Which files are safe from my C drive to another drive

I understand that Vista partitions the hard drive into 2 discs. On mine, it seems to be C (Vista) and E (data). My C drive is now full to 90%, while the E drive is (90%) free. I said I should move some files from drive C on the E drive to free up space. I was given good advice? If so, which files are safe to fly over as I really don't want to lose something important. As you can see, my computer knowledge is very basic and any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Thank you Walter,.

There are 113 GB on drive E. There is a folder there called recovery of HARD drive, but the drive is definitely called DATA. Should I continue to move files?

Thank you

Darren

Hey daz4239

«There is a folder in there called HARD drive recovery»

in where? not in the partition data is it

If you somehow a collection folder in the application data partition to the manufacturer of the computer to this topic

You should already have recovery disks form the 'record' in recovery

  • How do I see which files are saved on the Flash drive?

    I run Windows XP. I backed up the files on a Flash 8 GB (bkf) drive. How to see what files, etc., are saved?  I tried restore but all it shows me, that's the title I assigned to the backup... I double-clicked on the two panels of the selector restore without success.

    I plan to copy all the files on the USB key in a Documents folder... but before I do that I want your suggestions of experts.

    Thank you...

    I converted the Flash drive as NTFS and re - backup files... problem solved... Thank you for your interest in my problem

  • How can I find which files are missing in my video so that I can burn it to a DVD? Help!

    have made a video for my friends moving away party (his tmrw night, I need this burned on a DVD as soon as POSSIBLE!) So the film has mainly pictures, with a few songs mp3 in the background and some wmv files. OK, everything works correctly in Windows Movie Maker, and as soon as I click "publish on a DVD" I get a box saying that it saves and will be reopened in Windows DVD maker. This isn't so. Create DVD opens, I can't open my project, not to mention burn my DVD. I get a msg saying that he cannot locate one or more of my files... Help! How to determine WHICH files are missing so I can get this company to burning? I need this burned as soon as POSSIBLE, please help me!

    Are 'all' the original files that you have included in your project
    saved on your hard drive? This is important because
    Movie Maker does not archive copies of the files... it
    just saves the path to the original location. If these
    the files are no longer available Movie Maker cannot find
    them.

    Two points:

    1. If you want to delete some installed programs, do not make
    deletion of the folder they are in. That doesn't remove them only partially and
    can cause problems. Remove programs by in control
    Configuration/program Panel and features.

    2. a drive of 74 GB is a tiny disk these days. There are a number of
    things you can do to save space, but they are all basically
    temporary and you will soon find yourself in the same situation.
    The only real solution is to buy and install a larger capacity drive.
    Fortunately, they are very cheap these days; You can buy a 500GB
    drive for about US $65.

  • Why the files are stored on an external drive not appearing in the "other" classification on my iMac HD?

    I'm running OS X version 10.11.4 on an iMac, retina 5 K 27-inch/3.5 GHz Intel Core i5 with 24 GB RAM/1 TB HDD and I have had for about a year, although I migrate some files over my old machine, but most were on an external.  I have almost all my larger files on an external drive 2 TB - for the most part hi res .eps, .jpeg, .png.

    I run CleanMyMac 3 as a utility. When I saw recently that I had more than 600 GB of 'others' I decided I have to spend the day to clean my files and machine - and have therefore been sucked into this rabbit hole.

    After cleaning duplicate files, empty the caches, removing unused applications and clean the external hard drive, I have still 570 GB of "other".  When you click on the bar in their own my Mac, it gives you a list of what is included in each of the classifications of file storage.  I understand, including all Documents to plain text, PDF and even files .docx, ect...

    what I don't understand is why:

    1 .pages (documents created in the clean Apple program) are not classified with documents, rather than as 'other '.

    2. why each of my .eps files that are stored on an external drive also claim space on my Mac?  It would potentially be the preview images displayed in the Finder? And if so, why it store a snapshot of the same size as the actual file?

    AND, most importantly, I can recover some of the disk space consumed by the huge amount of .eps files?

    Thank you

    'CleanMyMac' is a scam and a frequent cause of instability and poor performance. Depending on which version you have, the developer's instructions may not completely uninstall. Please follow these instructions, then do as below.

