Re: Vista Hard Disk Usage
Don't worry about it. If you need the space, it will magically appear.
Vista disk space is like RAM, if it's available, it will be used. Then
released when needed. Temp files, restore points, recycle bin, paging file,
all are somewhat dynamic. If the space is available, Vista will use it. What
had you rather have: 12 restore points and 5 Gig available or 1 restore
points and 30 Gig available?
Re: Vista Hard Disk Usage
Thanks for answer, helpful.
I won't ask why vista sends the disk space gauge red
and says I don't have enough room to load more programs!
.... and carry on
Re: Vista Hard Disk Usage
Vista will install and run on a 20GB partition (even Ultimate). Anyone with
any computer sense store their personal files on a seperate partition.
Re: Vista Hard Disk Usage
I think your problem is related to windows vista system restore (so
was mine). I found those two links that can help you minize/explain your
problem:
'John Barnett's Windows Vista Support: Turn Off System Restore'
(http://vistasupport.mvps.org/turn_of...em_restore.htm)
and/or
