More than expected in the C: drive space consumed

I installed Windows Vista Business 32 SP2 in my computer using the Dell reinstallation DVD as my old HDD crashed. I created a primary partition of 25 GB (c) for the installation. After installation is complete free space left in C: is only 10 GB. What's taking so much space? This can be corrected?

Hey Vinod Dhaka

with the dell recovery discs you would normally follow their instructions to reinstall vista

put simply you never made a big enough partition

Microsoft recommends for vista professional who was anyway too small 40gbs

"HDD 40 GB at least 15 GB of available space (20 GB for the basic home edition"

you have updates of programs etc to install

and you say not the size of your hard drive, or how it is implemented

use of your hard disk space correctly and reinstall vista or read this tutorial below to remove expand partitions

    Hi motionpicturedirector,

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

    (a) click on Start , then run.

    (b) type msconfig , and then click OK.
    The System Configuration utility dialog box appears.

  • Can transfer easily to be run more than once on the receiving system?

    Can transfer easily to be run more than once on the receiving system?

    I installed Win 7 on a separate XP drive and I am able to switch between them starting from their respective readers.

    I made an easy transfer between them and now intend to install it and test my programs on Win 7.  Once I've got everything working properly, and that all migration issues are resolved, I would like to make a clean second run Easy Transfer of XP just before the final switch to Win 7.

    "Clean run" I mean I want all the Win 7 system to be completely replaced by the new data and the parameters of the XP system.

    Easy transfer will do that?

    What I would recommend that you do, is create a new account user in Windows 7, then restore the backup Windows Easy Transfer in the new account and delete the old account that you created in the first place.

  • Window 2 day using FRA more than expected recovery.

    Hello, can someone please help me understand why my 2 day recovery window uses a lot more space FRA than I expected.

    Here is some basic information.

    Oracle 11g R2

    Windows 2008R2

    The database size = 16.77 GB

    I have my FRA

    Newspaper archives = 10.5 GB (approximately 2-3GBs daily)

    Backupset = 1.63 GB (500MB per day)

    Control file = 16.3 MB

    Copy of image DB 13.7 GB

    Journal online = 30MB

    I use the Oracle out of the box back up strategy

    Run {}

    allocate channels oem_disk_backup device type of disk.

    retrieve the copy of the database with the tag "ORA_OEM_LEVEL_0".

    extra strength 1 cumulative backup copies = 1 to retrieve the copy with the tag database 'ORA_OEM_LEVEL_0 ';

    }

    FRA my height is 60 GB.

    I do not perform backups on tape (which RMAN knows)

    Everything is on disk.

    I expect at some point that Oracle will review files outside of my window of recovery to be recoverable, but I am struggling to figure out when.

    Now, if I put a window of recovery of 1 day (it's the current setting). It builds up to about 23 GB then it will start to have recoverable files. If I put a 2 day recovery window, it will consume all of 60GB and ends up falling. Why a 2 day recovery window is to consume as much space (more than double)?

    I know that everything is on the disk and maybe that's my problem. In my scenario when oracle would consider to be recoverable files?

    I thank very you much for your time.

    Hello again;

    on "oracle considers the files to be recovered.

    The only answer I have ever seen on this is when "Oracle feels the pressure of space", rather vague.

    Be careful when you use the window of recovery that you put it high enough to cover yourself.

    Worth the trip:
