  • Drive hard keeps fills, using CC Cleaner & Deffrag for a few weeks now. I do go down, & then it fills again! Help, please.

    I'm running Vista 64, SP2 and my hard drive keeps filling.

    I used CC Cleaner and Deffrag program for a few weeks now.

    (just the CC Cleaner on its own takes me awhile because I don't want to delete everything I shouldn't)

    I have moved away from home to the office and checked to see if there are "too many connections (?)" just in case it's something in the process.  Honestly, I can't say if there are too many?

    I know that I don't want to lose the ability to remote into my office... so I leave them alone.

    I wanted to delete some 'hidden' files $Recycle... but am concerned that my operation files original files are mixed in the files?

    Is there a way to return to the top... few of the restoration copies?

    AND... How can I stop this from happening?  I spent hours trying to manage it.

    It comes down, then it fills again!

    Help, please.

    Hi tim8888,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    You can use Disk Defragmenter and check if the problem persists.

    To defragment your hard drive

    1. open the disk by clicking the Start button Defragmenter. In the search box, type and then Disk Defragmenter in the list of results, click Disk Defragmenter.

    2. under status, select the disk to defragment.

    3. to determine whether the disk should be defragmented or not, click Analyze disk.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Once Windows is finished analyzing the disk, you can check the percentage of disk fragmentation in the last run column. If the number is greater than 10%, you must defragment the drive.

    4. click on defragment disk. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/improve-performance-by-defragmenting-your-hard-disk

    If this does not work, put the computer into safe mode and check if the problem persists.

    To do this:

    1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.

    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.

    2. do one of the following:

    ·         If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

    ·         If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

    3. in the display Advanced Startup Options , use the arrow keys to select the safe mode option, and then press ENTER.

    4 log your computer with a user account with administrator rights.

    5. now check if the problem persists.

    (To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.)

    For more information about safe mode, click the following link:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    You can also check the hard disk for errors. To do this:

    1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

    2. right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

    3. click on the sur l' onglet tab Tools and then, under error-checking, click check now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that detects the scanning, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

    To perform a full disk check, select search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select automatically fix file system errors and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    4. click on Start.

  • Drive DVD keeps opening by itself

    Hello

    Since I bought my Dell computer in December drive keeps opening by itself regardless of whether or not there is a CD inside. As soon as I turn on the computer, it opens and opens again whenever I close. I checked properties which asserts that its correct operation and verification of diagnosis stated that all software is very good. Everyone knows about this problem? As I said this happened since I bought the computer and has become more common to the point that it is no longer remains closed unless the computer is off.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    There is a disconcerting fix that might work as it did for me. After having done a fairly extensive research going to recharge the device driver, to play with printed circuit boards and connections, I came across a post to discuss how tricky the mechanism and the sensor is to determine if it is closed or not.

    It turns out that the way a lot of people shut the drawer (which they shouldn't) by pressing on it, it can move one or two toothed wheels out of the correct position so shake the sensor opening and closing.

    By slightly pulling the drawer open while pushing the close button, you can pull the drawer toward the setting appropriate for the sensor and hopefully solve the problem.

    It worked for me, after spending months in the open position with no way to hold it closed.

    And for those who want to keep these things work correctly, just a little patient pe and use the open close button. Shoving in this regard is not a good idea.

  • drive hard keeps disconnecting

    not long ago, I bought a seagate 2 TB backup more hard drive (I think his name?) and not long after that I got it he began to act up, the hard drive itself works absolutely well but every now and then it will automatically disconnects neatly from my laptop, I have a mid 2012 15' mac pro which is in great need of upgrading and I receive the mac air the next month but it's quite annoying when your at half way through your files and it disconnects without warning. Does it randomly and even if I shift the wire slightly or sometimes even if not shift the wire or move the laptop at all always unplug it. has anyone else had this problem before? If so how to solve it? It's weird because when I'm in charge my ipad/phone with apple usb, I don't have problems with them, so I think it's just a really loose usb cable but is there anyway I could connect it wireless? This would be ideal, but I didn't buy a wireless hard drive, but they are too expensive

    Based on my experience wih other external Seagate, the problem could be a faulty cable or a faulty case. I deal with two external Seagate whose pens were bad, specifically the removable base containing power/data connectors. In one case, Seagate sent me a replacement base and that solved the problem. The other drive was out of warranty. So I extracted from its enclosure and installed in a decent House, after which he worked perfectly. However, you should also check your energy saving settings. It is possible that they interfere with file transfers.

    I wouldn't buy anything external to WD, Seagate drives, etc. I buy some player I want and install it in a good, such as OWC or Oyen digital body. I also tried Inateck and Anker, inexpensive cases with good results so far. These boxes make it easy to Exchange discs inside or outside for troubleshooting purposes, and you have the advantage of knowing exactly what player you are using. You can also use a USB 3 dock in this situation.

    Hey stueve2002,

    I'm sorry that you run in the no power problem! The first thing you want to check is your power cord. If the AC adapter is good (and it is plugged into a wall outlet good), turns the light on the computer next to which connects regardless of the State of the rest of the computer. Let me know if this (see the example below image) light or not.

    If it's light off, try a different outlet. Try one that has a work lamp or other device currently connected. If you have one available or try this adapter to another computer to see if it will fuel another computer, try another AC adapter. Check the connection of the DC end of the power cord in the power brick (big block in the middle of your power cord). Shake it and listen to the sounds of rattling. Check the entire cord for any damage.

    If this light is on, you see everything for example Caps/Num Lock lights flashing lights? If this isn't the case, does nothing when you press the power button? Don't you hear the fan, hard drive and the optical drive from spinning? The bright light? Nothing flashes on the screen?

    If you see signs of life at all (rotation of the fan, etc.), you can try to connect the computer on a secondary monitor to see if any picture on this subject.

    You can also try reinstalling the RAM. If you have more than one stick, try to use just one stick at a time in each slot to rule out the possibility of a bad location.

    Let me know what you find. I'll keep an eye out for your answer
