Jim in Anchorage Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 New update-with the info the bug sent me I was able to easily get 2GB open on C[i had no idea there were hidden files]. Now I can dump those partitions. Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 One more thing. XP reserves 12% of the hard drive for System Restore by default. That's just stupid, IMO. System Restore needs a minimum of 200MB to operate, but should never have much over 1 GB, IMO. You can get some hard disk space by reducing the amount used for System Restore: http://searchwindowsserver.techtarget.com/...1212478,00.html Good tip. I reduced mine - it took several minutes to execute. I didn't need the space, but I run my security programs frequently, and they always chewed up time analyzing the system restore points. The deletions didn't show up while running disk cleaner - but cccleaner wiped them off the disk. 173 Mb was freed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
