disk usage

I just got a new i7 with windows 7 64 bit on it yesterday. Everything was slow, and I figured out why, but don't really understand why, or what I can do to keep it from happening in the future. Yesterday I attached it to an external NTFS drive that had a bunch of bad sectors, copied over...

Alright, I've searched these forums and a number of others and haven't found a solution to my exact problem. Basically what is happening to me is my C Drive where Windows 7 is installed is only saying I have 28gb's of harddrive space left (on a 100gb partition) yet when I've run treeview it...

Windows 7 experiences 100% disk busy and system compleltely unresponsive - won't even move the mouse pointer. Occurs anything from a few minutes to an hour after connecting to a VPN to which many other Windows 7 users connect with no problem. The problem sometimes clears itself in 5-30 minutes...

I installed Windows 7 Pro using an update package from Windows Vista Home. My issue is this. If I right click my C: (Primary Partition) it says I have over 70 gigs of space used. If I go into the root of C: and "Select All" with Hidden and System files showing, I am just over 40 Gigs. Which is...

Hi, I have quite srange problem with my restore points.

Hi folks, Question here, First I have System Restore disabled so that can't be the source of the issue. It seems that my drive space (the partition Win 7 is on) keeps getting smaller even though I haven't added any programs or large amounts of data. I'm not talking a great deal of space just 200...

After the upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 RC my disc usage went from 172 to 177. Is this to be expected? Is it because I did an upgrade? Or is Win7 Premium that much larger? Is there a folder hiding somewhere with installation or rollback files that could at some point be deleted...

Is there a way to create symlinks in Windows 7? I've got several external hard drives for Media, etc and all and I want to symlink them to the folders in my user's folder. Is there a way to do that? For those who don't know what symlinks are, it's a linux thing, just hoping there's a similar...

when I put a dvd in and try to import it through my video camera program I get an error message saying 'DVD drive in use by another program'. I never used to get that error message when importing from my dvd player, and as far as I know the dvd drive is not in use by another program.

Hello, My little hard drive is always cranking away, and often gets up to 55 degrees celsius (which is at the top end of the Hard Drive Manufacturer's allowable operating temperature). So when I go into the Resource Monitor for Vista, it shows the Disk as running at 90%+ Highest Active time a...
