Hard Drives Is Not Showing All The Space
May 15, 2009I recently installed Vista Home Premium and one of my hard drives is not showing all the space that it use to. The hard drive in question is a 1 Tb hdd and was working fine in XP as were the other HDD's. When I installed Vista, all the other disk's worked fine except for this one. I have gone into Computer Management and it shows the drive as having 859 Gb of unallocated space that I cannot format. I am unable to create a New Simple Volume or any other volume types for this drive.

Mar 21, 2008I have read many posts on memory space and addressing, but haven't found anything that answers my question....I have 8Gb fitted, but on checking it's useage, it appears that the max I have seen in use is less than 3Gb. The swapspace and paging file are being used - why ? when I have plenty of memory left unused ? Is there a way I can force Vista to use more physical memory (which is faster), rather than perform swapping.

Sep 16, 2009The PC has been losing memory at an alarming rate and now the remaining C disc space is at 257kb. We both regularly clear Temp Internet Files, and now only have programs installed that we use. There are only myself and my boy who use this PC, the other 3 kids have another to use, and between us we only have aroung 6 gigs worth of stuff on it, photo's and music mainly. We even took it back to the original factory settings earlier in the year due to this problem, but it started happening again almost straight away. I have AVG installed for anti-virus and Comodo firewall, after trawling the net I get the impression that this is not a virus-based problem but a setting anomaly?

Total Memory Available 3.3GB With 4GB Physical Memory Under Windows 7 64 Bit
Nov 29, 2009I had 4GB physical memoryon the PC. With Windows vista 32 bit, available memory is shown as 3.3GB. I asked and was told that only under 64 bit windows, will the available memory be 4GB. When I upgraded to windows 7, I chosed 64 bit, but the available memory shown in the system is still 3.3 GB. Why is this and is there a way to make the full 4GB available? It's possible that my video card is using RAM instead of its own RAM. If I install a video card with its own RAM, will the full 4GB be available?

View 7 Replies View RelatedVista 64 Installed Physical Memory Vs Total Physical Memory
Mar 26, 2009I'm running Vista 64 Home (SP1) Premium on a homebuilt machine w/8GB (4 X 2GB modules). Windows is reporting 8 GB of Installed Physical Memory but is reporting only 4 GB of Total Physical Memory. I first noticed this when, after installing a game, the game system specs said 3092 MB of RAM.
I have checked the BIOS and it recognizes 8 GB. Memory Remapping is Enabled. Under Memory Remapping is "PCI MMIO Allocation: 4GB to 3328 MB" (?). MSConfig Boot Options shows Max Memory is not checked and no value in the box below. I tried enabling it and using 8192 as the value, but it made no difference. DxDiag shows 8 GB installed RAM. how I can get windows to make available all 8 GB of RAM? (Motherboard is ASUS Maximus II Extreme w/Intel Q9550 processor running at Q9650 clock speed, memory running at 1127 MHz
Is There A Way To Install On An Old PC That Has No DVD Drives?
Apr 8, 2009I have an old Dell Dimension 8250 test PC that I would like to install Vista onto. However, it has no DVD drives. I cannot even boot from external USB drives (3.5" disk drive, external HDDs, and DVD burner drive -- CMOS doesn't see them and found out PC doesn't support bootable USB devices). However, I do have enough HDD space (30 GB free on second partition) to copy Vista DVD (or make an ISO file) onto it through network (will take a while).

Anyway, how, instead of working with this bizarre set-up, could I "merge" C: and D: into one hard drive (in Windows Explorer's eyes, at least) so that I do not have files arbitrarily split into two?

Drives Not Showing Up
Aug 29, 2008i've googled this issue all over, and though i've found many people with the same problem, none of their 'fixes' have worked for me. hopefully you guys can come up with something (without reinstalling vista again!) to make it work. as a note, i'm running Ultimate x64 and all of my hardware specs are more than enough and i'm pretty positive that's not the issue.
suddenly, in the middle of normal usage, my drives were no longer recognized by my computer (optical and virtual drives). they do not show up in "Computer" or disk management. they are recognized by the BIOS. i had DaemonTools installed at the time, it was the latest version; i've read that could be an issue. i have absolutely no idea how to get my drives recognized again - i've got some work i really need to get done and haven't been able to fix this............

Nov 30, 2008I have vista home premium with service pack 1. I bought a new external hard drive with usb. western digital my book. It wouldn't install correct drivers it so I returned it and got a maxtor OneTouch4. Vista can't install the correct drivers for this either. Lists it in the device manager as Unknown device with a excamation by it. If I goto the disk manager i see it as drive 1 with no letter assigned. When clicking to try to change it I get an error that says to refresh or reboot. I did both and no change. The disk manager sees the correct size of disk. but I can't assign a drive letter. In device manger under disks i do have the maxtor drive showing that its installed. But under unknown devicices there is one listed. And it goes away if I unlug the usb to the drive. I take the usb drive to xp and it works as soon as i plug it in. Two different brand store bought externals didn't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the disks and unknown device with no luck. The little icon in the bottom right that says safely remove hardware when i click it shows the maxtor drive connected.
