Finally got one for the first time: Corsair Force Series GT 120 GB for $88 after rebate, impossible to turn that down.Since space is a premium on these things, I'm curious what people keep on it besides the OS? I'm gonna put Photoshop, Office and various small crap. Games, I guess? Only playing Civ V Gods & Kings now, nothing else. I've got other HDDs for storage.
When I marked a whole folder or a couple of files in Windows Explorer in Windows XP then the sum/total size of all marked files is (was) shown in the status bar in the bottom of the WinExp window.
I am running out of space on my system drive (120GB SSD with < 6GB remaining). It happened in only 12 months. I'd like to know where all that space went, which files are using it. So I'm looking for a way to rank files by size regardless of their folder location, largest-to-smallest, ideally without a full scan of the disk if there are internal indexes that have this info.
My C: drive has been displaying a size of around 60 gb with 40 free even though it's a 300 gb drive. I thought the issue would resolve with a clean install, so I did that. Now I have a fresh install and i need to reinstall everything, but the problem isn't fixed. Below are some screen shots of the drive size:Disk Management, showing my C: Drive's full size ^Any suggestions of how I can reclaim this space?? I've tried a few things already to no avail. If you need any more information about my computer to help, let me know. This is pretty annoying, 'cause I want to use that extra space to install Ubuntu.Oh, I just rememberedWhen I look at the drive in Paragon Partition Manager, it shows the full Drive size, but says that the space that is missing from Windows is in use...
Since upgrading to Windows 7 Home Premium I can no longer use any of the HP Printing software that came with the HP 5280 All In One Printer which I had set up with custom paper sizes to print large panorama photo's,eg 420mm x 210mm.I know the printer is capable of printing photo's this size as I have printed many panoramic photo's in this and similar sizes when I was running XP.I have set some custom sizes in Print Server Properties and the settings are being saved there but they do not appear in any paper size lists in Windows or in the HP printer preferences.This is the procedure I'm following.1) Click start menu,then Control Panel,and finally View Devices And Printers.2) Click printer in the list(HP 5280),then click Print Server Properties.3) Click Create New Form,type a custom paper name in the Form Name text box and enter the desired paper size under Paper Size.Click the Save Form button,and the new form is present in the paper list
I have been wanting to ask for a little while now. I was going to upgrade the RAM on my old netbook. It is a Samsung N130. When I went on Amazon, I googled "2GB Netbook Ram", and it came up with a lot of searches. In the images, some of them look bigger than the others (length, and width). I was just wondering if the RAM was all the same size. Because I really don't want to spend like �15 on RAM when it don't even fit in my Netbook.
I have the HP notebook I own adjusted to max resolution (1366 x 768)- "recommended". I have to scroll over to see everything, on any screen. Tried to adjust- other settings only make the screen larger. I want it smaller, so everthing fits on ONE normal page size- no scrolling required to see all of display.
I was wondering if there's a way to make that the automatic default. I'm really getting tired of having resize the colums every time I open a directory.
I have just updated my Sony Vaio Laptop to windows 7 from xp home. Everything is working fine apart from the viewable window size. There is a black sourround around any viewable screen about an inch thick, I have tried to adjust the resolution and the max available is 1024 x 768. Font size is set to smaller but still this very annoying screen remains.
I have bought a dell studio with 500 GB HD. Total HD space was dedicated to C:.I have resized it to two 50 GBs as A: B: , 150 GB as free and 250 GB for C:I like to shrink C: further, but it shows the size of the available shrink space as zero.
Ive just took delivery of a custom built pc with a 90gig ssd drive as the boot drive and it seems like windows has took up almost half 40 gig plus, now i know it should be around 25gig so how do i find out what taking up all that space.
I'm having an issue with Windows 7 Home not recognizing 3TB drives. They show up as 746.5GB in Windows Setup (3TB in BIOS), and I have them running in RAID1 (via Intel RST 10.8). From everything I could find this was a problem with Intel RST 10.1 and older, and should no longer be an issue OR can be fixed in Windows through some extensive maintenance.
Can I fix this prior to Windows 7 Home Installation? If so, how?
I heard that the pagefile uses a lot of space on the ssd and they were right, I reduced it to 800-900mb on my C drive and kept it at system managed on secondary drive. What is the recommended minimum page file size? I have win 7 ultimate x64, 16 gigs ram and my C drive is a 240 GB Kingston HyperX 3k
I'm running windows 7 and recently download IE 9, now when I open my browser to web page, the top and bottom of the screen is not filled but showing part of my screen saver. Is this a shortcoming of IE 9?
