• Find unused space on the hard drive of the Satellite A40.

  This space is about 7 GB, and seems to be unused.
  Can I create a partion second on this space or perhaps used by special services of Windows XP Home edition?

  (found this space after the installation of third-party backup/restore program)

  Hello

  Well, if you have a free space on the HARD drive if you want, you can create a two or three partitions. New partitions can have different sizes. In this case, I propose to use the magic of Partitions. This tool is very nice and easy to use and has many useful features.
  Try it.

• How to restore after deleting a partition in unallocated space on my hard drive?

  HI, I have recently removed a partition of my hard drive on windows Vista Home Basic. I removed it because I needed to find the hard drive space on the main user profile.

  I found, after following the instructions on how to remove the partition that the partition has been deleted, but the space was not available for use on the main user.

  I couldn't find any information on how to restore the space unallocated on the C: drive, so if there is someone out there who can help me, I'd appreciate the help! : o).

  Hi geddron1976,

  Is "unallocated" space right next to the C: partition, that is to the right of the C: partition? If yes go to control panel and click the Administrative Tools icon. In the Administrative Tools window, click computer management. In the window of computer managgement, click on disk management and you will then see a view of your disks. Click right on your C: drive, and in the menu drop-down, select "Extend Volume".  A wizard will appear. In the 'select amount of space in MB' type the amount sdpace you want to extend the partition. If you want this then let the total in the State. Now, click Next, followed by the finished product. The c: drive should now be extended in your unallocated space.

  If the C: partition is 'no' right next to the unallocated space, then you will not be able to extend the partition - not with the windows disk in any case management application. To do this you will need a third party application of partitioning, it is also a little more complex.

• Satellite L300D - TEMPRO said that I have no space on the HARD drive

  Hello

  I'm new to the site... I got a L300D for three months and no problem but in the last two weeks, I had TEMPRO warns my readers have free space that disappears quickly.

  In fact at this moment I have a total of * 800Mbs * when in fact I more than * 90Gbs * and I even used a shedder file to clean up more space.
  Is there a way to get TEMPRO on track or is this a normal problem, unsolveable.

  Hey Buddy

  TEMPRO is a tool that scans the entire HARD drive
  I guess you have different partitions on the HARD drive and I guess Tempro tells you that the free space among available partitions_ _on breaks down

  Well, I'm not quite sure what partition is a sense but perhaps hidden partition Vista first, s (WinRE).
  You should know that Vista uses a hidden backup files partition, this partition can be used if something goes wrong with the operating system

  I think Tempro means that partition

• How to free space on the hard drive recovery disk?

  My J: drive (recovery) is near capacity after a reinstall of Windows 7. How to clear space on this drive?

  Hi John R H,
   
  The purpose of the training of recovery is to store all the files needed to do disaster recovery, when the system becomes unstable. The recovery disk is actually a partition on the hard drive of your computer - not a real physical disk. There is much less space than other drives. If you use the recovery disk to store files (such as backup files), the reader is full quickly and can cause serious problems when you need to use the system recovery.
  Note: Do not store files on the recovery drive. The only files on the recovery disk should be linked to a system recovery.

  Here's a post that addresses a similar issue. To resolve this issue, check the suggestion given in the post.

• Not enough space on the hard drive

  When I try to put a 8 Gig file in my hardrive it is said that there is not enough disk space even if the hard drive has 15 concerts

  free space left. Can someone please help me im trying to put it on my other laptop and the hard drive is FAT32.

  FAT32.  There is your problem.

  The largest file a FAT32 formatted hard drive will be accept/pick-up is 4 GB less 2 bytes...  8GB is too large.

  Format the drive with a different file system, convert it to a different file system or use the file on another drive with a file system that supports the individual files of this size.

• How to free space on the hard drive?

  Hello, in my "On Mac" section, it says I 233 MB of space on my 121 GB of Flash storage. Previously, I thought it was video files, but it was buggy mac section. I refreshed, hoping he would show me how much space I had left, but he stayed the same. That is the problem. I use my macbook for College written work and - maximum - work on Adobe Creative Suite. When I work on these I use a separate USB key due to the size of the files.

