My hard drive seems to be fill by itself.

What is your computer brand and model

Is your Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit?

To study disk space, use download and install Treesize (freeware).

Information about Treesize
http://www.Jam-software.com/treesize_free/

When you open Treesize scan select in the Menu and you will see a list of drives. Click on C and it will generate a list of files. Display names and 6 larger files sizes and the total at the top of the list.

I'm not the person who started the thread to which you gave this advice, but I share the same problem.  My hard drive seems to be fill by itself.  I have scanned for viruses (McAfee) and malicious software (Spybot S & D) and there is none.  It seems that after 10 to 20 GB of space to clear, within days he is new.  I look in the current process and I have no idea what these things are.

I have Windows 7 (SP1) Home edition Premium 64 bit running on a desktop computer HP p6270z with an Athlon II x 4 620 processor, 2.6 GHz, I bought in 2007.

The C drive is 452 GB and right now I have 731 MB of free space.

TreeSize tells me the following:

total line of the top = 123.6 GB

6 points below albums that are:

40,5 GB Windows

Users of 39.0 GB

ProgramData 22.2 GB

11.6 GB Program Files (x 86)

6.0 GB [4 files]

2.7 GB program files

It doesn't seem to be accounting for the majority of which is placed on the hard drive.

I want my disk space hard back.   I have a 452 GB HDD and my data contains 39 GB yet I have no place.  It is at the origin of things is not to work properly.

  • Disc SSD C / W PC - 7 F - hard drive seems to stop while riding this last

    I had a PC W-7 HP 64-bit on a black disk WDC.  It was nice, but I wanted to improve performance (I had already upgraded to 16 GB of RAM and the processor Intel is a non i5).  So I bought an SSD Intel wiped the WDC lifeguard, re-copied black on black of WDC data files and installed W - 7 on the SSD.  The two disks are installed via internal SATA 6.0 GB/s connectors.

    Everything is much faster now.  Microsoft Updates just blaze in full.  Even the W - 7 four-color logo never has a chance to complete the rotation before the login screen appears.

    There is only an oddity.  I expect the WDC Black to be recognized immediately.  If I look at computer after the startup, the SSD and black WDC are displayed correctly.  But if I double-click and then double-click on one of the folders, the system stops for a few seconds before displaying the contents of the folder.  The PC seems to be mounting.  Double-click on later are never slow down, only the first.

    Is it possible to force Windows to recognize the WDC black during startup?

  • Satellite Pro A10 does not start (HARD drive seems to be missing)

    Hello, I hope someone can give me some advice on this problem: I have a 2 years Satellite Pro A10. Recently, it starts not at all and I noticed that if I look at directories on the C: drive using the command prompt, it said "file not found". Cannot start Windows at all, not even in Safe Mode.
    Using the recovery disks is I help spread messages as no such fixed disc and 'Extraction impossible '.
    is - that say I have:
    1 a hard drive damaged
    2. defective connections on the HARD drive? -If Yes, how I fix that?

    the system didn't crash before it happened, she doesn't have to load up when I started it.
    Would appreciate any help.

    Thank you
    SCL

    Hello

    Well, it could be a hardware malfunction of HARD drive. Yes, it is possible. But I don t think that there is a bad connection. You used this HARD over the last two years and you n t change the settings of connections on this HARD drive. Is this good?
    If it possible s so I suggest you of to completely format the HARD drive.
    Then try to start the recovery procedure.

    However if the HARD drive has a functioning default (ie. crushing of the head), so the only way is to replace this device.

  • My h8-1214 is EXTREMELY slow. Hard drive seems to be guilty. Install an SSD?

    How do you install a hard drive that is faster than the stock drive 5600 rpm on this machine?  It is so SLOW to start and the Sims 3 loading lasts 30 minutes.  My last machine (HP 4 years) was actually FASTER than this new machine. (as is my laptop (H7) 5 year old and 3 years Pavilion HPE 2101 my wife).    Windows Performance Index shows 7.3 to 7.5 - 7, 4-7, 4-5, 9 (the hard drive)... Obviously, I can't replace the drive since it's the startup disk and contains the restore information, but I can install another (faster) drive and install games and data to load on this subject?  I upgraded the video card (obviously) with the appropriate PSU 700 watt and looked up his score, but need help for this.

    Well, I talked to my brother (MS Certified tech with about three degrees of the computer) and he walked me through a few settings.  It turns out the USB boot all that was the culprit.  Disable it decreased my boot time less than a minute as the seat of the machine.  So happy that I called him first before you undo everything.  He called for him before you post here, of course.

  • Satellite L300-1BV case in bulk and seems like loose hard drive

    Hi, not a huge problem but just thought I'd get extracted. Case seems to be its loose where I left my arm on the black band near the mouse and power buttons, like when I rest my arm when you type it clicks and squeaks on the right side and getting on my nerves. (Don't ask).

