Critical Hard Disk Free Space Error on Lenovo G500 after upgrading from Win8 to Win8.1

I encountered an error with my harddrive after upgrading my Lenovo G500 from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. The error is coming up under the Lenovo Solution Center. The error reads "Some partition in your hard drive has less than 9.5% of its capacities. It suggests to click on Fix Options; System; Storage Devices. Then it displays Internal Hard Drive ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB.The solution center now displays 8 different partitions labled as follows:
Drive Name: Space:
W: WINRE_DRV. 694.99 MB free of 999.99 MB
E... EFI SYSTEM 260 MB
U.. UNAMED PARTITION. 0.97 GB (THIS IS THE DRIVE PRODUCING THE ERROR)
M. MICROSOFT RESERVED PARTITION. 128 MB
C. MICROSOFT RESERVED PARTITION. 850.43 GB FREE OF 890.72 GB
W. WINDOWS RECOVERY ENVIRONMENT. 155.46 MB OF 449.99 MB
D: WINDOWS RECOVERY ENVIRONMENT. 22.74 GB FREE OF 24..99 GB
P...PBR_DRV. 1.8 GB FREE OF 13.01 GB
I have tried to run disk clean up and optimize drives which were suggestions from the Lenovo Solution Center but neither has been successful in removing the error. Any assistance you guys can provide will help me out a lot
Thanks,
Dan

I got an error when i tried disk repair ("the underlying task reported failure on exit - 1 HFS volume could not be repaired, 1 volume could not be repaired"). Is that the source of my problem?
Hi and a warm welcome!
Absolutely, good deduction.
If DU can't fix it after a couple more tries then, your best bets are DiskWarrior from Alsoft...
http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
Data Rescue II...
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
This last one would require another HD with plenty of space to recover to.
Unfortunately, Disk Utility can't fix all that much, and the only other Apple Options are erasing the HD, or installing OSX to a second drive, then using Migration Assistant to move stuff over to the new HD.

How much hard disk free space?

My mini is used almost exclusively as a media "appliance", hooked up to a large flat panel TV. Installed on the mini itself is the operating system and little more. Attached to it are several (currently 4) large (1 TB) firewire hard drives crammed with movies and TV episodes (I have digitized my extensive DVD collection with Handbrake plus I have nearly stopped buying new DVDs in favor of downloading from iTunes).
My question is how much (what percentage) of these external drives needs to be left empty in order for them to operate with reasonable efficiency. They are virtually "read only" in that once I have uploaded a video file to them, it sits there until and unless I want to watch it (or unless I decide to download it to my MacBook and/or iPad to take with me for watching on trips).
I recall reading years ago that one should keep 10% or so of a hard disk free. Elsewhere, I read it should be as much as 20%. But it strikes me that that would mainly apply to a start-up drive that is constantly being read and written to, not a drive like mine that mainly just stores files and occasionally reads from them.
To re-emphasize, I keep much of my start-up drive free except what's required for the OS so the issue isn't that but just the external storage drives. I hate to waste as much as 400GB of space (100GB on each of four 1 TB drives).

I think your argument has some validity, but since you have a lot of time and effort invested in this project, I personally wouldn't try to cut things too close to the bone.
With drives of that size, I'm comfortable with the 10% rule; perhaps even 5%.
However, with the price of drives falling, perhaps gradually transitioning to larger capacity drives would be a good idea.
My understanding is that most modern drives dynamically re-allocate data from sectors that the drive controller senses are going to fail -- so having an adequate percentage of "wiggle room" makes sense to me.
"Wiggle room" may also come in handy if you ever need to rescue a drive using a utility like DiskWarrior, which needs space to rebuild directory structures.

Hard Disk free space lick after system restore windows 8.1

I did a system restore and after that, the laptop was functioning slowly. I realised that the disk usage was spiking. Later I realised also that I was constanlty loosing free space from my hard disk without downloading anything or any action. I run the windows
performer recorder when the spikes occurs.Link in OneDrive https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=26DCEC24336471AC%21106 . Furthermore when the laptop is on idle the disk usage goes to 100%. Task manager shows that most of the usage is from svchost.exe(defragsvc).
(I dont think it is a scheduled act from windows to run defragging at the moment). What could be? Any advice?

Hi,
From your recorder information, we could see these 5 process below take high disk space:
WPRUI.exe
System
vprot.exe
avgui.exe
avgcefrend.exe
Since you run the Windows performance toolkit to trace the log, exclude WPRUI.exe and system. It seems you use AVG product.
I suggest you disable or uninstall them temporarily to check if the disk usage decrease.

