• disk cleanup does not add any free space on a local disk C

  Windows 7 has been reinstalled and nothing seems to just I have 750 GB hard disk, but it shows only 698. I use disk cleanup, but free space is never added to a local drive C before windows 7 has been reinstalled I would delete system restore points and free space is always added to C Local dell drive replaced the hard drive and the motherboard. is there a way to check why no free space has been added and why I only show 698 GB when I have 750 I jump someone has an answer

  There are things which never appear even though you have set to see hidden and system folders.  There is a free program called Treesize that you can download from http://www.download.com which will show you everything on your hard drive.  One thing about the 750 GB 698 vs.  People judge 1000 K, but windows account in binary, which means that a K is 1024.  So when count you in decimal, you will get the 750 000 000, but in binary, it's less.

  Good luck.

• How can I increase my c:/local disk space, without losing my data? ___

  My d:/local disk is NTFS format and six times larger than my c:/local disk which is the FAT format. Drive c:/local is used with the program files window, & so I can't install the important updates, due to lack of disk space. My drive d:/local has about 90% of disk space.

  What I can do or how can I increase my c:/local disk space, without losing my data?

  Using a third party tool, for example Acronis Disk Director (you also want to convert C: to NTFS)

  Thanks in advance

  Kevin,

  Looks like you'd boot from USB if you want to save you money from having to buy hard drives.  You probably want to redirect your logs to host a server syslog for long-term storage.  If their initialization of the local disk or USB flash will make no difference when it comes to performance and running in a cluster.

• all my data is all save on the local disk c, how to share the data with the other drive, local drive d.

  all my data records on the local disk c, how to share the data with the other drive, local drive d.

  Hi Jasonbichard,

  1. what type of drive is D? Is - this another partition on the same disk?

  2 Windows operating system you are using?

  You can change the location of the disk to save the data in the d: instead of C: and check if it helps.

  a. navigate to the location (username) C:\Users\.
  b. right click on the folder that you want to change the location, and then select Properties.
  c. click on the location tab and change the location to D: drive.

  d. click on apply and Ok.

• How can I get rid of non-existent drive (local disk Q :) that is displayed on the screen of my computer?

  original title: How do I get rid of non-existent hard disk that appears on my computer screen?

  I have a local disk (q) that loads automatically on my folder "Computer" [the folder that shows all hard drives and peripheral storage removable]. The drive does not exist and when I double click above it says "Q:\\ is not accessible access is denied." I unplugged my external hard drives, and these drives disappear from the screen by this disc remains still.  How can I get rid of him?

  I found an article from third party in which people have found a solution:

  Hide the Local disk (q) added by Office 2010 Beta

  I hope this helps! (you can back up the registry first)

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk

• Why Windows 7 displays an incorrect amount of free disk space / used on my DVD - RW drive?

  Why Windows 7 displays an incorrect amount of free disk space / used on my DVD - RW drive?

  Windows 7 can show the incorrect amount of free and used space in serious DVD - RW or DVD + RW media properties.  After burning data on the disk, Windows 7 could show that there are 0 bytes of used space and free space available on the disk capacity.  In reality, the amount of used and free space on the disk is reversed.

• Volume D: is dirty. Check Disk Local Disk d does not solve the problem

  Whenever I start my computer under WindowsXP SP3, chkdsk runs indicating that the D: Volume is dirty.  He noted no other problems.  I tried to run check disk Local Disk d with two checked options, but it does not solve the probem.  What should I try next?

  That is right.

  First of all, let us look at the ideas of the Microsoft support engineer:

  I would never not follow the suggestion of Microsoft Engineer in method 1.  This idea makes no sense.

  The Microsoft Support Engineer method 2 does not work for you (or most people), unless you have a XP installation CD bootable authentic with the same Service Pack as your installation.  In your case, you would need a true bootable XP with SP3 installation CD and most of the people do not have such an animal.  It is therefore extremely unlikely that will help you at all - and if your file system is damaged or dirty, I of course never suggests that in the first place until your file system is straightened.

  Volumes that contain file system errors is known as "Sales". When a volume is dirty, he has known file system errors, and you must run chkdsk on the volume to repair the problem.

  When XP starts, it automatically checks the on each volume's dirty bit (C, D, E, etc.), and if any volume is dirty, XP will automatically run chkdsk/p on next reboot on the volumes in an attempt to clear the dirty bit.  Which does not clear the bit of impurity or it may take several passes.

  If the volume dirty bit, one is set, this indicates that the file system may be in an inconsistent state. The dirty bit can be set because the volume is online and has some remarkable changes, because changes have been made to the volume and the computer shutdown until the changes have been committed to disk, or because corruption has been detected on the volume. If the dirty bit is set when the computer restarts, chkdsk runs to verify the consistency of the volume.

  Whenever you start a computer that is running one of the Windows XP operating system or the Windows Server 2003 family, autochk.exe is called by the kernel for all volumes to check if the volume dirty bit is set. If the dirty bit is set, autochk performs an immediate chkdsk /f on that volume. Chkdsk /f verifies file system integrity and attempts to fix any problems with the volume.

  A simple power interruption is something that could result in a disc was marked as dirty.  Have you had a power failure these days?

  You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the command prompt window.  Here's how:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open the command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive D, type:

  fsutil dirty query D:

  The sample output:
  Volume D: is dirty
  Volume D: is not dirty

  Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

  You can not enter any command to clear the dirty bit - only chkdsk /r or chkdsk/p can clear the dirty bit.

  When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you decide to schedule the chkdsk with error correction during the next reboot, the results appear in the viewing Application event log.  You should look there for the chkdsk log to see what happened and no problems after running chkdsk.

  To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Search the Application log for an event originally by Winlogon, something like:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Winlogon
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 1001
  Date: 04/08/2010

  The dirty bit fade not until chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p) tracks clean when the system reboots (as in the example) or when you run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console.

  Many times, the best remedy is to just run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console so you can actually see what it does.  Sometimes, this also seems to be the only way to clear the dirty bit and this way you can see what he does.

  Note that you can not also question the bit of impurity of the Recovery Console and you can't turn off the bit of impurity to enter any command.

  If for some reason chkdsk will not erase the dirty, you can simply say XP never check the volume dirty bit, but who will not fix your fault of potentially hard drive, or it could be the drive just need to have chkdsk run on that (sometimes you need to run it more than once) or you will have to think about replacing the drive.

  If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can boot into XP from that (even a SP2) Recovery Console CD will work and run chkdsk /r manually from there and repeat until chkdsk /r is clean.

  If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, say so and I'll post instructions so you can make a CD of XP Recovery Console and how to run chkdsk from there.   There is no required XP media.

  I wonder why it is that I have never see an engineer Microsoft Support post instructions on how to make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console... probably because there is no KB article for them to post.
