Showing in red computer disk space

I am running Win7 Pro and I just burn a CD.

When I reinserted the drive to check it out, the computer bar that indicates the disk space used is red and I can't read the disc on another computer.

Did burn the wrong format or something?

Thanks for any info!

Looks like you have already told him to treat the CD like a USB instead of a CD (sometimes works like that) or you used a media - RW and the need to close the session.  This look familiar?

  • How long does take to Clean Up Virtual Machine and recover disk space?  Take a long time.

    I just upgraded from Fusion 4 to 6.  Before converting my GB 131 VM version 6 I did a Clean Up because he says I have 9 GB of usable space.  I don't know how long it takes to run.  He has worked for more than 20 minutes, but there seems to be no way to determine if something is happening.  It simply shows a window 'Reclaiming Disk Space... "with no way to cancel out.  The size of the file and the date/time of the VM file does not change.  Activity monitor shows between 3% and 5% of the CPU with 13 to 15 of son used.

  • Additional virtual disk space not usable in Windows

    I resized a virtual disk of virtual machines by changing properties and then used a live CD partitioning tool to resize the partition.  Inside windows disk manager, it shows that the additional disk space as if the size of the Windows partition has been increased with success.  However, when I look at the properties of the hard drive in Windows, the extra size does NOT appear and it is not usable or accessible to the file system.  Any ideas what went wrong and how to fix it?

    Thank you

    I had exactly this before strange point of view and could not explain it. Seemed rather strange that the operating system will appear to display the disk space as allocted but the extra space was not available (even when checking the query WMI etc.)

    Ultimately, however, EXTPart has remedied the problem for me. (and quickly)

    If you do not use EXTPart, you can use the converter to recreate the disk.

    Hi jafrin.michel,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft community.

    Before you start the troubleshooting steps, I need the information required.

    What version of the windows operating system do you use?

    Method 1:

    If you are using windows 7, I suggest to perform a disk cleanup and verify.

    Delete files using disk cleanup

    If you want to move the pagefile.sys to another drive, follow the steps and check out them.

    Follow these steps to move the pagefile.sys to C: drive on D: drive (if you have the drive D :).

    1, write click on my computer and select Properties.

    Hello

    ITunes is on the computer there is a good possibility you are right about the
    video files and music. Launch Windows Media Player which will show you what is available
    through it however it probably will show not everyone.

    It will show you how disk space is being used.

  • my computer repeat myself that I am running out of disk space...

    my computer repeat myself that I am running out of disk space on local disk (c :)) I tried defragmenting it and even tried to delete some of my programs.) I don't know what else to do! can someone please help? Thanks it will be greatly appreciated!

    Get a larger drive - car price reached remarkably.

    Defrag won't give you any more space - and in fact, you can not defrag if there is less than 15% free space.

    You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
    You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
    You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
    You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
    You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)

    But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

    In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space.

  • Hidden file containing system 70 GB of disk space, even by showing hidden files reveal what who or where he is.

    I just noticed today that I have only 5 GB of disk space. After checking the properties of all the directories on that drive, I can determine that about 70 GB has been lost.

    I followed the post here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaperformance/thread/93892180-aa3f-4cd3-90a9-87d6aca6ddca

    and it made no difference.

    I don't know I have no viruses because my PC is completely swept every day, I also run Diskeeper Pro in order to reduce the fragmentation (this one works permanently).

    I deleted all my Windows and application event logs, and this too made no difference.

    As indicated in the title, I have exposed system files etc. and always impossible to find what.

    Just to reiterate, checking the properties of each folder to root quite well shows the use of the disc I expect, if I check the properties of the root of C:, it shows 5 GB free.

    I am running Vista + SP2, Avira AV, Comodo Firewall, Diskeeper 2010 Pro.

    If your computer works normally without any problem follow these steps: right-click (c) click on disk cleanup, wait... click More Options, click on clean for the system restore and shadow copies. Now check the free space.

    Hello

    Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
    It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way? Keep in mind
    This associated heat does not always mean too much heat as it is often a part or a component
    who is too sensitive to normal levels even heat.

    Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).
    in fact, remove and replace - don't do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the
    air vents. Check that fans are working (before and after opening the case). When your laptop on all the
    You can do is to reinstall the memory and clean the vents (still may try to add a small fan as a
    test).

    This sounds like material so if the above does not help you then probably need help

  • What does the red exclamation point and which would prompt me to now have more free disk space?

    It was getting my full disk space. Up to 1.2 GB to 73 GB. I removed some unnecessary files and programs up to 4.6 GB. Last night my internet was running very slow and I got a message that says that my disk space is full. I went to the Explorer, who intends to seek more to remove offline. To my surprise, it showed that I have 38 GB of free space. At the same time however, some (not all) of my desktop icons now have a red exclamation mark on them. There are some that are shortcuts, jpg files and doc files. That means the red exclamation that tempt me to now have more free disk space?

    I would just be guessing really. He could have files, online backup was queued up. It may be something to do with the shadow copy of Volume. If I use cleaning disc with the option all users and delete restore Points and shadow copies on the tab "More options", I'll be back about 15 GB on a disc of similar size. The effect is only temporary, until they accumulate again.

    I finally solved the problem by removing the somr registry keys and then he met again today. I decided to fix it permanently.

    I have not explored all the possibilitiies, but here's a simple solution: just delete the following key

    Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags HKEY_CURRENT_USER

    By removing this key you wil lose customization files. This probably isn't a big deal, but you should know.

    Now, I don't know if this is specific to my setup I was able to solve the problem by removing only 1 value:

  • Computer thinks I have no disk space left (but I certainly do)

    I had a problem with my computer for a while now. When I played video games or something like that, my computer would freeze occasionally and I hold down the power button just to turn off and on again. Last month, my computer showed that I don't have a disk space on my C drive. He dragged about 150 MB to 250 MB or more. I started uninstalling programs and games. He said that I have no disk space. I uninstalled literally all the games except one and there wasn't any change. Earlier, I uninstalled a program which was about 180 MB. Under properties on my drive C he said I won approximately 180 MB. But when I closed and open upward in then up to 150 MB when it was in the range 500 previously. I do drive cleaning all the time and trouble they free up more of a MB. How can I solve this problem? My computer becomes more and more useless every day.

  • Not showing disk space is not Up on comments

    Hello

    I'm on VM Svr 2.0 and I have Windows 2 k 3 as host and also guest operating system running! The guest operating system is a domain controller with a copy of the Global catalog. My problem is associated with disc and I don't know why it shows like this. First of all, I created the host on a local disk, which lies within the HOST. Then I got a second disk and added to the HOST and installs the virtual machine by copying the VM and VM addition to this NEW storage folder. I deleted from the original VM. Now I had initially allocated 15 GB for the first VM, and then he went to 20 GB on the OLD local disk. Since coming from the virtual machine to the new drive, I increased once again the size of the disk of 40 GB. Disk space is allocated in advance; Continuous and optimized for security, have been chosen options. However, when I go to the guest operating system "My Computer" and look at the properties of the drive, it shows only a total of 15 GB (8 GB in use) and 7 GB free. Is there something wrong here or is this a normal phenomenon and the disc will grow? I did not choose this option. Access Web VI shows that I have 40 GB allocated to the VM.

    Hello

    If you have increased the size of the disk invited, you will need run the commands of OS relevant to use the space.  Launch your Windows Disk Manager to see if you can see the unpartitioned space.  If you can, you should be able to extend an existing partition, or create a new in the usual way.

    Good luck
