Jul 20, 2010I'm running XP Home on an E6750 system with 2 GB (1x1 GB) DDR2 800 Crucial Ballistix. I'm a big multitasker with nine windows from FireFox usually open with about fiver or more Tabs open with in them and sometime have two or more BT open. My memory jump up 1+ GB and my system starts to slow down in responding with changing windows and task.
I set up my Page File with 33 MB on my C: drive for Dump File and 3072 MB on my E:drive for my main Page File. When I looked at my % Usage in the Performance console in Administrative Tools, the C: drive's Page File are the only one being use just under 100% and the E: drive is barely reaching 3% usage... I think that not allocating my second drive's Page File is what's causing the slow down. Does anyone know what's happening with the Page File on my second drive?

Aug 6, 2005I recently noticed that my free space on hard drive has been eroded and my used space has been increasing. I have not added any software. Much to my dismay I cannot figure out why this would occur. We did make recovery disks and removed our partition some weeks ago. It seems our C drive is using up space without any explanation. Ran many different anti virus and spyware software and they did not detect anything.

Mar 23, 2006I'm running Windows XP sp2. Problem is, my C drive fills up. I have removed all but the latest restore point, reduced the max amount of restore point storage to 5%, and removed all of the programs that I don't use very often, moved all of my files to the D drive, clean the cache and remove cookies regularly, and use disk cleanup a lot. After all of this, I only have 1.25GB left in C drive. Not even enough space left to defrag the drive. Anyone have any suggestions? Before long I won't have ANY programs left. I don't use a TV card or anything like that, although I do have the capability to record but never use it.

Jan 8, 2009I'm running Windows XP home on a modest laptop. Recently, I've noticed a massive reduction in my hard drive space for no apparent reason. Its specd at 40Gb, although in the 'properties' it states 33Gb actual capacity. BUT, If I 'explore' the hard drive, I come up with around 11Gb used. This includes all hidden folders as well (pagefile, hiberfil etc.) as well as the usual Windows, and Docs & Settings etc. I have only used 11Gb, 'properties' tell me I've used 29.2Gb, and only have 3.8Gb left I have used several anti virus scanners, and spyware scanners - but they make no difference to the capacity shown. I only have modest needs for hard drive space, but would really like my 18Gb back 29.2 - 11 = around 18

View 8 Replies View RelatedWhat Is Using My Hard Drive Space?
Dec 18, 2008Im running Windows XP and I recently noticed that my "C:" drive has very little hard-drive space remaining--less than 2GBs out of about 38GBs. (My hard drive is partitioned into a C: and a D: drive.) I set about trying to free space on the C: drive. I have uninstalled a number of programs, I cleared my browsers' caches, deleted temporary internet and Windows temp files, used Windows disk cleaner and crap cleaner to remove junk, and reduced the space on the drive available to System Restore. Over the last several days, I
have cumulatively freed up about 6GBs of space; however, each time I take some action, I find that the space gets mysteriously used up and I'm left once more with less than 2GBs of free space. I have run my antivirus software (Avast!) and my spyware programs (Spybot Search & Destroy and Windows Defender). I am also using Zone Alarm free firewall. I don't know what more to do and cannot figure out what is eating up my hard drive space. My drive is in need of defragmentation, but cannot be defragmented because there is not enough space

Hard Drive Space - Using Nero 7
Aug 23, 2009I recently downloaded loads of music video's with a view to burning them onto DVD using my Nero 7 DVD Burning Programes. I had 75% free space on my hard drive at that time. Many of these video's were flv format so I had to download and install a flv to mpg video converter programme. After converting the video's from flv to mpg so that Nero would accept them and making up the music video compilation using Nero 7 I noticed that I had only 4% free space left on my hard drive. So I couldn't get on with the second compilation. Nero told me I needed more hard disc space. I then deleted all the music video's I no longer needed, both the flv versions and the converted mpg versions

Apr 26, 2010I have 80GB hard drive on my computer. I only have 31GB free space. My total size is 74.5GB. So I'm assuming the 5.5 is made up of programs needed to run the computer. I have deleted all my music video and audio files/folders which were taking up even more space. I've tried defragmentation, emptying the recycle bin etc etc. I've uninstalled some rarely used programs. In my Program Files there are 49 Items taking up 34.3GB of space. Surely this is too much, I do have Nero and Roxio which take a lot of space. Looking at 'Control Panel' I see 'Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1', 'Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2' and also 'Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2'. Do I really need 1.1 and 2.0 if I have 3.0

Jul 29, 2005I have recently upgraded to Windows XP Professional, but I have several old zip disks that were compressed using Drivespace under Windows 98SE. Is there any way I can access these disks to get the stuff off them using XP? When I try accessing the drive I just get a file displayed called READTHIS.TXT which says the following:- "This disk was compressed using Windows 98 DriveSpace. To use this disk, you must first mount it. To mount it:
1. Run DriveSpace in Windows.
2. In the Drives list, click the drive that contains the disk, and then click Mount on the Advanced menu.
To automatically mount all compressed devices, use the Settings command on the Advanced menu. (If this file is located on a drive other than the drive that contains the compressed disk, then the disk is already ounted)." I do not have access to a computer with Windows 98 on it at this time.

Nov 13, 2007I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I recently replaced a bad motherboard which forced me to wipe my hard drive since it was set up in a raid format. I currently have 2 120GB hard drives which is equivalent of about 198GB total.When I reinstalled Windows I made 1 partition of about 30GB for Windows and other programs only and created the other partition with the rest of the hard drive without really looking at the GBs avail on it. Once Windows was installed I noticed that the 2nd partition only had 120GB giving me 150GB total. I booted from the Windows CD again and did not see any unaccounted space from the hard drive.
