What is in my HP_Recovery drive (D :) I don't see?

Hi, when I click on properties of my HP_REVOVERY disk (D :), I find that 4.48 GB of memory is used and 950 MB is available. However, when I click on drive D: real to see what I have here, I find that there is only the recovery file that is only 185 KB in size. (Btw, I didn't typo with my units!).

I checked to see if he has nothing hidden - there is only a single hidden folder that is empty and so 0 bytes.

Now, if I see only 185 KB, where is the rest 4.48 GB - 185 KB? I'd appreciate an explanation for that, because it drives me a little crazy...

Thanks in advance!

    iCloud is geared towards sharing between devices and is not designed for cloud storage only. Everything you place in iCloud Drive will also keep a copy of your MacBook. You can save possibly reduce the space required on your Mac if you use iCloud photo library by going to the preferences of Photos and turn on "Optimize Mac storage" but which only applies to photos and will be possible only if space is needed.

  • I don't see the entire hard drive under Vista. When I try to shrink a volume, I seem to lose space.

    Original title: I see all the hard drive under Vista

    I see on the C drive properties
    "space used = 143 GB ', and"
    "494GB of free space.   But, when I try to do a third partition to install windows 7, using the disk management tool, after I click on
    shrink the volume on drive c, I don't see that: ' available shrink space: 79, 917 MB ' and I also see 'total size after shrink in MB = 573891'.  I expect all the free space 494 GB available shrink.  I'm wrong.    Why all the 494GBs are not available to reduce or at least half of it, I guess that instead of only available to shrink 79Gs!
    In addition, currently, I have three partitions.  For vista, office and other programs and data, C D like Factory Image of HP, a 11.3 GB and yesterday I made a partition for windows 7 with 48.83GBs and installed windows 7 Professional there.  Then I realize, I need more space to install office and other programs and data.  This is when I tried to shrink the c drive and encountered this problem.
    Can you please help me
    Thank you

    Hello

    you do not shrink the C: drive and then expand the E: drive back in the space that you did

    You cannot extend a drive backward

    and I gave you a link to read and use on the problems of shrinkage

    If as a result of the information on how vista disk management work does not fit what you want to do, you may need to buy 3rd party partition software

  • What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?

    What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?  Also, WHERE can I find this specification?  Drobo claims that 16 TB is the largest external RAID supported and I do not.

    FYI............ 2 UPDATES since I posted this question:

    "1. Drobo has updated their FIRMWARE to allow now to 'beyond' 64 power to RAID".  Thus, their original 16 TB limit has now been replaced by their new limit of 64 to.  Also note that when you use a Drobo, Apple Mac OS does correctly shows space 'Drive' and the 'free space', if the Drobo 16TB exceeds the size; but the Application DashBoard of Drobo displays the correct numbers.  For example, my Drobo 5 d contains 5, 8 TB disks, for a total size beyond 40 to RAID (theoretically, since most of us should know, now, that the ACTUAL SIZE IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER than THE THEORETICAL SIZE).  AVAILABLE FOR USE ACTUAL SIZE IS ONLY 28.9 TB.  Thus, 40-28, 9 = 11.1 TB gets used in place for the PROTECTION of RAID beyond and the difference between REAL SPACE and SPACE THEORY.  It IS NORMAL because any RAID 5 device always uses about 1 size of hard drive for its Protection.  So, knowing this, the DeskTop icon showing 28.9 TB disk space and free space as everything that is not yet used.  However, instead, the Mac OS shows 70,37 TB disk space and free space like 68,37 TB, which are both incorrect.  Although I'd love it if Mac OS has been magically increase my disk space, in fact, these two numbers are false.  Drobo knows this, and Apple has not, in my discussions with both.  So I hope, between the two companies, that this problem can be corrected.

    2. after many hours on the phone with Apple Support, through no less than 6 people including 2 senior advisers, NONE OF THEM COULD ANSWER MY QUESTION ON CE WHO IS MAXIMUM ALLOWED HARD DRIVE or RAID SPACE AUTHORIZED BY Yosemite and El Capitan.  For me, THIS IMPORTANT FACT SHOULD SIMPLY BE LISTED IN THE OS SPECIFICATION TECHNIQUE, it's quick and easy to read on the Support Site.  But Apple is the new bureaucracy, they are, I don't see what is happening any time soon.  So, be aware that, for now, HE IS No. LIMIT ON SIZE, as an Apple adviser said; but could not confirm in writing; and, IT IS AN INCORRECT DISPLAY SIZE AND FREE SPACE, if your drive is greater than an unknown 16 + TB in size.  Note that I have 3 other RAIDs that are properly in place showing that 9 TB, TB 12 and 18 to size; but I do not know how the SIZE IS IMPORTANT to ensure that the operating system display it correctly, except for my Drobo TB 40.  So, the bottom line, somewhere between to 18 and 40 to is where he goes wrong, in its display of sizes.

  • What capacity of the HARD drive in 1670CDS

    New, I HAV Satellite 1670CDS with Phoenix BIOS ver. A 1.07.
    My drive HARD broked down. I have to buy a new one. What capacity of the HARD drive will be detected BIOS corectly? How many GB of hard drive I can buy?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    This kind of information can give you just authorized partner. I found the info your device comes with 6 GB of HARD drive. Am I wrong?

