View 2 Replies View RelatedAn HP a1624n with Windows Media Center 2005 with 250 Gig hard drive. The drive also contains a partitioned Recovery area. Everything was running fine until I reduced my allocated space for restore points from 12% to 10%. At that time, it got to where the only restore points retained were ones from the current and previous day, which was only one or two very recent points. I ran my Norton AV, Ad-aware, Spybot, and CCleaner. I then turned off System Restore, rebooted, started System Restore and increased allocated space back to 12%.
View 23 Replies View RelatedI create a new Restore Point each month as I start my monthly maintenance sequence and also SpyBot seems to create one. I see by the Restore Point calendar that there seems to be a Restore Point for each day in October. I'm curious as to what process is creating these Restore Points but mainly I'm wondering how to delete some (most) of them. Aren't they consuming a humongous ammount of disk space?

I made a disk clean up to partition D: and there was 3GB of system restore files!!! maybe coz i deleted 6GB earlier anyway i deleted the system restore files
Only NTFS partions can have files with file size more than 4GB..i hope theres nothing wrong with my windows or my hard disk..and i wanna know if theres a way to move that ISO image..thanx in advance.
It says that TOTAL SIZE = 39 GB And Free Space = 5 GB Which means that the size of all files on C is 34 GB But when I select all files including Hidden files and Right Click> Properties, its size of all files is only 27 GB.I did clear recycle bin and disk defragmenter C, but still the same. So why is that?

View 11 Replies View RelatedWindows XP uses a file called hiperfil.sys to save everything it needs when Windows XP goes into hibernation. If you are like me, and never use the hibernate function, you can turn it off. By turning hibernate off, Windows XP deletes the hiberfil.sys. This can free up the as much disk space as the amount of ram that you computer has.Go to Control Panel/Power Options/Hibernation and untick the box. It's as easy as that. Now you will have plenty more disk space to install those mega programs!

It keeps giving me a "Cannot copy file. not enough free disk space.

Is there some max size for a file that you can transfer to a hard drive? I've never heard of that.. but I guess anything is possible.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have had this problem for a while, and finally after a while of not being able to figure out what's happening I don't know how, when, but quite often, if not always, Windows (XP SP2) shows incorrect numbers for free disk space. For example, for disk C: it shows Used Space: 17GB Free Space: 76MB Disk capacity: 20GB As you can see, 3GB are missing.

I have taken off everything I can think off and have moved everything to the other drive. When it is so low, I can't even System Restore

This morning when I woke up I noticed a very wierd and serious problem. I checked my C: drive and noticed that I only had 500mb left, I know for a fact that I had 700+/-mb left last night before going to bed. Thinking this was a mistake I left it and carried on normally. I was then chatting in IRC when the "Low Disk Space" warning popped up. I now had 100mb left.