    Another thing, the hard drive seems to loose, since that is also clicking on. I tried to tighten all the screws available as I can see, but nothing has changed or helped... everyone knows a similar problem? Don't want to send it so that can be helped because it will take a while to come back and I need to use the laptop every day for work.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello.

    It seems you have weird problems with your laptop. I think you did some updates to the laptop and now you have these problems. The Panel of the black band, if you see a space between the mouse control panel and the microphone at the entrance, you have left a black thing (square shaped) somewhere before you put everything together. This black thing is used to cover the wireless switch. Also, if it could not solve the problem, it is normal if the gap occurs after a bad upgrade.

    Yoru driver drive HARD, there are several reasons for this. * I propose to restore the laptop to the service to check * I hope you didn't break the security bulletin or they will charge you a bit.

    Kind regards.

  • external hard drive is missing. But drive turn on!

    Hello

    My Iomega external hard drive seems to be missing on my mac. But I see the drive light on when you are connected to the USB port.

    I use an old iMac & an Iomega hard drive that worked without problem. I took travel & when I got home, I connected on the iMac, but I don't see the icon. I find deposit on Finder & also I tried turning / slideshow, external drive on Finder.I see all other connected external drives but not this one. I do not see it listed in the disc utilities. I tried to connect to another Mac & still have the same problem. Can someone tell me what is happening?

    I've never used the Iomega drivers on the mac, but everything worked well. Do I need to download Iomega drivers?

    It seems that the Iomega company is more then what I do and who should I speak?

    I use the last BONES of El capitan.

    Any guidance will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    If possible, try a different port or a different cable; the light in the external hard drive enclosure

    can work OK, while the data flow uses different threads in the cable. In addition, the housing

    (also known as speaker) can have bad elements which could affect the ability of

    the internal hard drive. You may need to get a replacement suitable for box

    Use with this hard drive inside.

    The old drivers of this company would be unnecessary; the recent OS X has all the people.

    There are several reasons why the external drive may be badly behave. Between the

    cable, taken & /or port and failure internal circuit that connects the drive

    inside the computer outside, these can be remedied by the use of replacement cases.

    So there are words that can mean 'wardrobe' of 'accommodation' - or "case."

    If the unit is based on port-power supply through the USB cable only, other issues can happen.

    Most of my closed external hard drives use an external power supply. You can

    must obtain and use (please bring extra) quality additional backup included the HD discs.

    For examples, see OWC macsales.com. Specifications and information are here.

    Sometimes, you can use disk utility to see if you can get an external drive to be 'seen '.

    and if so, do 'mount' - sometimes the other question, trying to unmount or eject.

    At this point, close to 12:30, I hope the case is something simple. A cable? A port?

    In any case...

    Good luck & happy computing!

  • external hard drive is not displayed in disk utility

    I have a drive (2 TB) seagate desktop external hard, while the backup time machine HDD power adapter was pulled from the socket. Now the hard drive is not recognized (both on the utility disk and office) of my mac pro book works on os x el capitan, seeing the hard drive is disabled, but I can feel and hear the operation of the hard drive. Also when I hang up my iMac running os x yosemite on the hard drive can be used and seems to work very well.

    I tried to reformat the hard disk, but it has failed it is still not recognized on my mac pro book

    Hello amartnez,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    From your post, I see that your drive external hard seagate was pulled from the socket during backup with Time Machine, and now it is not recognized by your MacBook Pro. I know how it is important to ensure that you are able to connect your external drive to your Mac. I have something I want you to try.

    Because the external hard drive seems to be working on another computer (iMac), please try a different USB port on your MacBook Pro and see if it recognizes the external hard drive on the desktop and in disk utility. If so, that means you have a problem with this specific USB port on the MacBook Pro.

  • Toshiba Satellite S50 - A - is dead HARD drive?

    Hello.. I hope I can get some answers from other owners of S50 - A or least maybe a tech?... are these discs defective or only supposed to last two years so you get out of your wallet again so Toshiba infiltrates the money from you?

    My father bought this laptop for me for the College and school so I can work and play at the same time it's about 2 years old...

    Model of care &: S50 - A Satellite, model # PSKKEC - 00G 007 - Intel i5 - Geforce GTX A 740 m - to-SATA 1.

    2 years... Since purchasing computers laptops are pretty perfect, I have done regular upward Dungeon defragments hard-ware/anti virus scans and every quarter I ran across a sweep of care system advanced... everything was fine.

    The only games I play quite a lot on this laptop is counter-strike Global Offensive by H1Z1... a week ago, I was on teamspeak and it said that I had a driver error and tells me to restart, I did... and that's where it went all down hill...

    I had a lot of mistakes, lack of funds etc., tried to do a reset from the pc, is not called zero also tried to try a restore of the system without success... hard disk started vibrating and making a 'written' sound (as the disc has been actively writing incredibly fast..) it was so distorted, I couldn't save any recent stuff... (last back up I did was about 3-4 months before)... no all my photos & academic materials are uploaded to servers online, so I was Biggie don't like meh, whatever... I listen to music on spotify so care to lose all that.

