Windows Vista disk space eat my available hard!
Hello
I run Vista on VMWare Fusion on my Mac, but every time I use it I see my hs 'GB available' (displayed at the bottom of each Finder window) has increased of 1 and 2 GB.
I'm not instant and the size of the prompt in the folder Documents/Virtual MachinesWindows Vista.vmwarevm remains unchanged at about 28GB.
I use VMWare 2.0.5 and Snow Leopard.
Can someone advise?
Thank you!
Yes very easy. Vista is started, it creates a swap file. Given the unknown parameters in this equation, the memory is low, and so you need to swap the memory to disk. More, you run the virtual machine, the pagefile over.
Stop Vista, but the VMDK increments until the full complement you configured, and eventually it will get to a point where it will not 'push' but I don't know how much space you started with, the amount of RAM that you gave the VM of Vista, and we do not know the State of the file between stops.

I recentlyreinstalled my windows vista, everything seemed to look and will work perfectly, so I decided to see how much space was left on the hard drive. My surpise there was only 3 GB of 80.0 gbhard drive. Now I'm sure that you would agree wiyh me and say that there is something wrong when installing on if so what can I do about it? You, I noticed there are some files like programs program then theres (86) below I see only in a few different places, as well as many files sent a text message if they are from my old program as if they never got deleted or formatted.
Thanks for listening
Hello
· Did you do a clean install of Windows Vista without formatting?
· How many letters pilot are there on the system, for example C:\, D:\?
· The number of records your C:\ drive?
Open C:\ drive and select all the files that are present and check what size is (of all files). Let us know the size.
If you did a clean installation without formatting then, it may be a folder named windows.old. If you have the folder on the system, then follow the steps mentioned in the article below.

Hi all, I need professional windows vista disk
I have uninstall windows vista and distribution now I don't know how I can install and download windows vista business please help me
How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

Hello
HP do not offer a download to do this service, however, there are two main options
1. see if you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below.
If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the United States, contact HP here.
If you are in another part of the world, begin here.
2 in the same way that it is possible to create a disc of the retail of Windows 7, this can perform the installation, then use the activation key 7 windows OEM COA label, the same process is possible if your laptop comes with Vista. A complete description (including links to downloads of Vista Image) of it on the following link.

Windows Vista does not recognize my external hard drive, Eagle Consus AND-CS2PSU2-BK
I have an HP Presario laptop running Windows Vista and it does not recognize my external hard drive, or my flash drives.
I have an external hard drive Eagle Consus AND-CS2PSU2-BK. It worked fine on my desktop, which works on XP. I plug it to my computer laptop and nothing.
When I plugged it in the first place, he says that he needed to download the drivers. I clicked 'ok' to automatically download drivers and a few seconds later, he said that it successfully completed the driver download/install.
I look under the drives in my computer and he's not here.
I went to start, right click computer, left you click on Manage and double-clique then under storage disk management. All I see are C drive and recovery disc (D). No other drives displayed.
I exitted who and set up the Control Panel, double click on Device Manager. He said in the other topic peripheral USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge. I don't know whether or not it is my external hard drive. It indicates the Type of device: Other Devices and under device status it says: "the drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28). This operation requires an interactive window station. To reinstall the drivers for this device, click on reinstall the driver. »
He asks if I want to reinstall the drivers, so I clicked that. He couldn't find them / install them.
Still, I don't know if USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge is still linked to my external hard drive.
Help, please. The same thing happens when I try to plug a flash/USB.
Try this:
In the right click 'USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge' Device Manager under the other devices section, click unsintall or press the delete key. Reset with the connected hard drive it must be reinstalled, but under the USB controllers. Make sure the device works on the other computer cable can also go to bad.b

The easy transfer tool Windows calculates disk space before starting to transfer?
Using the transfer windows easy between 2 pc both with vista. Calculate wet if there is enough space on 'new' drive until it begins the transfer?
Thanks for the help.
original title: disk space
Hi Pitski,
Yes, Windows easy transfer evaluates disk space is needed to transfer your selections. If you use a USB flash drive, try to use one with enough storage space for the transfer of all. If your USB drive is not large enough to transfer everything at once, you can copy as many files that it will hold, transfer those files to the new computer, and then reconnect the drive to the old computer and repeat the process.
You can consult the section "what method should I use to transfer my files and settings?" section:
Transferring files and settings: frequently asked questions
Hope this information is useful.

Boxes which must be checked on with Windows Vista disk cleanup?
I can't find anywhere if there is a default value for the disk cleanup in Windows Vista. I have these two, I've never seen before and I don't know if I should check them or not. They are by the Windows error reporting archived user and system archived Windows Error reporting. These are files used for error reporting and solution checking. I CHECK THESE FOR MORE DISK SPACE?
Yes. Look in Control Panel select Problem Reports and Solutions (type
