my hard drive is nearly full room for 10 years, window security and system updates, do I keep these files?
I have a 10 years, Dell Dimension 4100 purchased with windows ME, set level to windows XP. On the updates of windows years for safety and the operating system has consumed almost my hard disk space. I have to keep these files? The last s DOWNLOAD integrates all the previous updates?
You mean the $NTUninstall files? These are usually safe to delete, read here first:

I'm next to me, I hope that there is a way to get back them.
I was told my someone from tech apple to my iPhotos on an external hard disk to make more space on my MacBook Air, which seemed to work fine. We also have this same external hard drive my Time Machine.
I noticed a small box from time to time come and say something like, Time Machine is running out of space to record new data, you want to delete things until March 2013 etc. He asked me a few times and I said yes, all the way until June 2014. Now just disappeared in my iPhotos to find some pictures of my daughter when she was a baby (in 2012) and there is nothing there before 2014. I'm completely panic, is there something I can do?
Thank you, Kate
PS
This is the first time I've posted here, this is the right place to ask this question?
Can specify you:
You have time machine back ups and an iPhoto library on the same application - no time machine back ups of the library?

Frequent hard drive exchanges are causing problems for activation of Windows 7?
I am new to Windows 7. I frequently switch (turn) the hard drive on my system - say every 6 weeks or more. I use the same set of 2-3 disks and restore my system from a disk image every time when I exchange them. Change the drive often happens to cause problems with the activation of Windows 7? Thank you.
Hi Lone Star,
Change the hard drive on systems not prompt swap you for activation but after that the HDD on another system if the operating system is validated activation would be asked that the physical address of machines would have changed.

MY c DRIVE is nearly full. Can I use my external hard drive because it has a lot of space
My ' it shows only 123 MB available disc. I have a 500 GB external hard drive, but am not sure how to use it to free up space on my drive "C".
Any help would be much appreciated.Roy WarnerHi Roy,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
The description of the problem you have provided, I understand that your C drive is full and trying to move some information on external hard drive.
I will certainly help you in this matter.
If you have data files in the C drive, you can go ahead and move them to the external hard drive. You will not be able to move the files to the program on the external hard drive.
In order to get the free space in C drive, you can go ahead and uninstall the software bit that you use it often.
See the link.

You can also delete files using disk cleanup, which would reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space.

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!

My C drive is nearly full, but my D drive is almost empty
Hi all. I have a hard drive 1 TB, divided in a 250 GB drive C and 750 D player. My problem is that the C drive is nearly full, but the large D drive is almost empty. I have urgent need to move the partition, or transfer a huge chunk of files from C to D drive. The first would be better, or even delete the partition and have one disk, but I tried to move the partition using the Windows utility, and all I could do was reduce the C drive. I don't see how to remove the partition either.
Which leaves the possibility of moving one of the large folders on drive C to D, which seems risky, but an it vendor told me that I could move the big folder of users (75GB). It seemed risky, but being desperate I tried - and got the error code 0 x 80070057. I would be grateful for any advice on how to solve this stupid problem.
You can safe your Documents, photos, videos and music files to the other disk. Navigate to the folder users, your user folder. Right-click on each one and choose move.
Remember that the overall performance will begin to suffer when you exceed 75% c in use.
However, your real problem is the fact that your hard drive is partitioned and it need not be.
Copy all your data on the D drive in an external storage device.
Right click on computer, select Manage
Click on disk management
Right click on D and choose Delete volume
Right click on the C partition and choose the volume of measurement. Extend it up to the limit.
Copy the data on your external storage on the largest new C space
Now, you'll have one almost your entire partition 1 TB.

How much better the partition of the HARD drive for dual boot: Windows 8 and Linux
Hello
I am a newbie in Windows 8, linux, Partition...
I want to use my new laptop with windows 8 pre-installed on the following:
Create a Dual Boot Windows 8 / Ubuntu
Create on my drive C (single disk on my laptop):* a partition for the system
* one for Windows 8
* one for data and
least for Ubuntu OSMy goal is:
-to install VmWare on Windows 8 and run Splat Checkpoint with virtual machines to make the FCTC laboratories.
to install GNS3 on Ubuntu for CCNP Labs but with GNS3 to access the files in the data partition
I have a Toshiba Satellite with 750 GB and 8 GB of RAM.
According to you, what is the best size for my scores?
Is there a better way to partition my C drive on my goal?Best regards
I don't know if this is the right section, sorry for that. Feel free to move this thread in the appropriate section *.
I think the size of partitions depends of the you want to use and install other software.
So if you have a lot of software which runs under the Windows System I recommend to choose a larger size to win 8 partition.However, given that you have a 750 GB HARD drive, you could take 200GB for Win 8, 100 GB to Linux and the rest of the HARD drive size, that you can use for data.
By the way: I found Nice YouTube video how to create a dual boot using 8 Win and Linux http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Yd2jK-7Jg

I bought Windows 7 a few months back and install it on my PC. Now I am having problem blue screen frequently.
Experts say the drive is likely to crash any day. I want to change the hard drive.
It will be possible to transfer Windows 7 from the old hard drive to new drive hard (I intend to abandon the old hard drive).
Is that permissible? Thank you pl. replyHSG1
Yes, you can transfer it, you may need to reactivate by phone:

Please, I need pc
Original title: windows 7 and bios does not see the hard drive. but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files... Ive a hp Pavilion, what to do?
Check the BIOS for hard drive setting.
Make sure that you do not connect the drive to a SATA/RAID port.
Old IDE drives - check the jumper on the drive (use "Cable Select" as a starting point), the BIOS must also be set in legacy/compatibility/IDE mode. Note: If you currently use the AHCI mode, then switch to IDE mode may cause Windows to boot.
