Low Disk Space Error on Install

So I've been struggling on this all morning. I can't install
flash player on my hard drive because it says I have a low disk
space. I read on some forums that it's because the flash player
software is hardcoded to check the 'C:\' for sufficient space. My
hard drive is the 'H:'. My 'C:' drive is allocated as an usb but
whenever I plug in a flash drive it defaults to 'K:'. I have tried
to tinker around in disk management but I cannot rename or change
my 'H' drive to be the 'C:'. I can not also rename the 'K:' to be
the 'C:' either. This seems like such a simple problem, I'm a
little disappointed that the software is written so that it checks
the 'C' drive opposed to the drive the .exe file is running off of.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

  • "low disk space hp_tools" after installing HP external drive

    I have this message displayed "low disk space hp_tools" after installing HP external drive with simple save.  A new drive was created on my internal hard drive and apparently the allotted space is not enough.  How do I get rid of the partition and the error message?

  • Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.

    Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.
    Attempted solutions:
    -I created a new User Account and I can download large files with no issues.
    -I ran "Repair Disk Permissions" but still get warnings.
    Google Drive Warning:
    Spotify Warning:        
    But on my other user account I can use spotify and download large files, etc.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Premiere Elements reports low disk space error right at the end

    Ok, so I wait for 5 hours for a 3 hour long video to get saved to my computer.  It goes to 99% and then I get a low disk space error.  After I clear up space, and click Ok, it starts all over again.  Firstly, why doesn't PrE calculate/predict how much disk space I would need BEFORE starting to save, and secondly why does it at least not resume the saving process after I clear up disk space, instead it starts all over, with my 5 hours wasted?
    Some serisous usability issues.  Is it just me or do these things drive others crazy too? 
    Expected more from Adobe...

    Unfortunately, as PrE uses a 2-Pass Encoding scheme (helpful to get the best quality within the same file size), it does not know exactly how much space will be used, until well into the second pass - the first is a survey of any motion in the Clips on the Timeline, and the second is the actual Encoding, and writing of a file.
    Another consideration, regarding disk usage is whether one is Exporting/Sharing both Audio & Video. If one IS doing a Multiplexed file (with both an Audio and a Video Stream in one file), a Video-only file is written first, and then an Audio-only file, with a few "helper files" to be used in just a moment. Then, when that has completed, PrE reads those helper files, and creates the final, Multiplexed file. Last, the two separate Audio-only and Video-only files are Deleted. That takes some space, as at some point, one will have three large files, though two will be Deleted, along with the little helper files.
    How much defragmented, free-space do you have?
    What is your I/O setup, i.e. the number of physical HDD's, and how they are allocated?
    Good luck,

  • LMS 3.2 server - low disk space error.. Upm.db increasing rapidly......please help

    we r facing problem of low disk space error......upm.db file incresing 1 to 2 gb per week.
    if this continues our disk will get full & system may get crashed...... pls help

    Probably most space is being consumed by CSCOpx\log.  To quickly cleanup some logs, you can manuall run the command:
    logrot_trunc c:\Progra~1\CSCOpx\log\syslog.log
    Assuming this is the correct path on your server.  You can also schedule log rotation to occur on a regular basis to avoid the logs growing past a certain point.  This can be scheduled under Common Services > Server > Admin > Log Rotation.
    Might also be a good idea to check if you have debugging turned on under the various modules in LMS to decrease the speed of the log growth by setting the logging to a lower level.

    That normally occurs because someone has turned on system protection for the partition. I can't see your image just yet. 
    Check to make sure that has not happened.
    The following image is how the system protection  window should look
    The following image is what you should see in your recovery partition if you have file options to show protected files. Anyhting else should not be there.

