• C: complete disc (149 GB) drive D: almost empty

  Hello

  Not a computer specialist, so please, be gentle. I can't find an answer to this on the forum that I can make sense!

  My Satellite hard drive is full!

  C: WIndows = 4.94 GB free of 149 GB
  Data d = 138 free GB GB 148

  So, a few questions:

  How to free space on drive C?
  Can I move some stuff on the disk D: (photos, music, & c) and the library still find?

  As I say, I am not an expert!

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  Of course, you can move all the data from C to D. In General, you must save all data on the D partition. If something goes wrong with the OS and you will be forced to install OS again, you can format the C partition only and all your important data on D will always be there.

  If you think about Windows libraries you can leave them on the C, but you can create the structure of the own folders on partitions D. If an application needs to pick up some info you need to be sure that certain application can find it. For this reason, check the available options.

• Not enough memory, but only one partition is almost empty. running Windows XP Home Edition

  My computer says there is not enough memory available to perform the printing.  When I tried to defrag, there is not enough memory to perform this function, either.   Several years ago a friend introduced (then new) computer with 2 partitions - C and F drive.  Everything I've done seems to be on the C drive.  Now the C drive = 935 MB free of 19.52 GB of capacity, while F = 56.62 free 56,79 GB GB.  How to release the rest of the disk on drive F?   There are a few things here, and reading of 'aid', it seems that they would be removed if I deleted a partition.   This computer is now my husband, who use it for e-mails, play Spider and a few Google searches.   I'm no computer expert, so I'm hoping for a simple solution.

  Your report reveals a number of issues. Your C partition has only 4% of free disk space. You must have a minimum of 15% but preferably 25% of free disk space.

  Normally, the report will contain details of your MFT (Master File Table), but this information is not there. I have not encountered this situation before and at the present time, I do not know its importance. The MFT is a master index of all the files on your computer and their location, which allows the operating system to access all the files needed to perform a given task.

  The reference to the DC4.bak and similar files may be indicating a problem with your trash. This is where deleted files are stored temporarily until the user decides to permanently remove the files. The update of Windows XP SP3 is installed? Right click on your my computer icon and select properties to view details. There were three MS updates and you may not have the latest updates.

  Your version of AVG is obsolete. You have version 8 and the current version is 10.

  You use Outlook Express, and it takes a considerable disk space. You can move the folder to your partition F store. This link explains how:
  http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#movestore

  You can increase the free space on the disk by deleting restore points, keeping the last restoration, using disk cleanup. Follow the instructions on how to do it.

  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.

  I recommend you download and install cCleaner, which is a best utility disk cleanup, but this would be better done later.

  You can create more free space in C by performing the steps suggested below.

  The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. 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%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

  When you have completed the above, restart your computer and display a new report Disk Defragmenter as well as answers to the different questions, I asked.

• I have a duel processor. C drive is nearly full E reader uses only 30%. What happens when the C drive is full?

  My laptop has 2 dual processor x 75 GB.  Tried to move the files to the E drive but they double and are difficult to locate. Life should be easier than this!  C drive is nearly full, E drive uses only 30%.  What happens when the C drive is full?

  [Moved from comments]

  Simple!

  You get a BIGGER hard drive.

  The 'norm' for laptops these days is at least 500 GIGs.

  Which is the same amount that I have in my table.

  2 x 250 GB.

  I have XP Pro on one single, Windows 7, on the other. (And each of them uses ONLY about HALF of these hard drives!)

  In a month or two, I'll upgrade to 2 x 1 terabyte hard drives. sounds a little one 'kill too much', I know, but hey, my computer IS able to be updated that he got so far it?

  Yours is in need of an upgrade too, suggest that there is, to solve your problem!

• D drive list almost complete, but after a Trojan horse, I can't access

  I had a Trojan horse? Used the recovery disk, but nearly full showing D drive and I can not access data on this subject. Cleaning disc has 0 bytes. Files / photos shows empty. How to recover my D drive or D drive data or clean the files it contains? I can't drive D. help, please.

