Satellite C660: HARD drive space shows only 20 GB of free?

• Satellite L670 - hard drive dead after only 8 months

  Hello

  This morning I return my laptop due to defective hard drive problem. After 8 months, he is already dead.

  The positives are: I'm still under warranty and the second the software toshiba hilighted me from time to time, allowing me to back up my data before the crash. TKS Toshiba for this very useful tool.

  The question is: how a hard drive die that fast after fews month only?

  Bad luck or bad use? I wonder.

  I wish to have feedback from those L670 who owns the same model (windows 7), to understand if this problem is common or if I was unfortunately concerned.

  Also, if there are possible solutions to avoid the stress of the HD for daily use? As for example, reduce writing on this subject (save blu - ray using AnyDvD HD on hd, then cut & paste for external hard drive), or connect too often external hard drive in order to avoid the extra electricity if necessary?

  In the future, I have to perform chkdsk more often? Defrag? If Yes, how often?

  This is my 3rd phone dying, Sony VAIO = mothercard dead after 1.2 years, Fujitsu Amilo xi = exploded after 3 years and now Toshiba HD after 8 months.

  900EUR up to 1600EUR, I do not see significant resistance of one of these models, Sony was the badest ever in terms of longevity of the video card and compatibility (unplayable games after 2 months, no update of the driver), keyboard 'paint' was a mess with deterioration after fews month compared to Fujitsu and Toshiba (no points). Toshiba L670 most recent, was the best in terms of game compatibility.

  What should do? Stop buying the laptop or use only fews hours a day with a PC on top?
  For time beeing I can't afford to have a PC + a computer laptop that I'm unemployed, surviving with 10EUR per day.
  time to find a new job.

  Despite this, I managed to buy the new book of the cooler Zelman for my Toshiba 40/50EUR all about, but it did not help apparently.

  TKS for your comments about life duration L670 and particularly problem HD + best use to protect it.

  Guillaume

  In my opinion the answer is clear: no chance.

  In any case, don t think too much on the use of the laptop. Cell phone is designed to operate for a long period, then there is no reason to reduce the time to use on your Toshi.
  I use my laptop to work on a daily basis and it works at least 10 hours a day, sometimes one night too many.
  Just be careful that your laptop is placed on the desktop, the cooling fans must not be blocked by what it is.
  All that s.

• Toshiba USB external hard drive 250GB shows only the red light - sound of rattling

  My USB HD external drive to Toshiba aged 16 months stopped working yesterday. It shows just a flashing red light
  and makes a slight clicking noise. Of course, we cannot guarantee any more. But all my backups are on this drive,
  This means almost 10 years of work destroyed if I cannot access this disc more. Someone knows what to do to fix
  This problem?

  Post edited by: admin

  I put t know what the flashing red LED could mean, but it looks like a HARD disk head crash. Perhaps you could find some details in the user manual that the flashing light means.

  However, he still stupid s cases of dysfunction of a backup media situation. I had a similar problem with my 2.5 100 GB USB HDD. After about 3 years of work, the HARD drive died and I was not able to access the HARD disk. I was a lucky man because I have backup my data also on the DVD so I was able to restore the files and data.

  What to say maybe s possible to save data, but professional help would be necessary. Maybe you should contact technicians for assistance.

  Best regards and good luck buddy

  Both say the same thing - 120 GB of free space. 128 886, 263, 552 bytes is 120 GB and 128 GB not

  All hard drive manufacturers qualify 1 GB 1,000,000,000 bytes, while the rest of the computer, including the windows world, defines it as the 2 to the 30th power bytes (1 073 741 824). So, for example, a disk of 320 billion bytes is actually around 300 GB.

  Of some note as the official international standard
  sets the 'G' of GB as 1 billion, not 1 073 741 824. OK, even though they were, using the binary value of GB is so well-established in the world of computing that I consider be misleading on the part of the manufacturer of marketing using the decimal value of 1 billion.

  Hi amireos,

  Yes, you can create your workflow where you can keep all your images on the external hard drive and the Lightroom catalog file as well.

  If you start with Lightroom and then use the Destination location as external hard drive when you import your image of the external source such as a camera or SD.

  If you already have your Images on the Mac HD drive, then play all your Image on the external hard drive first and then import images directly from there.

  Finally, you can change the location of the Lightroom Catalog as well.

  Default location: folder on the Mac Drive HD, there is folder called Lightroom that you can move on the external drive too (however catalog Lightroom can't memory space as its only import previews of the images is not the real image and full)

  Once you move the file catalog Lightroom external hard disk, then you need to browse the catalog file when you launch Lightroom only once.

  See thread: LR catalog moving on external hard drive

  Let us know if it helps.