  The only files I have actively created/downloaded on my macbook are the files in the files of my 'Documents', 'Pictures' and 'Applications '. When I use "Get Info" on each, I see that my photo folder is great, My Documents folder is large 1.17 GB and my Applications folder is large 14,68 GB 889,9 MB. These are the only files that I use and backup the files needed for my Macbook running and working properly, the only files I want to keep.

  My question is, basically, if there is a way to lose all the files on my hard drive that are not necessary to keep. I'm not too good when it comes to computers, so I don't want to not just randomly start deleting things. Just to get these road, my garbage can is completely empty and I have nothing in my downloads folder. I have also no large files to film and, when I searched my Macintosh HD for files larger than 500 MB, there is no evidence, so I guess that this is caused by a large amount of small files (I tried to restrict research naturally but then come files that I wasn't sure of what they have done and therefore have not removed the still). If it helps, my about Mac filed 100,64 GB of my free space as 'other '. But I know that is not how much space was taken when I got the Macbook earlier this year and it should not be the size of the files that comes with it by default. There is also a way to restore all the files on my macbook at their stage of default, that I would also be interested, especially if there is a way to do it without rid of files I already have.

  I guess that's a very basic question, can someone help out me?

  1. never remove all the files that you do not understand the purpose. If you do, it's like opening the hood of your car and take bits out of the engine ebcause you think they are not necessary.

  2. it seems more likely that you must rebuild your Spotlight index.

  See the following page:

• I ran out of free space on the hard drive how can I free up space

  My pc is freezing or locking up when I run a desktop wallpaper animated, so I defragment a saw that I was up to 20% freespace

  You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

  The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

  A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

  The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

  If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

  Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

  If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

  cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

• backups take up a lot of space on the HARD drive

  On MacBook Pro

  In information system close to 50% of the disk space is occupied by backups, despite regular updates to external hard drive.

  How to reduce the amount of space occupied by backups on HARD drive?

  When Time Machine backs up a Mac laptop, some free space will be used to make a snapshots the, who are backups of deleted files recently. The space occupied by the local snapshots is declared as available by the Finder and should be considered as such. In the view of storage of the information system, snapshots appear them as backups. The snapshots are deleted automatically when they expire or when free space becomes less than a certain level. You don't need to usually and should not, remove snapshots them yourself.

• How to store games so that they do not take too much space on the hard drive (XP Prof). And how do I know what files are 'useless' before I remove them?

  In very simple terms please

  Some games offer the opportunity to install some files only when you are setting them up, others not.  There is nothing you can do to force a game to use more or less hard disk space it wants to use.

  Clean 'files' is a losing proposition.  Unless you're the type who has dozens of movie files to several gigabytes of each hard drive there is no way to clean up "the files" in quantities reasonable for free hard drive space.

  It seems that if your hard disk becomes full or is full and should be replaced by a larger.  It is the only real solution to the problem, if so.  Get a bigger hard drive, transfer your current installation of Windows itself and be happy.

• Old Compaq Evo N1020V, replace the hard drive on the SSD

  Hello
  I wanted to extend the life of my old Compaq Evo N1020V Intel P4. I bought a Transcend SSD TS32GSSD25-m, connected to the computer, I have updated the BIOS to the latest version available F.0B January 24, 2007. Unfortunately, when the computer starts the message: 0200: failure fixed disk 0
  Is it possible to connect the SSD drive to the old computer?

  I see that now.

  You initialize the drive using the FDISK utility? If it is not initialized it would not even necessarily considered gift.

  Installation of an operating system on an SSD, this isn't the same as it is with an electromagnetic drive legacy.  It is a little involved with an old SSD OCZ Vertex and enough conversely simple with a Corsair SSD upgrade kit. I own both. The upgrade of the Corsair was as simple as with the SATA supplied to the usb connector and software cloning with that also it was delivered.

  To do a bit of research I saw that there is not much in material information facility available on the web for this particular SSD. Maybe the transcend technical support would have been a better place to look for info on the installation. Transcend would have supported their product. The post that is marked as the solution is not correct. It is as you say a disc SSD PATA. It must have worked. the problem seems to be more a problem installation or a failing Transcend SSD drive. return the drive for a replacement and try again.

  Best regards
