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 on recovery disk (d) drive

    Okay, I am so tired of receiving Low Disk Space on recovery (D). I have done everything it asked. Empty Recycle Bin which is EMPTY. I am not a computer wizard but it seems unfair that I have pay over $150.00 year to correct this problem once a year. I have checked a lot of places and it just keeps telling me the same thing. That doesn't work. Can someone explain to me in English (plain) how to correct this problem.

  • Insufficient disk space for encoding. disk space on encoding target drive?

    I keep having this message when I try to burn\enconde\build a DVD with DVDSP 4, I'm setting the Build folder in a external hard drive with 300Gigas free, so for sure is not the porblem...
    Insufficient disk space for encoding. Please free up disk space on your encoding target drive
    What should I do?? its kind of urgent!
    Cheers,
    Javier

    Ah Ha!
    I found this in a 2-pop forum - it may be the solution...
    "Are you both using the DVDSP Background encoder? If so, make sure the *DESTINATIONS PREFERENCE for ENCODING is pointing to the disk drive that actually HAS the free space* - normally, it points to the SAME FOLDER where the asset is living. If you're short on space on that drive, that will trigger the condition you describe... - always maintain this free space "

    That means that the disk is almost full.  Unless you free up some space  soon, your operating system will begin to behave strangely and eventually will no longer boot into Windows.
    Windows operating system uses part of the capacity of the hard disk for virtual memory. A good rule of thumb is to never come to within 15-20% of the hard disk's capacity.

  • How do i get rid of low disk space message popup HP tools drive E on pavilion g7-1219wm notebook pc

    How do i get rid of low disk space message ( you are running out of disk space on Hp_Tools (E popup HP tools drive E on pavilion g7-1219wm notebook pc.  It is very annoying.  I am i school and I have noticed it since downloading different assignments from my college black boards.

    Thanks Banhien for your quick response.  However my system shows no backup schedule to disable.  I do have a 'Manage Space" link and a Turn on schedule link and change settings link along with Restore options with 3 options-' restore all user files- select another backup to restore files from and recover system settings on your computer.   If I click on 'Manage Space link',  it gives me the option to 'Select how disk space is used by Windows back up'- then there are two options:  'data file backup'-which indicates i can free up space by deleting file backups, and the other option is 'system image' which is greyed out.  Upon clicking on the option (view backups) under 'data file backup option'- it shows the current data file backups on my hp_tools (e the date of the file is displayed and the amount of usage- it gives me the option to delete- should I click the delete button?

    Hi,
    Please try:
    Click Start, type "Backup and Restore," and press Enter.  This brings up Windows Backup which is a little different than system protection.
    In the middle of the Window you should see that the backup is on a schedule.  Disable this.
    Save your changes.
    Delete the backup folder on the E:
    Reboot notebook and verify that this resolves the issue.

  • Unallocated Disk Space after Recovery

    I performed a system recovery to factory settings that resulted in my Disk space being distributed differently than before. I have a lot of unallocated space as you can see bellow. I need to know how to fix and how to prevent this from happening the next time I perform a recovery. Also, is it normal for the RECOVERY (D) partition to show multiple times in Disk Management ?
    Thanks.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    You can extend the C partition into the 'unallocated space' as follows.
    Once again, hold down the Windows Key and press R.  Into the Run Box type compmgmt.msc and hit enter.  Click Disk Management in the left pane and let the drives load up.
    In the lower graphical view of the partitions, right click the C partition and select 'Extend Volume'.
    In the following window, click Next.
    In the next window, using the 'Select the amount of space in Mb' make sure that this is showing the same figure as the 'Maximum available space in Mb' figure that is listed just above ( adjust it if necessary ).
    Then click on Next and click on Finish.
    This may take a few minutes to complete.

  • How to migrate from my old MacBook Pro to a new one with less disk space and an external hard drive?

    I have just bought a new MacBook Pro and an external hard drive.
    Yet I have problems migrating data from my old MacBook Pro (more internal disk space with around 500 GB data) to my new one (internal disk space less than 500 GB). 
    I have connected all 3 devices but it seems the Migration Assistant does not have an option for us to select to migrate to an external hard drive.
    Any other way to do it?
    Kindly help me.  Thanks.

    For your situation, Target disk mode may be the most efficient method:

  • Database msdb cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space - in recovery pending status

    came in this fine monday morning and it looks like developers were running some kind of trace that filled the primary DATA folder with about 80,000 5mb trace files.  now that process has stopped and the logfiles have been cleaned up, but when attempting to connect to the server using the management console i get the error:
    Database 'msdb' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space.  See the SQL Server errorlog for details. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
    when i check the status it is in recovery pending mode.  i have a backup from yesterday but im not sure if this database became corrupt before that backup or not because this process was ongoing over the weekend.  the last timestamp on the msdb and log files is 7am this morning.. 
    I am not sure how to proceed recovering the msdb database with limiting interruption to the users.  any advice is extremely appreciated.  this is sql server 2008.  i can login via sqlcmd and see it is in recovery pending status:
    1> select state_desc databasestatus_sysdtabase from
    2> sys.databases where name ='msdb'
    3> go
    select state_desc databasestatus_sysdtabase from
    sys.databases where name ='msdb'
    databasestatus_sysdtabase
    RECOVERY_PENDING
    (1 rows affected)

    For someone experiencing a similar problem this answer is unacceptable. You're basically telling me to reboot the server to fix this.  You vaguely mention using process explorer to find out who is using the file.  Can you please provide
    some more information on that?  I have a similar problem and rebooting the server to fix it is not an option.  This problem keeps reoccurring.
    OS Error 32 means file has an open handle by someone else. If that is a user process then you can catch it via Process Explorer. If it's a kernel mode object then it's difficult to catch that and restart is the only choice.

