Why my D drive shows 0 bytes and any free space?

I don't know what to do.  Is this a problem?  FixIt ran and he said that there is no problem with the drive.  Under Device Manager, it says "readers of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM" and that its says "HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH41N SCSI CdRom Device".  I have an Emachines PC using Windows 7 Home Premium.  , I have a problem I should worry?

Hello

This is normal, if there is no disc in the drive.

If you place a disc in the drive, then it will display information about that record.

    Personally, I would be interested to see what disk management says on the disc. Right click on my computer > choose manage. In the left pane, click "disk management". The content will grow in the right pane. Make a written note or a screen shot showing both used and free space.

  • Windows Vista shows 1.84 GB of free space on a 37.2 GB HARD drive, but it is false.

    A friend has Vista Home Premium 32 bit, service Pack2 installed. Vista reports that there is only 1.84 GB of free space on 37.7 Go, but through all the folders and adding up their total use, there's only 14.8 GB of data (documents, downloads, photos, programs, and Windows Vista, etc.) on the disc and even if Restore Points using a full 5% of disk space, which is only 1.86 GB extra. I ran disk cleaners (disc CCleaner and Windows clean), all temporary files at once I.e. and Windows Explorer have been removed, all registry errors have been fixed, and there are only two restore points. When I first checked the disk usage after receiving a warning that the C: drive was almost full, there is a red bar on the C: drive, instead of the usual blue (I dunno what that means), but after race Defragmenter Windows bar was new blue, but the use of the disc was reported more than twice what is actually there. Everything which can be removed, cookies, namely history, recent documents from Windows Explorer, etc., etc. have been removed. I can't understand where are the other ±18.7 GB.

    You can check the amount of space allocated for system restore points.  The system restore point brought the file size can be larger than necessary and could keep the restore points created when Windows updates come through and devours your file space.  It is interesting to watch in any case just to be safe.  I had this problem and changed by reducing the allotted file space in the system restore folder/file.

    Hello

    Method 1:

    I suggest you analyze your computer Microsoft Safety Scanner, it will help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 2: Try running the disk check on your system with the help of the link below.

  • Is there a problem if I extend my drive c with any free space?

    I have a 750 GB HDD partitioned into 5 seats, namely

    c:---75 GB
    F:---200 GB
    G:---150 GB
    H:---150 GB
    I:---103 GB
    but since I have only 10 GB of free space left in my c: drive I want to extend my c drive but I don't have a copy of my windows, so I want to increase my c drive without format my drive c. any body can help?

    The essential point is that the only way to extend a drive is that it cannot be that in free space is contiguous to the partition that currently hold the drive C. open disk management and in the lower pane confirm what partition is now to the right of the C partition. This is the one, in that you have to remove or change in order to provide a space for drive C to expand.

    Although the disk manager has the ability to shrink a partition it will reduce only the right side at the end of the score but you need initially left space to the partition. If you can, as suggested by the most simple is to back up the content, delete the partition, extend the C drive, the quantity required and if any space flying over creating a new partition to restore the data.

    You can also download MiniTool Partition Wizard , that allows you to define which end of a partition to shrink. However, the partitions on an active system manipulation it has its risks and it is strongly recommended that you perform a backup anyway before you start.

    An option may be to move some of the files currently on the C drive on another drive. Although you can not move the whole user profile easily many key issues that often take up excessive space can be moved, particularly music, photos and Documents folders can be moved using a utility provided in Windows.

  • my: C drive shows 130 used and 10 GB free but I can only represent 65GB when I total up to folders in the: hard drive C. Why is this?

    I have a laptop Lenovo T61 with 140 GB hard drive using Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

    Certain files and folders are hidden.  To see them, go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / View and uncheck to hide system files, and check the box to show the hidden files and folders.  Which may help explain the difference.

    In addition, Vista does not have a very good job of reporting used disk space.  It is a common problem with no real solution under Vista.  Certain files and folders are simply not included (for some reason any) in the summary or remain hidden despite the changes described above.  I believe that this applies to system restore and shadow copy information and probably others as well the files/folders.  You can change the maximum space used by these programs that can clear up some space (with the compromise that you have less restore points).  Here's how: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76227-system-restore-disk-space.html.

