More disk space on drive C on Vista

Hello

You have probably answered this in the past so forgive me.

I have a 160 gb hd partitioned into two 80 GB drives. Windows saves everything on C: and this is why it is now full while D: is empty?

I can re the drive partition to allow windows to access all 160 GB?

If this isn't the case, I can re partition to allow for more unused drive D: to be assigned to the C: drive?

Thanks for any help

Nik.

    You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

    A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

    The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%.

    If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space.

    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.

    Select Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, view, advanced settings and check the box in front of "show files and folders" and 'Hide protected operating system files' are unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second element. You should also make sure that the box before "Hide extensions of known file types" is not checked. Notwithstanding, there are some files that are hidden. Again, you will not see the System Volume Information folder.

  • If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

    If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

    You need to duplicate pictures unless you want to use the PSE as external editor for iphoto. In iphoto, your photos are stored in a library owner, which should never be marred with programs other than iphoto. Written to the iphoto library from outside iphoto is the best way to corrupt and lose all the photos it contains.

    So you can either set PSE as external editor and send the photos of in iphoto, or you export photos from iphoto to use them outside of this program.

  • Create more disk space

    I need to create more disk space on c:. I deleted all unvanted programs, deleted temporary Internet files etc., but this is not enough.

  • Add more disk space for the ESX host

    Hi all

    I need to throw more disk space to my ESX hosts.  I know how to bind records in Navisphere and present to the ESX host.  Once in the VI client, I "think" I need to go to the host and do a rescan of the HBA or something like that?  I'm a little unsure of the market of part VI to add more disk space.  Could someone just point me in the right direction?  Please note that I am looking to add more disks to existing hosts in existing clusters.  It adds no storage to a new host... rather an existing one.

    Thank you

    Jonathan

    You are on the right track.  Re-scan storage card, under the configuration tab select storage adapters, select the adapter and click on the link of the new analysis.  Then go to the storage section and there should be a link in the top right of the screen that says storage Add.  Click on that and it will guide you in adding/setting in form/naming of the new disk.

  • OS Windows vista 32 bit home edition Options more than Disk Cleanup doesn't give me any more disk space when used, y at - it update?

    Note: If you try to free up disk space, Disk Clean-Up is not the only way to do it. Ask if you want more ways to clean up your drive diisk.

    Addressing your question, the disk cleanup cannot free a lot of space if you liked - it varies the amount of temporary files are on your PC. If it doesn't increase disk space, it is not a major problem.

  • Does hibernation consumes more disk space on every hibernation?

    I know that hibernation takes disk space, but need more on every hibernation?

    Hi Joseph,.

    Thanks for joining us on the Microsoft Community forums.

    Hibernation and system restore are features that help users to restore their system or avoid the loss of data, in a number of situations, such as low battery (hibernation), misapplication or other corruption machine installation (System Restore). Combined, these devices consume a large percentage of the footprint. Due to the amount of space these use, they are easy to identify and to make decisions regarding.

    Hibernate is mainly used on laptop computers and saves your work on the hard drive, and puts the computer in a low power state.  Hibernate is used on laptop computers when the battery runs out under a certain threshold, or to turn off the computer without using Shut Down to save the batteries as much as possible.  On Windows Vista, hibernation is automatically used with sleep on desktop computers to keep a backup of open programs and work. This feature is called hybrid sleep and is used to save the State in case of power failure hard disk when the computer sleeps.  Hibernate all content in RAM (living) writes a file named Hiberfil.syshard disk.  Therefore, the size of the reserved Hiberfil.sys is equal to the amount of RAM in the machine.  In Windows Vista, the amount of RAM under construction in computers has increased significantly, as well as the footprint of disk hibernation is more sensitive than before. This space should be reserved in advance in order to ensure that, in a critical situation of low battery, the system can easily write contents of memory to disk.  Any user of mobile PC who has known his incoming computer automatically hibernation when the battery is very low allows to enjoy the peace of mind provided by the growth of the footprint.

  • Including disk space in drive C

    Hi, I have 148GB hard drive which has a car - 141 C and a D drive - 7.71 GB partitioned by HP. towards the end I was running low disk space. I did a disk cleanup and defragmentation on a regular basis. I checked the size of each folder on drive C, and then the total space and it does not match.

    That's what I got after checking the space on individual files:

    Go 122,18 includes Doc & settings, program files, and any other folder in the C drive (no hidden files - the option is disabled in my computer > tools)

    18,82 GB is therefore reported missing.

    Over the years, patch from Windows Update installers can take a lot of hard drive space. System Restore also feeds a small piece of space. Try to clean the system restore files by clicking on the 'More Options' tab in disk cleanup. Go down and clean the system restore.

  • Cannot free up disk space on drive c.

    Hello

    I have an older version of Windows XP on my computer and despite the use of the function of disk cleanup, add/remove programs functions and Windows components, so to try to defragment the computer, I receive the message that the computer is low disk space.  I took all the programs that I don't use and attempted to take off from documents unnecessary, games, etc., as well, but when I check the C: drive on the 'Properties' tab, it shows almost the entire hard drive used.  I do not know what but because I even do not play a lot of games on it, have images or music programs and I can't understand what is on the hard drive of the computer.  If it of the adware or spyware, I can not say because when I tried to install an adware/spyware detector, he cannot do that because there is not enough disk space!  Obviously, something takes all the space, but how I tell me what it is and more important still, how do I get my computer?  Thank you.

    I have this problem as well, and the question is larger than what these people are saying. If you open the folder and ctrl + a to select all, then go to properties, it will show that the contents of the folder is only about 5 or 6 concerts, 7 on it. the other 60 + concerts which takes the file are mysteriously non-existent. I have no idea what is causing this problem, but I can promise you that no amount of deletion it will manage because the memory is not be overtaken by what is actually stored on your computer.

    It sounds like you're looking in a directory (folder) that includes hidden files and hidden folders.  What is the name of the "folder" you are watching?

    While you have the mystery open in Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options.  Select the view tab.  Scroll down and select the option "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck the box (a little further down) to "Hide protected operating system files."  Click OK.

    The "disappeared" 60 GB now appears?

    See http://www.edbott.com/weblog/2005/05/tip-of-the-day-show-hidden-files-with-a-simple-script/

    I suggest that you cancel the above changes when you are finished.

    If you still can't find the missing stuff, download and run JDiskReport.  This will show you what takes up space on your hard drive.