  Kind regards

• I lose a hard drive space every day on my Windows 7 computer

  My computer is barely a month.  I only put on about 6 programs, all with small footprints.  I transferred to about 70 GB of files.  I know that the system uses the memory out of the box, but even with all that taken into account, that I can't take into account more than 40 GB of space and the amount increases every day.

  I was check and each day I lose a few GB of hard drive space.  Where's he going?  There is much info on Vista and some of its features that uses a hard disk space, I guess than some that apply to Windows 7.  But seriously, for example I lost 2GB between yesterday and today, and I have absolutely nothing to the computer.

  Clean temporary files and use Disk Cleanup to reclaim space.  But it is usually minimal and it does not take into account what I lose.  I have the system to restore all of the space to a fairly small percentage.  In summary, I think I have everything correct in order to minimize the use of hard drive, but the space is to be consumed at an alarming rate.  No virus, MSE is on the system and did not find a thing.

  Where the hell the space continues?  I am glad that I have a large hard drive, so there is move the room, but it's ridiculous to have disk space available endangered on its own.  I don't know that it's associated BONE.  Thoughts?

  JDiskReport:

  I have 2 failure windows 7 installs with 35 GB of hard drive space. but I find no windows.old file?

• Bridge takes a lot of hard drive space

  Hello world

  IM new to this forum and new also for Photoshop CS6 and everything that surounds it.

  I had a small question which may be simple to you guys but its been annoys me a bit

  I work with bridge this morning and import pictures in it. Then I looked at my hard drive space and he was down about 5 GB. I do not change or do anything special, just imported photos so it would be easier when I start using PS CS6. Is it normal when I import images that it takes up little space on my hard drive. I thought that the bridge was used only to create a link between my photo file and Psalm I then tried to remove the images in Bridge to see if space would come back available, but it didn't. Anyone? Please help me to answer my questions?

  Thank you

  PS: I have 164 GB of free space on my hard drive, if it helps. Thanks again

  What you see is normal.  Once you import pictures Bridge generates a cache file, then you can disply a thumbnail.  Delete the picture will still retain the thumbnail, which is the function of compact cache.

  The options you choose depend on the size of the cache.   Embedded thumbnails takes less space.  If you check generate and save previews of 100% that will really increase the size of the cache folder.

  See this thread for more information on the cache.  http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/1094509?TSTART=0

  You will need to borrow an installation disc to a former operating system Microsoft - Windows 95, 98 or me. There is no way around it. If person don't you know is an older drive, you can borrow for a few minutes, you will need, you will need to either buy a copy full XP or take the unit to a local computer professional to do the XP installation for you.

• Many disappear from the hard drive space

  Hello

  Recently I factory reset my computer and proceeded to put some of my old files save them on the computer. Some of the files were games, but I realized that I couldn't play without resettlement of their records. I was unable to uninstall properly an any of them, so I just deleted files - but I noticed after I had deleted the files that I had lost more (about 30-40 GB worth) hard disk space

  When I went to reinstall these games of their records, I found that they were taking about three times as much space as they said they would be (for example, it said it would take up to about 3.5 GB of space, but it ended up taking 11 concerts of my DD)

  Since then, I've lost an another 30 concerts without doing anything.

  Is there a reason for this? I scanned my computer for any sort of malware with two different anti virus systems, and they all come in white. I have two firewalls running as well, so I highly doubt that it is malware.

  I managed to solve the problem.

  System Restore has been fixed to raise as much as 50% of my hard drive space. I have since lowered to a more reasonable amount and have obtained a large part of the rear of space SD, and I at least know where the rest. Thank you very much for the help.

• My (C) hard drive space becomes low. What can I do?

  Hello

  My Windows Update is set to the recommended level. (C) hard drive space becomes low and other drives (E, F, G) have enough space. What happens if the C drive space comes to level down while Windows Update is taking place. The minimum amount of space have stand to drive C? How to manage the process?

  Your cooperation will be appreciated.

  Thanks & Rgds,
  Solvemachine

  You really need to think about 15%, a minimum of free space on the disk.

  Your 1st task is to try to identify the cause of the lack of space. Things like music, photos and especially video may gradually creep on you.

  TreeSize here is quite useful to work where space is gone.

  Libraries can be moved. Expand 1st level of etiquette in the left pane to display the top folder and right-click. The location of the tab, you can change the location of one of the empty discs and it will copy all files when you click on move. If you have more than one user, it is best to create a record of the user for each group and then do it for each of them. Don't forget to check the new location is included in all of the backups.

  Also use disk cleanup too. Open the computer, right click on the C drive, and then click Properties. Click Disk Cleanup. For more options in the result, click on the option of system files and see what you can get rid of.
