Re-defrag Reserved System Space
Dec 28, 2005
Defraging main HardDisk Drive in XP Home edition w/ diskeeper 8.x and everything went smoothly as always, but then I decided to uninstall some useless apps and then went back to re-defrag and the reserved system space disappeared. Diskeeper was moving my files into the area where the reserved system space used to be so I stopped it. I then ran system restore and brought my system back 2days and re-tried to defrag and the reserved system space is still missing. Is this even a big deal? The computer (Dell 4400 P3) seems to be working just fine. Thanks.

When I run Diskeeper to defrag them it shows the space on the drives and what that space represents.

I'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.

Traffic flow can be managed very well in Windows XP using the Quality of Service (QoS)Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP).However, programs must be designed to take advantage of this QoS API.The traffic from programs that are not QoS-aware are sent directly to a different API called TCI.These programs have to fight for bandwidth because unlike the QoS API, there is no bandwidth reservation.If you use a lot of QoS-aware programs and would like to change the percent of the bandwidth that is reserved for the program, read below.Make sure your logged on as Administrator.Do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges.

Defrag runs for 2-3 minutes maybe and the computer freezes or defrag stalls. I have checked for viruses. I have run defrag in safe mode.

I want to use a Defrag programe in order to clean up my computer (truse me, I really need to clean it up...). Now I have a programe called "UltimateDefrag", and I'm running a defrag using this programe as we speak. Also, since I'm not sure about this programe, I've taken a look in the programe manual, and I could bearly understand enough to run a defarg using this programe.

Win xp pro, pen 4, norton antivirus, Win firewall. After I downloaded and installed Windows Live Messenger the defrag process wouldn't defrag all the files. I reformatted my computer without WLM and defragging was not a problem, worked like a charm. So, I downloaded and installed WLM again, and lo and behold the same problem occurred, the defrag program would not defrag all the files. I uninstalled WLM and defrag process still wouldn't defrag all the files. How do I solve this problem of not being able to defrag all of my files without reformatting my computer.

When I try to open System Information, I get the message; 'Can't Collect Information.' A network error occurred in connecting to Windows Management
Instrumentation. Can this be fixed or do I have to reinstall XP? Also Defrag will not work and the Icon for Windows Update doesn't work.

I have tried to disk defrag and I keep getting the error message "Disk Defragment could not start." I've tried to reinstall itAlso, System Restore is not working. I get to select the point which I want to restore to, however when I select the continue / next button, nothing happens. Anyone have an idea as to what could be wrong? I've run anti-virus, anti-malware, (AVG, Malwarebites, Hijackthis) and I've re-installed things just in case a program may have erased it, my comp was last defragged 2 days ago.

Recently I found System Restore not working. It would neither restore to an earlier time nor create a new restore point. I tried doing a virus scan using Avast, rebooting, checking that it is (supposed to be) running and safe mode.Disconnecting from the Internet and turning off antivirus and firewall also made no difference. I also turned it off and on again. I noticed that initially it said it was monitoring drives C, D & E but after turning on again it only showed drives C & D. These drives are all partitions on my HD.On checking E I found that it had no file system and was advised to format it. On attempting this I got Format did not complete successfully.I also attempted to Defrag and got Disk Defragmenter could not start.

I'm working on a Dell Poweredge server that has Windows Server 2000 .. It has become very slow so I added another gig of RAM to it which helped some.. I went to defrag and the Bar was solid red. Windows defrag won't touch it so I tried installing Diskeeper's new 2007 version only to find out it wasn't compatable with 2000 server. Anyone know of a good program that will work on 2000 server? Thanks

By default, Windows XP keeps a backup of system files in the System Volume Information folder. This can eat up valuable space on your hard drive. If you don't want Windows to back up your system files:1. Open the Control Panel2. Double-click on system3. Click the System Restore tab4. Check "Turn off System Restore on all drives"5. Hit Apply6. You may now delete the System Volume Information folder.Warning! If you turn this off you will not be able to use Windows System Restore to restore your system in case of failure.

The problem I'm having is, every week I do a scan disk and defrag. I've noticed that once defraged since a few weeks ago I HAVE GONE from over 70% free space down to only under 40%....I don't run any major software at the moment BUTDO use the internet on ADSL most days BUT not to any great extent. The only connection I can c is this copying Dig pix straight to disc...Am I right or is there sumthing else going on

I did a clean install of Windows 2000 Pro on my Toshiba Tecra 8100 laptop. My hard drive has a capacity of 11gb. After the clean install I only have 4.8gb left on the hard drive. I have followed reformatting instructions and installed again, but get the same result. It is taking forever to test different suggestions, since I have to keep reinstalling. File system is ntfs. A good portion of the gig being used is in Documents and Settings, but I thought that should get wiped out. I don't understand why I am still seeing folders for iPod, Lexar, etc. I have burned 16 hours on this.

I have a problem that give me headache. my hardisk is running out of space. it's capacity is about 19 GB and i think that enough for my Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 PC. While recking my brain toward the problem, i notice that the Windows foler in C: is too big, about 6.4 GB.! It's that reasonable, it's it? Uninstalling some programs is not my choice as i need all the program for my work. It's something can I do? of course i have done disk cleanup.

my problem is, after each restore was completed, i lost 1GB of free space on my C drive. by the 5th restore, i was up to losing 2GB of free space on my C drive. i know this because i went to My Computer looked at the amount of free disc space on my C drive. after doing the 5 or so restores, i've lost a total of about 6 GB of my C drive's free space. why is that happening? how do i get that space back?

I just had Win XP Pro installed on my machine. Primary HD is 80 GB. The drive previously ran Win 98 SE. The tech formatted it and installed Win XP Pro. System runs fine and all appears to function OK. However, the drive capacity is not accurately displayed anywhere in the system (other than BIOS). I'm trying to find out how I can have the drive space accurately displayed.

I just restored my xp computer to an earlier system restore point.After checking the properties of my c drive I found that the used space on my hardrive had increased by about 3/4 of a gigabyte. I couldn't understand why that was, so I used a program called dirgraph to analyze, and chart what amount of space the individual directories each use on my c drive, and then took a snapshot of the chart.
I then undid my restore, and instead of regaining the .75gb back, I lost another .75gb. So I used dirgraph again, compared snapshots, and found where the extra space is being taken from. Dirgraph shows a subdirectory of c called "System Volume Information". It has a subdirectory called "restore". In it was another subdirectory with a large 5gb file, and 2 smaller .75gb files, named rp1064, and rp1066. One of the .75gb files was not in the snapshot I took before I undid my restore. I know the system restore put them in(it added the 1st when I did the restore, and the 2nd when I undid the restore). But the thing is that my system restore is set to use 12% of my hardrive, or 4010mb(max allowed). And the file(csystem volume information

it all started with me tryin to free up space. i was down to abt 5gb on my windows drive so i copied a video file which was 1.5gb across to my 250gb drive no worries. i then deleted the the original file. after it was sent to the recyle bin, i opened up the recycle bin and deleted it. only to be hit with a file in use error? has happened before so i ignored it and went to delete it again only before i could hit delete i was hit with a bsod.didnt pay that much attention i only noticed that it said the win32k.sys file was the culprit.i rebooted the machine and bang, a bsod before the welcome screen.this time i pay attention, only to see that it doesnt mention the offending file just that its a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA problem.

A folder named "System Volume Information" has been created in each drive (C:,D:,E:,F:)and consuming significant disk space day by day. Whether deleting these folders will create any problem. Any other technique to stop increasing the size of these folders ? Please suggest.Presently consuming more than 3 GB in total.
Sometimes I need system restore to speed up the PC (besides other registry tools )therefore this function is enabled in the system.

How much space should I plan to partition for a new install of Windows XP pro? My current setup has 3 partitions on an 80GB drive. My system drive is about 5GB and I keep getting the low disk space message. Is 10GB enough or too much? I install all of my software and documents to another partition.

I have win xp and my hard drive is literally vanishing while I watch. For example: I deleted nearly 7 gigs worth of stuff from it and checked properties on it, and during the course of a half hour it dropped from 7 gigs to approximately 8megs all by itself. I have not downloaded anything, but I have noticed for some time my space has been vanishing on me. I have msn internet service and it has been creating duplicate emails at an alarming rate. I m not sure if this is the culprit or not but when I deleted it i suddenly had 6 gigs back.

This all started with check disk saying i have a corrupt file on my HD. Everything was working fine i was ignoring the error (only because i have tons of projects that im working on) every time windows started windows would say i have a corrupt file. I finally gave in and ran check disk it wiped 80 gig's of data which i had not backed up in any shape of form. Finally i after much trying to recover the data i gave up and decided to format the whole drive and start fresh.