  This is / was your system recovery disk!  You shouldn't put anything here and just left alone.  Now the problem is a bit more complicated because we don't want to do damage for retrieving information stored there.  You must contact the technical assistance of the manufacturer of the computer service and know how to undo what you did on the recovery Partition.  We know nothing about them were leaving recovery or processes as they vary from a constructor (and have been created by the manufacturer and not Microsoft) and we don't have access to this information.  Only they can help you recover recovery information (you probably somehow helping move everything you moved it).

  I'm sorry, we can not be more useful, but because it is the recovery partition, you have to manage with the manufacturer of this problem.

  Good luck!

• Satellite C660 - D partition is full, but I only use the C partition

  I get a message that hard drive, D drive is full, but I don't use that drive C. I thought D was for elements of recovery. How can I decide what elements should not be in d and how how to decide what to delete/move?

  > I thought that D was for elements of recovery
  This isn't 100% correct.
  Of course, Toshiba Recovery files are placed in the folder of recovery on the D partition, BUT this does not mean that you cannot store other files on that partition.
  You can.

  >. How can I decide what elements should not be in D
  Before saving the files on the HARD disk, you will be asked for the place. You can always decide where these files should be stored.

  > and how to decide what to delete/move?
  It s your own decision to tell what files you want to move / delete.
  If you don't care about t of some files and some files are not important for you, you could remove it.

  I always install my programs on the system C partition. But the independent files such as music (mp3 files), images (jpeg, jpg, etc...) I always record on another partition

• Canon Pixma MG5320 printer does not print. Ink tanks are full, but the pages are blank. Help, please.

• 'L' disk is full, but no files visible

  Original title: 'L' full but no visible files

  I only use my drive of 'L' of 500 MB for backup.  I deleted almost all of the files it contains, but I can't save or copy files to this disc, because Vista tells me that it's full.  Help?

  Hi Coribill,

  If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

  . What is the capacity of memory of the file or folder you are trying to save?

  If the file you are trying to backup is over 500 MB, then it is not possible to save.

  I suggest you to save the files, if you have more than 1.5 GB free space to perform the backup.

  You can also try another drive that has more space and make the backup.

  If you do not have enough memory to perform the backup of your internal hard drive, you can connect your external hard drive in this case.

  Follow the steps in the link below to delete files in the drive using disk cleanup.

  Hello

  Some computers have E: as the recovery instead of D partition; to reinstall the OS if necessary, due to the failure of the system or faults

  Click Start > computer to see what size drive E: is and what he says on this subject.

  If she says it's the recovery disk and / or if it is under 15-19GBs it is the recovery partition and you must contact the manufacturer of your computer for assistance with this problem.

  Another reason is there to make you your own set of recovery of the disk. Ask the manufacturer how to.

  If it is not the recovery drive, please after return.

  Hello PhilipTanams,

  You will not be able to move the files to the C: drive on another drive Windows. All Windows files must be in the C: drive.

  Method 1:

  If you have personal files or data, you can move these files to another drive that increases the size of the C: drive by adding
  Method 2:

  If you have any other partition which has an empty space in it, you can extend the C: drive by adding the empty spaces to the C: drive.

• Is VMware 4.1 - possible to do automatic VM on host migration when LUN is near full capacity

  Hi all

  We have VMware 4.1 - is possible to do automatic VM on host migration when LUN is near full capacity.

  Suppose I have configure if a logic unit number is nearly 85 percent of capacity, I can do a configuration that VM will be moved to another host without any manual intervention.

  Thank you

  Saurabh

  Welcome thr community - first question I have is how you configure your virtual disks - you're thick or thin provisioning - if you use thick Provisioning, the size of the virtual disk won't grow - if you use Thin Provisioning disks will develop as spaced is used in order to run in a situation where you run the risk of cluttering the VMFS datastore - this risk is the reason why best practice is not use Thin Provisioning for machines of production

  Now, to answer your question - first thing to keep in mind vmotion does not move when the virtual machine is stored it simply moves the execution instance of the virtual machine to an ESXi host to host anotherESXi. You take advantage of Storage vMotion - but in vSphere 4 storage vMotion is not automatic.

  With vSphere 5, that you would be able to use Stirage DRS and that will automatically pass the virtual machine as the disk fills up.