    I recommend http://www.hdgraph.com/ to scan your system for how the space is used.  It is not perfect either, but it is a bit more accurate and provides more data and information in a way that makes it easier to read and understand the structures.  I don't know if it fills up space system restore and shadow copies, but it could (and is probably worth a try just to see what it shows).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • My C: drive shows 1.95 GB only free and is red in color.

    I cleaned my disk and ran * cleaner and the temptation of power, but still the C; Player Watch Red and only 1.95 GB free, I run Vista, but don't have any other unwanted programs or stored information. Help, please.

    Salvation of the North-butterflySmith,

    1. What is the total size of the drive C?
    2. You have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you run Disk Cleanup to free up space on the C drive.

    Delete files using disk cleanup

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you scan the computer for virus infections or malware and check if it helps.

  • "E:\ is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect"results when the access drive E:\. Disk Management displays not filesystem and 100% free space

    My drive E:\ was more accessible, even if windows sees it again. I tried to run a chkdsk/r on it and it fixed a bunch of indexing errors, but then got stuck on the 4th check for about 20 hours (it is a 100 GB drive, so I understand that it will take some time, but it's never got around 50% all the time, so I don't think it was anything and I stopped it). I looked at the drive with EnCase by Guidance Software and the directory structure seems to be there, but even when I go through the files there are some files that are not present not that I am sure were there before this event happened. I wonder what might have happened and what I might be able to do on the recovery my files on this disc. I was thinking about the table partitions may have been messed up somehow, but I never really met something like this to know what to do to fix it. In the worst case scenario, I can get another hard drive to transfer files to, but I was hoping there would be a way to just restore it. I can't really afford to lose the data, so if anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

    Hello DileepHL,

    Thank you for your message.  You are able to access this disk on another computer?  If this isn't the case, it is possible that your drive has failed.  Unfortunately, in this case, you must either take the drive to a data recovery specialist or other means to recover your data.  Another option is 3rd party recovery software, you can search it on bing.com or your favorite internet search engine.
    See you soon

  • How to speed up my Mac and the free space on the disk?

    MY Mac book is 6 years old and I need more space. Can I "Redo" the hard drive so to start again?

    <http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/how_to_recover_missing_hard_drive_space>

    Warnings of boiler plate:

    If you have a subscription, to run out of disk space, problem, then OmniDiskSweeper can help identify the space where goes.  View files and suspected places will help the forum help you to understand.  Don't forget, we can not see in your drive, you must give us information to work with.

    DO NOT delete files in your folder-> Library Home Page tree as there are things like backups of your iPhone, your emails, your application preferences, etc...  If you think that you found something in your file-> Library Homepage which can be removed, you must ask first.

    DO NOT remove the files outside your home folder, you can end up removing something essential to Mac OS X and transform your Mac into a costly "door Stop."

    I want to say that you will find a few very large files in private-> var-> vm (these are Mac OS X virtual memory paging files (swapfiles) and where Mac OS X stores the RAM copy when your Mac is paused).  The swapfile (s) is deleted on reboot, and the sleep image will just be recreated when you put your Mac to sleep.

    If you think that you found something to remove outside your home folder, it would be better to ask first before deleting.  There are many examples of people deleting files outside their home folder, rename files, or change the property or file permissions and then their Mac stops running.  Don't be one of those people.  Ask first.

    Hi mate

    In my computer, you should see the HARD and CD /DVD. disc drive
    Usually the HARD drive or the partition of the HARD drive is listed as C and the CD/DVD drive must be registered as D or other letter.

    Depends on the partition created on the HARD drive because each partition is assigned to a certain letter.

    However, the letters are editable in the Windows operating system disk management.
    Make a right-click on desktop-> manage-> disk management
    Here, you can change the letters.

    Regarding the CD/DVD drive:
    I recommend the withdrawal of the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager list.
    Simple delete it and restart the device.
    After restarting again, then OS should recognize the STRANGE new
