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.

  • Message "you run lack of disk space on the HP (E) tools'

    68 year old novice self-taught.  4 months ago, it happened after I saved a lot of photos on this drive thinking its where I kept safely them not knowing what it does automatically...  Then, the next thing I know it saturates.  I tried to enter that and the other to delete them without success.  I can't remove a restore date as today's date, but I can't go back in 2014 only this year. He also said that he could not download the updates as no space left.   Is there anyway I can get rid of the any tips to free up space.  I don't have a separate to drive in which he mentions.  I don't want to go back to the computer by default as he will lose everything I have updated.  The computer is a Windows 7 Home Premium and about 3 years.   In fact, it is a laptop I hate and who is sitting on a garbage can with a lead on my computer screen and I use a keyboard and a wireless mouse.   do not make laptops.   So I need help please in the simplest of terms.

    I suggest you go back to the shop and insist that they show you the HP_TOOLS partition is empty and everything is working normally.

    The Hewlett-Packard folder in the folder on your desktop can be slid on the HP_TOOLS disc once it has been emptied. This file is not necessary for the normal operation of your computer. If it isn't there, it simply means that diagnostic tools have not been installed.

  • You run lack of disk space on the drive Local (c)

    I get this error message "you run lack of disk space on Local disk (C to free space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files)" but I have 600 GB free on 671 GB on my C drive.

    This means that the disk is almost full.  Unless you free up space soon, your operating system will start to behave strangely and eventually boot is no longer in Windows.

    Windows operating system uses a part of the capacity of the hard drive for virtual memory. A good rule is to never come to 15 to 20 percent of the capacity of the hard disk.

  • Running out of disk space on RECOVERY D

    I have a Dell Inspiron 3647, which comes from the factory with Windows 7 installed. When 10 windows came out and was free, I've upgraded to Windows 10. After many problems of compatibility with my old programs, I decided to downgrade to Windows 7. It is more than 30 days, so can not return automatically to Windows 7. I had the Windows 7 installation disc and the drivers, so I did a clean install and re-installed Windows 7. After installing Windows 7, I got a message that says:

    "You run lack of disk space on RECOVERY D."

    Two things, I would like to know. What is the "RECOVERY D" partition used for? And how do I get rid of the message "you run lack of disk space on RECOVERY D?

    Any suggestion is appreciated.

    dino80

    You have upgraded to Windows 10 then manually installed Windows 7. The recovery partition now will no longer work. The score appears in Windows Explorer after a manual install but on a good factory install its hidden.

    Perform a clean installation correct using Diskpart clean everything before loading Windows 7.

  • Running out of disk space on RECOVERY E

    I had this problem once after into virtual memory. I went back to the settings and found my partition recovery with a limited space has a paging file of my C drive has not. Check your settings if the recovery partition has a virtual memory paging file, it must be set to None (check the box before "No paging file").

    Whenever I save my files to a disc, it is said that he has been completed successfully, and then later, I get a message that says Ox8000FFFF of catastrophic failure and I am running out of disk space on FACTORY_IMAGE (:)) IM Windows Vista. I'm not a novice in computers, I am a computer expert. When I pull my FACTORY_IMAGE folder, I don't know what are the files, so I'm aftaid of monkey with them. I deleted the old and useless files, but whenever I run the backup, I get the message of Ox8000FFFF of catastrophic failure later.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    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..

    Should be backups on an external hard drive or DVD; external hard drive preference.

    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.

    I guard thinks that Im running out of disk space on the D collection, however it only give me the option to empty the trash, if I said to clean files, nothing seems to happen.  This message is coming every few minutes and driving me crazy! any ideas, anyone please?

    Hi Ken, thank you for your response, I did what you recommended and found quota was not active, so disk check and who told me that everything was ok, I saw I was able to 'compress' disk space so I (tentavely!) tried this and with "compress" and "index this drive for a quick search" check now, I used space reading 4.92 and 2.75 GB free which is more than I had before (it was completely blue) now I have a little pink!
    Do you think I should just continue doing this regularly?  I'm sure that my SIMS game might be the cause, but do not know why, in any case thank you for your help at least makes me watch the places I was a little leery to go!