  • Low disk space error

    When trying to navigate in large Word files--about 50 pages long, with many photo files within, I get an error message that I do not have enough disk space to save the file, or to continue working in the fil. My MacBook has 109.17 GB available on the HD (out of 148.7 GB), so it doesn't seem to be that. What other form of memory can it be referring to? What can I do about this? The computer is old, but new to me, and the hard drive was reformatted when I got it, about three months ago.

    Hi...
    The computer is old, but new to me, and the hard drive was reformatted when I got it, about three months ago.
    Disk space and memory (RAM) are two differen things.
    "not enough disk space" refers to the amount of free space on the hard disk.
    Even though the drive was reformatted, might be a good time to run Disk Utility to see if  the startup disk needs repairing.
    Launch Disk Utility located in /Applications/Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If the disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
    While you have Disk Utiilty open, check the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom of the window. Make sure it says:  Verified

  • Client Import --  low disk space error

    Hi experts,
    i am using SQL server 2005 on wix 2003 64 bit.
    I was doing client copy using SCC8 from Prod to Dev Server, total size of request file is 5 GB, while Importing request thru STMS, import stopped due to low space for log file in Development server.
    Is there any way to stop the logs while importing a client . Suggest the way out.
    thanks in advance

    You can put the database in 'SIMPLE' mode to stop logging during an heavy activity.
    If you want to 'continue' with the 'logging' then you need to take backup frequently to prevent low space for log file problem. Execute the transactional log backup with more frequency during the long and heavy activity.

  • Incorrect Low Disk Space Warning from HP Support Assistant

    I have an HP Envy m7 notebook. I am getting a warning from the HP Support Assistant that the Primary Drive C:  has low disk space. However, my Windows 8.1 Properties box for the C: drive says more that 90% of the drive is free, as I guessed. Why am I getting this seemingly incorrect warning?

    Hi sheryltoo,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you.
    I understand the HP support assistant is giving you a low disk space error, but you have plenty of free space available.
    Did the error pertain to a different drive letter other then you main drive?
    I suggest you uninstall and reinstall the  The HP Support Assistant.  If you have an older versions installed that may be why you are getting a false error.
    Please let me know the outcome.

  • Low disk space in recovery disk (d) drive in window 8.1

    I continue to receive the subject warning. I have never added any files to D, but I have 32.3 MB free of 25.5 GB. I have Administrator privilrges but am unable to view the files on D. When I click on recovery, I get an HP warning.

    Hi @pjd10 
    I grasp that you are a low disk space error on recovery D.  I regret that you are having that difficulty.
    Here is a link to HP PCs - Error: Low Disk Space. You are running out of disk space on Recovery (Windows 8) that should guide you to resolving this issue.
    Best of Luck!

  • Low Disk space in C drive

    Hi All,
    My MII server showing  "Low Disk Space" error for every 10 to 15 days once. I think the log files been generated more.
    My "C" drive has about 99.9GB space.
    Let me know how to avoid it?

    I would first look at which files are being generated that take up the space before changing any settings.  However, there are a number of log files which can be generated automatically and which can grow rather large.  Please identify the version and build of your MII (and NW if applicable) system.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Clean Install G4 Dual 1 GHz-Not enough Disk Space Error? -SLOW USB copies