Hard Disk free space dissapears and reappears

Hi There,
Lately I've been noticing some very strange fluctuations in the reported "free space" on my HD. I let the disk get quite full (~1GB free or so) and then starting backing up and transferring data to my external HD. But when I started deleting these items the free space on the Hard Disk didn't increase. Then, one week later, it spontaneously goes from 2GB free to 13GB free (which I assume is the right ballpark).
Any thoughts as to what might be going on?

Your diagnostic priority, in order, is Disk Utility (Repair Permissions and Repair Disk), then Disk Warrior (a much more powerful version of the Repair Disk function in Disk Utility).
Mac Janitor is not really going to help much here. Many Mac users turn to Mac Janitor in a knee-jerk way, like the old "rebuilding the desktop" on OS 9, but if your problem is loss of gigabytes of disk space, there is simply no way the plain text logs maintained by MacJanitor can expand to gigabytes in size unless they are writing to the logs constantly without a break.
Part of your free space fluctuation may be explained by the automatic virtual memory swap file management does, as VM swap files come and go. The less RAM you have, especially under 1GB, the more likely you have VM swap files building up. When you have more than 10GB disk space free, the swap file movements aren't too noticeable. When you get down below 5GB free, swap files take up proportionally more of your free space and have a much higher chance of destabilizing the machine.

Hard disk free space and 192Khz/24bit time recording limit...

Hello, when I try to record a long stuff at high sampling rate... 96Khz or 192Khz - 24bit , the max time that I have is 65 minutes whit the metronome set at 20 bpm, the max recording time limit is not active, and the space of the hard disk is of 900 GB... but I have only 65 minute of recording time... is a big problem when I need to record classical stuff or a Live.
--- for 12 channels at 192Khz/24bit in 1 hour of recording time the hard disk space needed is aprox 3,9 Gb... how is possible that LP 7.2.1 limit my recording time ???---- if I go down to 48 Khz I have the time of 248 Minutes of recording... ----

Hello, when I try to record a long stuff at high
sampling rate... 96Khz or 192Khz - 24bit , the max
time that I have is 65 minutes with the metronome set
at 20 bpm.
Try setting the metronome higer, say 30 or 40.
There may be a quirk in that the lowest metronome settings don't always give you the most time.
Failing that, try another application. Do you by any chance
have the OEM version of Cubase LE or Mackie's Tracktion?
Both of those will get you more time at 96khz/24.
(Seems that both of those applications come as freebies with a lot of different hardware)
You can record the tracks in one app then import them into Logic.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Ok i solved the Schedule.aspx issue: each user had to just simply change the view once they logged for the first time , refresh the page.
I am still facing the issue of some projects not opening in Project Pro 2013: one thing i figured out is that these projects have mandatory fields that are empty: the fields were added after projects were created.
Any idea how i can solve this ?
Thx
RD
Hi RD,
i have also done a Migration from Project 2007 to 2013, i have the same issue with the Schedule.aspx.
Is there a way to solve the issue without to change the view for each user. We have 200+ users.
thx tom

Strange Hard Disk Free space

Asking for information on Macintosh HD, it shows a used space of about 243 GB, instead summing all the folders and files below the Macintosh HD it gives only about 190GB: where are the 50 GB missing? There is something hidden that I can delete?
Thanks

Usually hidden files should not be deleted. However, files you yourself have created, log files, and files from applications you don't use can be deleted. If unsure if a file is associated with a particular application, ask. My FAQ here has several tips on cleaning disk space*:

Logical Disk Free Space Monitor - Slow to detect low free space

We are using the built in two trigger (MB and %) logical disk free space monitor in SCOM 2012 R2. We have setup overrides for MB warning and critical for both system and non-system drives and for a group containing disks we do not want monitored. The monitor
actually works fine, triggering an alert when both the MB and % free criteria are met. The problem is that it takes almost an hour for the initial alert to fire. After the initial alert, if I further fill the disk to push it from warning to critical, the alert
changes within the specifiec interval, which we have left at 15 minutes. The alert also clears using the 15 minute interval.
Has anyone else seen this behavior with this monitor? A disk monitor that takes an hour to fire is not going to be very useful.

