  Hey Vinod Dhaka

  with the dell recovery discs you would normally follow their instructions to reinstall vista

  put simply you never made a big enough partition

  Microsoft recommends for vista professional who was anyway too small 40gbs

  "HDD 40 GB at least 15 GB of available space (20 GB for the basic home edition"

  you have updates of programs etc to install

  and you say not the size of your hard drive, or how it is implemented

  use of your hard disk space correctly and reinstall vista or read this tutorial below to remove expand partitions

• Less disk space than what it takes!

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem here, and I don't really understand.

  In my Mac, I have 2.48 GB free of 160 GB, whereas my partition in VMWare Fusion it says I 28.2 free GB to 60 GB. I had problems installing some software when I was in my windows, he suddenly said: you need to free up more disk space, and I saw the 28.2 GB free and said what?

  This is not sensible. The only thing that comes to mind is that you give only the 60 GB on the windows partition so that you never exceed the. Is this the case?

  Thank you.

  OK, you'll never exceed 60GB in windows.

• I want to allocate more disk space for my c drive and remove the drive d

  I want to allocate more disk space for my c drive and remove the drive d. I 26 gig on the d drive and only using less than 1% of it, and I have the same amount on c, but only 39% c left. How to do this.

  LEM explained the problems that you tried to resize partitions on the same drive.

  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.

  You can generate more space in the system (usually C) the folder move partition.

  For temporary Internet files, select Start, Control Panel, Internet Options, temporary Internet files. Settings and move back.

  How to change the default location of the My Documents folder: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310147

  You may also change the default locations of the files in Microsoft Office programs when you choose to move the My Documents folder. For Word, go to tools, Options, file locations, highlight the Documents, click on edit and change the path. For Excel, go to tools, Options, general, and change the default path.

  My Documents is one of the many the created system of special folders, which include my pictures, and my music. It can be more easily modified using TweakUi. Download TweakUI, one of MS powertoys, here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp.

  In TweakUi, select workstation, special folders. You can scroll down to see the full list of special folders to the left of the button to change the location.

  You can move programs, but to do this, you must uninstall and reinstall the program. With Word and Excel, the existing data files are not affected by reinstalling. Most of the work in question is going to be reinstall all updates issued after those that are included with the original Microsoft CD / DVD.

  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.

  I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

  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 that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

  Select Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, view, advanced settings and check the box in front of "show files and folders" and 'Hide protected operating system files' are unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second element. You should also make sure that the box before "Hide extensions of known file types" is not checked. Notwithstanding, there are some files that are hidden. Again, you will not see the System Volume Information folder.

  Hi Ericacole

  What version of the bridge are you using and what is your OS?

  Please how much is left in your main hard drive.

  By default, the bridge cache is located at: -.

  C:\Users\Yourname\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CC\Cache (AppData is a hidden folder)

  Note that cache bridge could be very large depending on your use of the product.

• Create more disk space

  I need to create more disk space on c:. I deleted all unvanted programs, deleted temporary Internet files etc., but this is not enough. When I searched through all directories, I found that my TEMP directory contained 14.6 GB of data. The problem is that when I press ctrl + A to mark all files, it says 36.4 MB. I ticked 'show all files' so there must be another type of hidden files.

  Is it possible to see the files and it is then possible to delete some of them or what the system and update files?

• Why Windows 7 displays an incorrect amount of free disk space / used on my DVD - RW drive?

  Why Windows 7 displays an incorrect amount of free disk space / used on my DVD - RW drive?

  Windows 7 can show the incorrect amount of free and used space in serious DVD - RW or DVD + RW media properties.  After burning data on the disk, Windows 7 could show that there are 0 bytes of used space and free space available on the disk capacity.  In reality, the amount of used and free space on the disk is reversed.

• If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

  If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

  You need to duplicate pictures unless you want to use the PSE as external editor for iphoto. In iphoto, your photos are stored in a library owner, which should never be marred with programs other than iphoto. Written to the iphoto library from outside iphoto is the best way to corrupt and lose all the photos it contains.

  So you can either set PSE as external editor and send the photos of in iphoto, or you export photos from iphoto to use them outside of this program.

• Add more disk space for the ESX host

  Hi all

  I need to throw more disk space to my ESX hosts.  I know how to bind records in Navisphere and present to the ESX host.  Once in the VI client, I "think" I need to go to the host and do a rescan of the HBA or something like that?  I'm a little unsure of the market of part VI to add more disk space.  Could someone just point me in the right direction?  Please note that I am looking to add more disks to existing hosts in existing clusters.  It adds no storage to a new host... rather an existing one.

  Thank you

  Jonathan

  You are on the right track.  Re-scan storage card, under the configuration tab select storage adapters, select the adapter and click on the link of the new analysis.  Then go to the storage section and there should be a link in the top right of the screen that says storage Add.  Click on that and it will guide you in adding/setting in form/naming of the new disk.

• Why delete photos to get more disk space do not work?

  Why don't earn any disk space when I delete the 'Photos' photos and the album "recently deleted?

  Deleted photos are kept for a week by default. If you really want to get rid of them now, use the command empty the trash inside the Photos.

• Can not defragment. I get a pop up message that I am low on memory and free disk space. I use the cleaning disc, but can not run Defragmenter. I have only 2 percent of free space, and it will not defragment.

  a pop-up message tells me I have insufficient disk space and free up some disk space so I run the disc to clean and it removes some of the problems. He jumps up all 2-3 days.  I tried to defrag, but the error message says that I only have 2% of disk space and he needs 15% to defrag so it will not defragment.  The band is red when I analyze the system before defragmentation.

• ESX brings more free space than does SAN

  I have a student who has an ISCSI SAN Dell EqualLogic PS400E and ESX 3.5i servers using VMware software initiator. They observed that formatted with the VMFS LUNS show different amounts of free space if you view ESX or SAN. The SAN of reports more LUNS are low on space but ESX reports that there is a good bit of free space on the data store. The variation of the reports may be as much as 50 GB.

  Anyone got any ideas on why this can happen and that they should look to reconcile the differences?

  You can find an old thread on this argument.

  It's true: Equallogic indicate less space than ESX, but the reason is simple...

  EqualLogic can't VMFS and how it works.

  Know only the block marked as used (which may be free or unused in VMFS).
