toolbar that rpet low disk space, and when I click it to try to delete the old files, it does nothing... so what do I do... ?

    I get a window in my toolbar lower repeating me low disk space and when I click it to try to remove the old files, it does nothing... so what should I do to get rid of the files in a "D" file...?

    Please perform these steps and the back of the report.

    Click Start, click computer, and it will display your hard drives and their letters. Normally C: is your operating system and where everything is stored (user: files, programs, Documents, photos, etc.). The D: is your RECOVERY partition and contains a copy of the first installation of the plant. The D: is small, about 9 to 15 GB, depending on the version of Windows.

    For example, my C: displays 306 GB free (unused) 374 GB (hard disk capacity). D: shows 2.11 free 11.5 GB GB. This is normal for HP, Compaq and others. New HP (Win 7) include an E: with less than 1 GB of capacity, to store a program utility tools. These so-called hard disks are in fact partitions installed on a physical hard disk, but not to concern. The c: partition free space is your important answer. BeAware that the D: and E: (if you have the configuration described above, are never to be used as restore points, or your personal files, they are allocated by the manufacturer to support the reinstallation of the operating system.) My example shows that my C: partition made only 68GB used on the disc, 306 GB is free (unused) 374 GB capacity.

    (1) report with numbers, and you can be helped.

    (2) Vista writes copies ghosts of all your documents (previous versions of the files). These can take many GB.

    (3) when he gets less than 20 percent free, you start to have problems with the disk defragmentation. Less than 10% results in critical problems, the problems of performance and for the worse.

    (4) if the number of free GB is really a low disk space issue, you need to move some of the large data files (pictures, videos,...) out on CD or DVD.

    If it helps, let me know. I'm not a moderator, just a user trying to use simple language to help others.

    Not enough space for which drive? This is a warning most likely a not enough space on the recovery partition.

    This occurs when Windows Backup is used without a dedicated external hard drive. Is that what you did?

    If so, access the recovery partition and delete all backups that you sent to there.

    Then you get an external hard drive and backup on it.

    Disk Cleanup removes temporary junk for the most part and only works its magic on the C drive.