Windows 7 64-bit I can adjust the display so it's large enough to read everything but the text. For instance, now have it set at 150% of normal and the title of this post is large but what I'm typing now is so small it's barely readable. MUCH smaller than 10-point.There is a way to customize the display, but anything more than 150% is so large it overflows my wide-screen monitor. Surely there must be a choice between way too large and way too small, but I can't find it.A message on my screen now says to run TSG Sysinfo Last time I downloaded something similar, here, I ended up with a $40 Uniblue program on my computer that I had to fight like crazy to stop invading my world. I never got my money back, either.
I have Windows 7 x64 Home Premium. I always like to have all of the icons, and pictures in a folder display as a large icon, however, because of something I must have done, most of them are in list form, then I have to change it to Large icon. I'm not sure if they are all holding their setting after reboot either but that's another issue.But for now, how do I make all of the pics in all of my image folders display as large icons? I think I may be missing a seeing for that in explorer but I do have Folder Options in my Control Panel.
I wanna re-size my partition disks. I have C: and D:, I want to shrink C's volume, and extend D's, is it possible without a format? If so, how? (I don't care if it needed a 3rd party program).If I need to do a format to get this done, how to?
I spaced out the other night and shut off the power as my computer was shutting down.Everything else seems to be fine, but the minimize, tile, and close buttons in the upper right corner are enormous now. How do I make them smaller?
I just got Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and all is great except for one thing. I had the resolution set at the recommended setting (1024 x 768) and all looked normal except on the taskbar. I couldn't get to the Start button or internet icon because it was too far to the left and off screen.
I changed the resolution to 800 x 600 and can see the buttons now but everything else to view is huge! I only want to set the taskbar to see all the buttons on the left. My monitor is the same one I used on the old computer with the resolution set at 1024 x 768 and all was fine on that.
I have just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit CZ + all updates including service pack Installation was done on empty (formated by installation) 60 GB SSD
Result - used 37,8 GB, free 21,6 GB (out of 59,5 GB) - data provided by explorer
Installation started less then 24 hours ago, finished about one hour ago (including sleeping, downloading and installation took about half of this time)
Installed - on C drive
1) Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit CZ - what was given by installation disc
2) ati catalyst driver center
3) all windows updates - including service pack (before installation of service pack free space was more then 25 GB...)
4) Internet explorer 9
5) Adobe reader and flash player
6) Firefox 5, total commander, winamp, daemon tool, kmplayer, pidgin - all this sw was installed on separated disc drive D (but created some files in profile etc...)
Now I am going to continue installation with MS Office 2010 (on disc D:-) .... I am not surprised because, I formated and reinstalled Windows becuase I run out of disc space on C drive before this installation after 2 years... (there were some other application up to 10 GB on C drive, the rest - 50 GB was used totally by windows.....)
How long I will survive with Windows 7 and ONLY 60 GB system disc???
does anyone here know how to set a default folder size, so that every window opened will display my folders the same size? i like the bigger folders and would like to set it for the entire system, instead of having to continually reset it every time i open a new folder.
I just reinstalled windows 7(32bit) and my windows.old file, which doesn't contain anything in it except for empty folders, still has size to it. Does anyone know what the deal is with this? Never had this happen to me.The show hidden files/folders option is ticked and still shows nothing. Is this a glitch?
i do a backup of my stuff manually each month via an ext. HD. right now, i was backing up my AppData folder (so much is in there!).i compared the size of my laptop's internal HD compared to the ext drive when it was done.
I have windows 7, Hotmail, Internet Explorer.When typing in a new email message on say font size 12, after typing the 3rd or 4th lines, the next line font size decreases to 10. How can I stop this happening.
Windows 7 and I am having problems with the size of the fonts in some of my programmes for instance both google search and facebook are really small also my outlook express. I tried changing font sizes got really big icons but no changes on programmes Fiddles around and now the back buttons and the X to close the programes dont appear unless I point to them.
I was just wondering if it is at all possible to alter the height of the taskbar in Windows 7? On Windows Vista I had made my taskbar thinner to be about the same size as the taskbar in Windows 98 etc.I cannot remember how I did it, but I was just wondering if it is possible to do the same in windows 7?
I have installed Team Fortress 2 and Combat Arms EU on to my Asus F7Se laptop with the Radeon HD 3400 series graphics card and when ever I run either game the screen resolution goes all screwy! It is like when you are watching a 4:3 TV program on a 16:9 TV.
All of my settings are correct within Windows and the game. I have noticed that when I start a game there is a message that windows is changing the theme back to basic (or something like that).