I wanted to see for myself if there was anything else that I might be missing, so I opened up the Windows 2008 Logical Disk Free Space monitor XML and noticed that there is a NumSamples configuration that is set to 4. So, if the interval is 15 minutes, the
disk would have to exceed both threshold types for 4 consecutive intervals in order to change state and generate alert. This would be a minimum of 1 hour before an alert is raised with the default 15 minutes interval.
Unfortunately, NumSamples is not overrideable in the monitor type, which is too bad... The only way to get an alert sooner than one hour is to override interval. For example, if you want an alert within 20 minutes, override interval to 300 seconds (5 minutes).
Here is the code - see for yourself:

This proves 2 things:
1. Your testing proved that the monitor is working as designed - you got an alert in about an hour
2. This is a bad design at best, or a bug if you wish, as NumSamples should not be a hidden configuration - it should be exposed in override parameters in the console.
This should be fixed by Microsoft.

Need to separate drive alerts with Logical Disk Free Space monitoring in SCOM 2012

I have an interesting need here to separate our SCOM alerts for Logical Disk Free space so that one alert is for OSSystem drives ONLY (C:/D:) and the other monitor alerts on all APP drives only (E:, etc). So far we have had great success using Kevin Holman's
blog post.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2009/11/24/writing-monitors-to-target-logical-or-physical-disks.aspx
We have overrides set so that the monitors report ONLY the percentage of free space left and ignores any MB threshold. So far so good, the alert comes in that host A reports low disk space on D: at 2.345...% free or host B reports low disk space on F: at
4.567...% free space etc. Now that we have our monitors working within the Windows Server classes Logical Disk, we need to set these monitors so that one is just for C or D drives with the alert named system Logical Disk Free Space OS Disk Warn and the other
monitor just reports on E - Z drives (excluding C or D) with the alert named Logical Disk Free Space APP Disk Warn.
We are very new to SCOM so I made the rookie mistake of creating a dynamic group for all Windows Server 2003 Logical Disk class that only includes Device Name = C or D. But found out too late you cant point a monitor to a group, it has to target a class.
And using the current monitors we set up with the above blog uses the correct logical disk class, but it doesnt care what instance (device Id = value), it will report low disk space on ANY logical drive. How in the world can we separate and exclude these monitors
so that one alerts only on OS disks (C and D) and the other only alerts on app disks (E through Z)?

Hi Kevsharp,
Quite confusing after reading your question.
So based on your requirement, What i understand is you need separate alerts for all the drives of the disk is running at low or out of space right ?
For the above just create a simple performance counter monitor and use the same counters as kevin has used in his blog.
Now Target: Use Windows server operating system (This will target all the Windows operating system agents in your SCOM. If the specified discovery MP's are installed).
Set a threshold Below 10% is critical or what ever. You will get the alerts in your console.

SCOM 2007 R2 : Logical Disk Free Space : Did not Alert

Hello reader ,
I know this might be a repeated hearing for you. I have been sitting wit this issue for many hours now. I would like to understand where or what am I missing.
We have the default 'Logical Disk Space' Monitoring enabled for ALL servers in our environment. In one SQL server, non-system drive(E:) went beyond the warning(2000MB and 10%) and Critical (1000MB and 5%) Threshold.The total space allotted for the Drive
E: was 79GB. Now the total space left today morning was 698MB. But no alert was triggered.
I checked the following
If the health service watcher was available. - Yes it was.
If the Space really dropped to 698 - Yes it did. I verified from Performance Report.
I checked if there are any overrides - Nothing specific found.
In most of the blogs they said me to check if both criteria was successful - As shown above it is clearly matches.
Any idea why this alert was not fired ?

Thank you Agarwal ! To Answer your Question.
1) verify the monitor settings again.
=> I did this N number of times.
2) ensure there are no overrides
=> I did this too.
3) ensure that monitor properties are set for the correct Windows OS (same as that of the server).
=>What Do you mean here ?. I did not change any settings , it was there by default. No change was done at all.
4) also confirm that you do not have any other overrides on the two aggregate rollup monitors for "logical disk free space". These aggregate rollup monitors are just below the unit monitor in SCOM console.
=>Those Aggregate Rollup monitors are disabled. As we already have this unit monitor Enabled. There is no link to Aggregate monitor.
If all these settings are true, then can you try this. calculate the exact value in both % and MBytes according to your server, put the same values in your monitor through an override and repro the low disk space condition,. you should get an alert.
=> Not so easy to do this in prod. So will keep you posted when this is tested. Looks like this is the only way we can confirm if the alerts are sent.