    Back up all data before proceeding.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Agent.plist

    Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

    Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)

    the contextual menu.*, a file can open with a selected item. If so, move the selected item to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Agent

    Restart the computer and empty the trash.

    You may also delete one or more of these elements in the same way:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.helperTool.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

    Never install "CleanMyMac" or something like that.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

    B

    For the other category in the display of information storage, see this support article. If the display appears to be inaccurate, try to rebuild the Spotlight index.

    Empty the trash if you don't have it already done. If you use iPhoto, emptying his trash internal everything first:

    ▹ iPhoto empty the trash

    In pictures:

    ▹ Show of the recently deleted ▹ file delete all

    Do the same thing in other applications like Aperture, with an internal feature of the trash. Then, restart the computer. Temporarily, which will free up space.

    According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the boot volume (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation, not the mythical 10%, 15% or any percentage. You also need enough space to allow the growth of the data over. There is little or no advantage in terms of performance to get more free space than the minimum Apple recommends. Storage space you'll never use is wasted space.

    See this support article for some easy ways to free up storage space. A common waste of space is old backups iTunes to mobile devices. As shown in this support article, select the devices tab in the iTunes preferences window, select the backup that you want to remove and click on delete the backups. Keep at least a backup of each device you use yet.

    You can use a tool such OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and discover what is take up space. You can also delete files with it, but not unless you don't know you know what you remove and that all data is stored safely. This means that you have several backups, not one. Note that CESO works with OS X 10.8 or later.

    Deletion of files inside a photo library or iTunes will damage the library. Such a library should be changed within the application that created it. It is the same for e-mail files.

    Go further than if the problem is not resolved by the steps above.

    ODS cannot see the whole file system when you run simply by double-clicking; He sees only the files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you must run it as root.

    Back up all the data now.

    Install the application in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it runs.

    Triple-click any where in the text line below on this page to select, then copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing command + V. You will be asked for your login password.

    The application window opens behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will finally show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.

    I do not recommend that you make a habit of doing. Do not delete anything as root. If something should be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then remove by safer alternatives. If in doubt, leave it alone or ask for advice.

    When you are finished with the app, he quit and also to leave Terminal.

    There are many sites that are regularly displayed when you're looking who want download you them.  A bit of its very useful, but I'm afraid to download for the usual reasons.  Is there a good way to determine which ones is safe?  Thanking you in advance.

    For an additional layer of security, consider using DoNotTrackPlus of abine.com. There may be some problems with installation on some versions of IE 8, but if able to install the results will be very beneficial in the protection of privacy online. If using Google Chrome installation should not be a problem. (also available in the Chrome Web Store) Also suggest adding keep my Opts-out with Chrome before March 1st Google Privacy policy achievements.

    I hope this helps.

    Try searching *.eml and make sure you include hidden files and folders in the search parameters.  See also here for the Organization of store message (www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm).  You should be able to use the browser to go to the directory of sent items under the directory of local records and the actual messages will be located there.  It may be useful to compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUTil/) and make sure that everything in the folder, you saw the value.

  • How can I know which files are accessed more so I can move them to another drive

    My C drive is constantly busy and is indexed to 100% much of the time.  My swap file is on my S drive and its activity is very low. How can I know what is causing all the readers of the activity on my C drive so I can move some things my S, or other?

    I realize it is not easier to simply move the files, I might have to reinstall some applications or other things. But for now, I don't know what are the files or applications, roll to the top of the activity on my C drive.

    You can use performance monitor. Type perfmon in the "Search" box and press "Enter."

    Open the drive section by clicking on the arrow

    To identify individual files in more detail, you will need the Windows Performance Toolkit

    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/performance/cc709422

    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/performance/cc825801

    Download as part of the WIndows SDK from here:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/dlx/en-us/listdetailsview.aspx?FamilyId=6b6c21d2-2006-4AFA-9702-529fa782d63b

    Select this option for components you need.

    There is a video on the use of the tool here: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/PDC/PDC09/CL16

    At a glance, use Process Explorer to identify the source of the e/s:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

    On the file menu, click "show details for all processes."

    On the view menu, click on "Select columns" and check the deltas of reading and writing.

    You can also use the process monitor:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896645

    This will show you the operations of individual files so the amount of data will be huge. If a Visual inspection reveals anything, you can export the data to a csv file and use a spreadsheet to a total activity for each file.