    My only option was to format the disk and do a clean install... what worked for one week... was able to update all my drivers download/install geforce experience and my anti virus program, log in to my school credentials and downloaded steam... everything was going a lot and yesterday after a session of one hour of h1z1 I quit the game and when I tried to open my browser google chrome that nothing answered, the button start to reset would not answer the computer literally just does not react anymore than all...

    Forced a restart and got bsod - unmountable_boot_volume - entered the command... prompt he says pretty well sound replacing each bad cluster known to man... nothing was fixed/repaired... do you have a chkdsk c:/r/f and got this - an unspecified error 766f6c756d652e63 3f1

    I am ready to throw in the towel on this... I guess that Toshiba gives a 1 year warranty on all hardware related Articles?... so there is no point in calling me to and ship unless I want to pay an arm and one leg for another 1 TB sata-one that will only last another 2 years?... or should I go to some place local tech and get them to install a crucial 2.5 "500 GB SSD?

    People of any options?... I am open for them.

    Thanks for reading,

    See you soon.

    Hello!

    This pretty old laptop is equipped with a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that you can use a HARD drive up to 128 GB s or let say a 120 GB HARD drive.

    Normally, you can choose each up to 120 GB HARD drive with IDE interface.

    If you want to upgrade to a larger HARD drive and a SATA HDD is right!

    The slot in the HARD drive seems to be placed at the bottom of the unit near the edge of the laptop.
    To remove the disc HARD turn the computer upside down.
    Loosen the 2 screws and remove the cover of the HARD drive during the liberation of the locks.
    Remove the HARD drive cable connector HARD drive. Be sure to not reach
    damage to the connector. Place the mounting of the HARD drive on a flat surface and remove the 4 screws.

  • Cannot connect and use 2 hard drives Canvio de Store.E at the same time

    Hello

    I have 2 devices Store.e Canvio: 2 TB and 3 TB respectively but it seems that I can't connect/use them at the same time, as if I do it, one of them (the last I connected), becomes inaccessible ("access denied").

    If I disconnect the first device I connected, the other starts to work,

    Is an odd question, and I can not find someone to live something similar...

    No idea how could it be the cause, or how can I solve it?

    Thank you

    I m wondering if the same problem is displayed using another computer or another USB hub with an additional power supply.

    From my point of view of the few this problem could be related to the low power provided by a single USB port.

    The two hard drives seem to support the USB 3.0 standard.
    The USB 2.0 port common provides 500mA and USB 3.0 requires 900mA
    This means that two USB devices connected simultaneously use 1800mA which could be too much for the USB ports for s laptop

  • Tecra S3 on Linux: hard drive not recognized

    Hello

    I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Tecra S3 and I'm happy with it, except for one important thing: I can not install Linux on it.

    I tried with the latest versions of Fedora Core and Ubuntu, the hard drive seems to be detected, but it is not recognized at the time of installation. I guess it's a matter of (too) new chipset Serial ATA.

    You have any recommendations or do you intend to contribute to the kernel modules in Linux/order that this model could be installed on Linux?

    Also note that I remember that I had the same problem when I tried to install Windows XP from a CD (not the recovery cd): the hard drive has not been detected and the installation failed.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I can t believe that you can not install a Windows operating system.
    You formatait once again the HARD drive? I recommend to format the HARD drive completely, then install the operating system.
    In addition, if you want to use the Windows operating system, you must use the recovery CD because this image included all the necessary drivers.

    If you want to work with the Linux operating system, I recommend using the Knoppix distribution. In this case you n t need to install anything. This Linux you can start from the DVD or CD and it works as a Linux operating system normally

  • Replace HARD drive under warranty?

    This request is on your laptop L655 - 17H.

    I think my hard drive might start to fail, so I wonder if Toshiba it will replace, even if it is currently in a State of 'working '. I recently have slow downs and several boots failed, but this issue seems to have stabilized itself for now (the hard drive seems to have reconfigured the bad sectors).

    Given that the threshold for sectors reassigned on this player is 36 (until he comes in and mark it as a failed disk) and 13 of them have been used in such a life short (less than 300 hours), I think the HARD drive in this book can be considered to be defective.

    Would Toshiba share my view and replace the drive under warranty, or what I should expect some sort of catastrophic failure before going through the motions?

    As a side note, Toshiba does not seem to be recognizing the serial number of this laptop, which is strange.

    Thanks a lot for any input,

    Gareth

    What you read here on this forum are of different opinions, but what you need is the real answer, and you can get it from Toshiba service only guys.
    They can check your HARD drive and replace it if necessary.

    Make a call, explain the situation and hear what they think of this.

    What you need to do every day is the backup of data.

    Hello

    (!) Sounds like the HARD drive is faulty.
    I think you need a new ;(

    Usually, you can use any HARD SATA 2.5 drive.

    You can order the HARD drive and could replace it yourself it s not very tricky as you can see here:
