Zip Disks Compressed By Drive Space

Jul 29, 2005

I 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.

The problem I'm having is, every week I do a scan disk and defrag.

The only connection I can c is this copying Dig pix straight to disc...Am I right or is there sumthing else going on

Don't Have A Set Of XP Disks / Cloning Main Drive

Jul 19, 2009

My main HD is about to give up. It's making strange noises whenever I start up or have a file on that drive open.Could I buy a new HD and install it as a slave drive. Then clone my main drive to the slave drive and then get rid of the old main drive and put the clone in as my new main drive? Without a lot of f***ing about?The reason I ask about doing it this way is that I don't have a set of XP disks, I just have the recovery disk that came with computers 8-10 years ago. It's pre sp1 and I've used it three or four times already and I'm sure it will be more hassle than I need to re install from it.I'm running XP sp2. When I had this comp put together they had to do a raid controller, I don't really know what that is. Something to do with the fact that the main drive is IDE only and my current second drive is IDE or Sata but is in place as an IDE drive.

Erosion Of Free Space On Hard Drive Becoming Used Space

Aug 6, 2005

I 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.

C Drive Fills Up - No Space Left To Defrag The Drive

Mar 23, 2006

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.

Hard Drive Space

Sep 6, 2005

I recently was working with about seven 4gb file and they are now deleted however my hard drive space has went from about 65gb to 2gb. Yet everything is gone, and they wouldn't go in the recycle bin so its no being stored there. I got a tool called SpaceMonger that looks at free space and nothing is taking up that room. In fact what is shows is taking up room doesn't add up to the space being used. Are these file being held somewhere and not deleting. Is there anyway to clear the room again that isn't being taken up

Where Has All My Hard Drive Space Gone?

Jan 8, 2009

I'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

Way To Increase Space Of Drive

Feb 8, 2009

My wife is actually the computer whiz in the family, but she's out of town and I could use some help. We are running Win. XP. Our C drive is full and I was wondering if there's some way to extend the file size. There's not enough room to defrag (15% needed?). I've deleted some apps, but it's not enough. Mail, everything is affected.

What Is Using My Hard Drive Space?

Dec 18, 2008

Im 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
available

Hard Drive Space - Using Nero 7

Aug 23, 2009

I 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

Space On Hard Drive Is Showing Less

Apr 26, 2010

I 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

Disk Drive Used Space Indicates More Data

Aug 13, 2005

I am running Windows XP SP2 with a Silicon Image SATARaid card running a 150GB mirrored volume. The fee space indicated by windows explorer indicates I have 19GB but when I add all the directory sizes together it only comes to 90GB. I have checked "Show hidden files and directories" and also ran a virus scan.I remember reading an article about how hackers can use disk on remote hosts and hide the data but have no idea how to check this, also I may be barking up the wrong tree.