    I'm sure you can use 10 or even 12 GB of HARD drive without any problem. If you want to use more than capacity, it is possible that it will not be recognized by the BIOS.

    I found an offereor which has guaranteed that even at 30 or 40 GB hard drives can be used on older models, but the BIOS should be handled with the special tool and is not for free.

    Good bye

  • What is the largest hard drive that will work in dv6324us laptop computer?

    What is the largest hard drive that will work in a HP Pavilion dv6324us laptop?

    Hello:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01035677.PDF

    Support for HARD drives and capacities are listed in Chapter 3, page 3-25.

    Personally, I think you could install a SATA II 320 GB to your laptop.  Maybe even a 500 GB.

    You could also probably install a drive of 7 200 rpm for better performance or if the battery life between charges is more important for you, then stick with a disk of 5 400 rpm.

  • I have a duel processor. C drive is nearly full E reader uses only 30%. What happens when the C drive is full?

    My laptop has 2 dual processor x 75 GB.  Tried to move the files to the E drive but they double and are difficult to locate. Life should be easier than this!  C drive is nearly full, E drive uses only 30%.  What happens when the C drive is full?

    [Moved from comments]

    Simple!

    You get a BIGGER hard drive.

    The 'norm' for laptops these days is at least 500 GIGs.

    Which is the same amount that I have in my table.

    2 x 250 GB.

    I have XP Pro on one single, Windows 7, on the other. (And each of them uses ONLY about HALF of these hard drives!)

    In a month or two, I'll upgrade to 2 x 1 terabyte hard drives. sounds a little one 'kill too much', I know, but hey, my computer IS able to be updated that he got so far it?

    Yours is in need of an upgrade too, suggest that there is, to solve your problem!

  • What is the function of drive D with respect to the C drive with regard to performing backups of disk?

    I noticed that when I back up the drive 'local disk' C drive D "recovery" appears as a choice of backup also.

    If I look at the contents of D drive, it reflect to some extent the contents of the C drive.  However, it also seems to be very comprehensive, showing only 2 GB free of possible 12 GB.

    First of all, what is the purpose of the D drive?  I don't remember when I put anything in there manually.

    Secondly, I should back up disk and drive C clear D?  Not that it would take long or take a lot of place, but it's too redundant to do?

    Thanks for any comments on the ground!

    D is something your OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer - the company that brought the computer in a package deal for you like HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) put it there in case you need to restore the default values.

    I would like to backup everything.  The worst of the method chosen, it's that you probably do not have CD/DVD to restore the system in the event of a failure of hard drive... so, this hard drive dies and * poof *-you have nothing.

  • Photoshop elements 11 software box installed once in December 2012 install on the new computer. Disc cannot be read (tested on 3 different computers). What's still possible a drive from a very meticulous, well protected?

    Dear Adobe,

    I need your help!

    December 12, 2012, I ordered (sold) by mail an official copy of the Adobe Photoshop elements 11 software box B & H Photo (New York, NY). I installed it successfully without any problems on my computer then. I appreciated the help of the program since then, it's great. Last week, however, that computer died and I was force to buy a new computer (Windows 8.1).

    To my surprise, the elements drive wouldn't load on my DVD player. The drive just kept "clicking" for 20 minutes.  After trying several times to reboot, for an hour and a half, I tried and then install on my laptop, just to see if my drive is defective. No, it wasn't. He went too immediately in an endless "by clicking on" routine tries to read the disc. And for one last try, I put it in my sister's laptop and she got the same result - no end ' by clicking on ', no. install. No computer to read the disc!

    How is it still possible from a disc of commercial manufacturing that I used once in 2012! The disc is a meticulous cleanliness, no scratches, unscuffed, put it in its original box and stored on the shelf in a cool place, away from the Sun!

    Serial number of the defective drive: 1057-4186-6029-0039-1511-3940

    Is there anything you can do about it as I don't see why I should have to spend more than $130 (in Canada) to replace a disc that worked only once!

    Desktop HP Pavilion p6610f Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit installed Just the new hard drive and all the new updates and new programs etc.  I created the repair disk system and a full backup and wante to create a password reset disk. When I click on 'Create a password reset disk' in the control panal and I begin to follow the wizard, it asks me to put a key memory in drive F.  I don't have USB keys or disks if that's what is meant.  I was going to use a DVD - RW disc, but of course, I am unable to do so.  Why does say to create a 'DISC' in one place, and then when I go there, it says that I have to use a 'KEY' 'DRIVE F "?  If I buy a USB flash drive, which is identical to a key memory? And... I have several USB ports, none of them can be used with the USB to store data or memory?  I looked in the 'Help' section and he said just to click on "create a 'Disk' password reset. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    Thank you for your time, but I already did the cover, back, vision of diagnostics and repair of disks.  I just asked why, when it is suggested that I create a 'PASSWORD' reset disk, when I start to do exactly that, the wizard tells me that I have to use a USB, 'NO' a 'DISC' and use the 'F' reader which I did not, (I don't think), I mean I know there are additional slots for disks , but I don't think I have other than those that I used to do the other ' Just discs in case where.  Just curious.  I have resigned myself to not do a. I wrote my password on a piece of paper and taped it on the underside of the top of a desk, where nobody would ever think to look.