  • Non system disk error with recovery disks--New hard drive

    HP Pavillion Model a6632f
    Ordered new recovery disks from HP after installing brand new hard drive.  Getting errors trying to boot/install.  Now what? 

    It sounds like the boot device order is not set correctly. Please try this:
    1. Remove the recovery disk (cd) from the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) if you have it loaded. Make sure the only    
        peripherals  (cables) you have connected to the tower are the monitor, mouse, keyboard and main power.
    2. Start the computer and immediately strike the F10 key to boot into the BIOS Screen
    3. Once in the BIOS screen, strike the F5 key to reload the BIOS default settings.
    4. A message will pop up asking if you wish to SAVE & EXIT BIOS?
    5. Respond YES and exit.
    The computer should attempt to boot up at this point. Go ahead and open the CD/DVD drive tray and insert
    the 1 of system recovery disk and close the drive tray. Immediately force power off on the tower by pushing and
    holding the power button. Once power goes off, allow appx 10-20 seconds and power the tower back on. If
    reloading the default BIOS settings has corrected the system boot device order, the computer should now boot
    immediately from the Optical Drive (CD drive) and begin the system recovery.

  • Reclaiming disk space after deleting virtual hard drive

    Hello forum, I have to temporarily create a 200GB virtual disk and attach to a virtual server. The purpose of the disk is for moving some files across different servers. Once the files have been moved, I would like to delete the disk and release the space back to the datastore. Can this be done? I have a datastore with enough disk space from which the temporary disk will be created. But I would like to release the space back to that datastore once purpose is solved. Any inputs?
    Thanks in advance.

    Like already stated above, make sure select the option Remove from virtual machine and delete files from disk when removing the disk from virtual machine. Take in mind that VM must not be running from a snapshot, otherwise only the delta file will be deleted: VMware KB: Removing a harddisk from a virtual machine through the vSphere client does not release the desired space.…

  • Hyper-V: Why difference between "Free Disk Space" and "Inspect Disk" for a VM (Guest OS is Windows 2008, 2008 R2, 2010, 2010 R2)

    I am trying to figure out the "Free Disk Space" on a VM on Hyper-V host.
    When I see the available space inside the VM, shown by Microsoft OS, it is less than, what is reported by the ‘Inspect Disk’ utility of Hyper-V Manager.
    Why this difference?

    Hi,
    Is it the exactly 10% free space when the issue occurs? Please run a chkdsk in CMD on that partition and see the size of available space matches the 10% - I'm thinking if it is actually full when a part of disk space is not calculated.
    In my test I created a 9.87GB partition and keep copy a 1GB file on it. Now it only has about 130MB free space but I can still add txt file with small size onto it. So what's the exact message you got?
    If it is a warning (but users can still add files onto it), please see if this will help:

  • After a disk crash and recovery disk reload, I'm left w/o address book. any suggestions for a recovery?

    There is a discontinuity in time machine, I think it happened last week. I've used the recovery disk partition and time machine, as well as Super
    Duper.  The time machine full restore left addressbook and mail disfunctional.  I then ran Super
    duper, which recovered Mail, but not address book
    Any suggestions?    BTW, as far as I know, the data for address book is still in the Library, it'"s only the app that's  Missing

    Thanks for your reply John, but that didn't do the trick for me. I called Apple's professional audio support. Even though I didn't get the answer I wanted to hear, the support was awesome - the guy was very knowledgeable and helpful. Basically, the error I'm experiencing is a nasty one if it appears with pro apps like Logic. He indicated my only recourse was to re-install Logic. Since I'm on Logic 7, I figured if I have to re-install, might as well upgrade to Logic 8. I'm mid-project right now, so I'm pretty nervous doing that, but not much choice.

  • How to get available disk space for a disk in the system ?

    hi all,
    I need to figure out the available disk space for a particular disk before I can write my file to a directory in the disk. I do this to avoid unsufficient disk space problem in my program. May I know how can I do this in Java ? I look at the API function for java.io.File class but there isn't any function to check disk space. I would appreciate any help from fellow Java developers. Thanks a million.
    regards,
    tuck meng

    You cannot do this in purely platform independent way.
    You can use System.exec to run native OS utilities like df and parse the output, but then you have to knwo which platform your program is running on, or build in some automatic detection of OS and have corresponding native calls for each likely one.
    BTW. even if you get a number of free bytes on disk that's larger than the size of the file you want to write this is no guarantee that there will be enough diskspace for your file, because another process might write to the disk in the meantime. So you will have to do proper error handling and recover gracefully from the disk full sitution no matter what.

  • Why does my computer freeze when updateing if i have enough disk space and no disk repairs are needed?

    I have problems updating my softwarebecause my computer freezes when it restarts to install. I have enough disk space and I checked for disk repairs and everthing is ok. Still can't update and not my cumputer is taking longer to turn on. There is an earth blinking then i get the apple logo blinking before it turns on and this takes close to 5 minutes.

    When you say, "disk repairs" are you referiring to permissions or verifying the disk because clearly there's a problem.
    Boot from your install disc, run Disk Utilty to "verify" and if necessary repair the startup disk. (Not Verify Disk Permissions).

  • Low on disk space, no sound. CD drive and speakers dont work.

    I am missing the core processor on my HP Pavilion dv6707us Entertainment Notebook PC.

    Yes.
    Copy your music iTunes Library folder to the external drive and change the Advanced settings in iTunes to point to this new location.
    Once you're happy with these changes you can delete the same Library from your User account to free up space on the internal drive.
