So, this warning keeps showing up and it's really annoying. What are the options to make this warning go away without harming my ability to recover should I need to do that in the future? Searching Google I've found many workarounds that don't seem to really explain or address this problem properly. Anyone know more about this? Any tips, knowledge, or advice would be much appreciated.
Vista sucks. I wish I bought XP with my PC instead now... On Wednesday it crashed my system, the OS would not start, MBR were damaged due to an update. Wasn't a problem with any hardware as, I installed Ubuntu + am now formatted and back running with Vista again. IMO, get a new OS which doesn't requre so much space. Or get another / larger hard-drive to store files on.
There is a program out there called DriveSpacio that, once run, can tell you exactly what sections of your hard drive are taking up the most. For me, its was 9GB of old podcasts I never watched! Saved me a bunch of space. Heres the link: http://www.drivespacio.f-sw.com/ Hope I helped you...
It's not a problem with not enough disk space on my C: drive, though - I have 100 GBs that's not being used there. It's just this D: recovery drive. Maybe there is a way to allocate more GBs to the D: drive? If so, I haven't seen that advice recommended anywhere yet.
Have you gone to Microsofts site and looked?? BTW Why exactly do you think XP is better then Vista?? Plese no Sheep Speak either.. Bahhh Bahhh What reasons seriously? D/C
websiteideas, I have a email out to someone in the know at Microsoft.. Give me till tomrrow.. Later D/C
Oh... not much here that needs to be fixed. Somewhere in your settings (I can't find it at the moment) there is a setting that shows how much space to save for Windows Restore. Mine is like 2 GB, and somehow yours must have gotten to 10GB. Find that setting and change it!
Do a system recovery. Hit F11 when your PC is booting up. Warning though, it'll delete everything but once it does your PC will run like a charm.
There are actually ways to allocate more space to a partition. But only one of them will work for a recovery partition, and then only if it's a part of a larger hard disk (i.e. a true partition and not an entire hard disk). Try going into Disk Management (Start Menu -> Right-click Computer, Manage -> navigate to Storage, Disk Management on the left). If the recovery partition (D and OS (C are on the same disk (typically Disk 0), you should be able to Shrink C: and then Extend D: (right-click each to see if those choices are available).