    HELP puhleeeeze!
    This seems to be an issue on various sites with no one being able to figure out what is the cause and a solution. One person stated his problem went away with a fullwipe and clean-reinstall of everything. But this is what I did already. 
    What is the reason for the "Not Enough Disk Space" error message when both my hard drives have gigs of space available. If I had hair I'd be pulling it out by now!   When trying to copy a file to my 2 internal hard drives that have a lot of space available, but only by the USB port?!!
    I have a Power Mac G4 Mirrored Door (MDD) Dual 1 GHz with a clean install of 10.5.8 from the Original Mac OS X Leopard DVD. Both internal hard drives are 60GB and 100GB. The hard drives were wiped clean with Disc Utilities and reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The Power Mac only has the OS and a few music apps installed. Easily over 30 GB of space left on the the main G4 interal hard drive and about 75 GB on the other internal hard drive.
    The error seems to only happen when I connect a USB flash drive to the USB port. I tried to copy a 50MB update to the desktop-"Not Enough Disk Space" error message happened.
    I know that the G4 MDD Power Macs only have USB 1.0. Is this a USB 2.0 issue? Another issue is that it has very slow USB speed (dramtically slower than normal USB 1.0 copying of files. And this is only when it is successful. Is it a USB format issue? I know I couldn't get an external USB 2.0 drive to mount on the Power Mac at all. Disc Utilities could see it but it still would not mount. I have a friend who has an older G4 single processor Mac that doesn't experience these issues with its USB 1.0 ports.
    Now here's the kicker:
    If I put in a CD disc in the DVD/RW drive, it copies with no problems to either hard drive. If I connect to the Power Mac  via the ethernet network, files can copy with no problems. But any USB connection -  I get a the "Not Enough Disk Space" error message. I know this is an old mac... but it's never been problematic until this latest wipe and update to Leopard 10.5.8.
    Is there a solution to this? Any and all help, feedback, comments, thoughts are greatly appreciated in advance!!!

    Hello everyone,
    Ok, I did the ultimate task. I erased the hard drives, AGAIN. Just to start fresh from scratch. Hard drives were erased. Did a new install of Mac OS 10.5. And all was well. I could copy with no problems. I gave the computer to my friend and all was good for a couple of days and then the issue came back again. He couldn't copy anything to his internal hard drives and we received the "Not enough disk space" error message! I was baffled. A complete hard drive erase 2 times, 2 fresh Mac OS 10.5 installs and it works for a few days and then coping to HD we got the same **** problem again! THEN - I remembered that the PRAM battery was dead on this G4 Mirrored-Door Dual 1GHz PowerMac. I had recommended that he get a new battery, because this computer would always have the incorrect date and time after every restart. So with recalling this, I had him reset the PRAM by holding down the CMD+OPT+P+R keys after a restart (start-up Chime). I had him hold the keys for at least 3 start-up-chimes. Soon as the G4 Power Mac started up everything was fine again. He was able to copy files to his hard drives again with the "Not enough disk space" error message.
    So everyone! Try zapping your PRAM (resetting the PRAM) and see if this solves your problem. I told my friend to get a new PRAM battery to replace the old one that is completely dead. I have not heard back from him.  I will ask him again if the problem has come back.
    If that fails: My only other solution would be to consider that it is possible that Mac OS 10.5 has a conflict or issue with the G4 Processors and maybe it is safer to install Mac OS 10.3 or 10.4. Because this problem only has occured after installing Mac OS 10.5, the highest version of the Mac OS the Dual 1GHz Mirrored-Door G4 can be installed.
    Cheers,

    Hi,
    I believe these are the commands (round and do shell script) which causes this error.
    because it's not recommended to use commands of the osax "Standard Additions"  in the 'tell application "System Events"' block, although it works most of the time.
    Here is the modified script that does the same thing :
    set expectedNumberOfHardDisks to 2
    set minimumFreeSpacePercentage to 60
    set sendToAddresses to {"[email protected]"}
    set sendImmediately to false -- If this setting is false the message will be created but won't be sent until someone manually clicks the "send" button. Only useful for testing!!!

                   tell tDisk to set percentFree to (100 * (its free space)) div (its capacity)
                   if percentFree < minimumFreeSpacePercentage then
                        set almostFull to almostFull & (get name of tDisk) & ", "
                   end if
              end try
         end repeat
    end tell
    set notEnoughDisks to (count hardDisks) < expectedNumberOfHardDisks
    if notEnoughDisks or (almostFull is not "") then
         set messageText to "There is a potential problem with the hard disk drives on the server." & return & return & "Details:" & return
         if notEnoughDisks then set messageText to messageText & " * A hard disk drive may be missing" & return
